Out of Orbit – The Fantasy Cast
Progress on Out of Orbit is slow, but steady. I’m not at the point yet where I can say “the end is in sight”, but I’m at the point where being able to say “the end is in sight” is in sight. Or something like that. 😀 Anyhoo, I decided to mix things up and […]

Flight of the Dragon Queen – Coming Soon!
I love writing for the 1Night Stand series, as there’s an infinite number of stories to be told, all while following the stated guidelines. They’re addictive! So I’m thrilled to announce I signed a contract for my next contribution, Flight of the Dragon Queen (unofficial subtitle: Thea Plays Too Many Video Games). Here, have a […]

Coincidence vs. Influence
Back in September, I blogged (again) about those “oh, shit” moments I’ve had when realizing something I’ve written is very, very similar to something that already exists. It’s happened to me a couple times, but I’ve reassured myself that there’s always enough differences for it not to be a big deal. To recap that particular […]

(Spoiler-Free) Thoughts on Dragon Age: Inquisition (and how they relate to writing)
I’m nearing the end of my second playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition. This time, obviously, I’ve been taking my time and not blazing through to get to the end, letting the game consume every moment of my free time. Also (and I’ll elaborate on this throughout), I was able to almost halve the number of […]

Take Notes, This is How It’s Done
Dragon Age: Inquisition arrived at my house almost two weeks ago, and I’ve been playing it non-stop since then. (The game is MASSIVE, and I know I still have a ways to go. At least I’m getting my money’s worth! Writing can wait.) I’ll reserve my final judgment for when I finish my first playthrough, […]

Copycats
It’s been said for a while that there are no truly original ideas anymore. Which, well, maybe. I haven’t decided whether I agree or disagree with that, but I subscribe to the concept that it’s all about how you spin an idea and make it your own, and not whether the core ideas are similar […]

We Were On a Break!
I’m still taking a little breather from writing, and yes, still playing games. I finished the main part of Dragon Age: Origins, finished DA: Awakenings tonight, and I have one more DLC to go. I’ll probably play through a couple more of the origin stories, but I don’t know how many times I’ll replay the […]

This Post is Totally About Writing
Haha, no it isn’t. It’s about video games. But I’ll bring it around to storytelling, I promise. So I’m taking my little writing break. I read some books I wanted to read, and I’ve finally embarked on playing Dragon Age: Origins. From what I’ve heard from friends and the internet in general is that Origins […]

A Strange Feeling
I finished up and submitted my most recent project (more on that another time; regardless of how confident I feel, I’m always afraid of jinxing myself), meaning I have no WIPs going right now. As the post title says, it’s a strange feeling: I always feel like I should be writing something, but at the […]

Team, Assemble!
The Disintegration sequel (aka The Fall of the Midnight Scorpions, which I should really start using more since I’ve yet to come up with a better title) is coming along swimmingly. So far, I’m really happy with the way everything’s been turning out and I’m excited for what’s yet to come. That doesn’t mean writing […]
