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.

Gittin Er Dun

There are many talents of modern creativity that are difficult for me even decades into the craft. One of my glaring personal hardships is having trouble finishing projects. In writing this usually means I have about twenty-to-one “chapter 1s” versus “the ends”. I’ll hit a spot where I don’t know my next move or have trouble continuing and figure some space will help me focus… Sometimes for several years. This week I’ve been on a roll though.

Massive Movie Monster Mayhem

I’ve been creating a special topics research class for a minute now. We can pitch class ideas for the May Intersession (a weird pseudo-semester outside our normal 3). Usually, it is an experimental time to try out a new class idea or concept. There have been Bridge playing classes, trips to far-off countries, Star Wars philosophy, and volunteer events with the Special Olympics. I decided to pitch ‘rubber suit monster movie appreciation’ and got it!

Now I just had to choose my film list…

Upcoming Projects – Spring 2024

Hello and howyadoings, gentle readers! I’ve been a lot more active in my writing recently. I’d been on a hiatus for a while the world was on fire but it seems like that is just the new normal going forward. So, when asked to help write regularly for the Tavern Tall Tales Magazine, I gladly accepted. Joining in has really helped me make writing part of my routine again. Which has led me to advance several projects forward. So now I’m gonna tell you about them and what that means for you!
