April 2024 Update

Time has been flying by a mile a minute here so I thought I’d make a quick update before the month is completely gone. It’s been a wild time. Between my academic work, fiction writing, DMing, and life I have been running a little ragged this month.

Writers’ Retreat 2024

I got to take off this past weekend for a writers’ retreat with folks from Tavern Tall Tales. It was a bit of an adventure. We talked shop, swapped stories, and gave each other writing/publishing advice. The whole weekend was a great get away.
