Authorial Highlights I reorganized GURPS SNO-51 and added several missing things reviewers noted. I also added a running example that seems to be working quite well for reviewers. The reorg took me about a week to do right and the example helped a LOT there. I’m almost at wordcount – which isn’t great because […]

Carpe Blogiem: Author, Patreon, and Blog Highlights – March 2019
Authorial Highlights I finished GURPS SNO-51 – the first draft anyways. The second chapter was much lighter than I outlined it to be, so I’ve got to find something to do with that space. I also am going to need to reorganize the whole thing, add a glossary, and a running example. It’s that […]

Authorial Highlights Work continued on GURPS SNO-51. It’s all coming together in a really great way. I upped my required word count per day to 1,000 and if all goes according to plan I’ll finish sometimes mid-month in March with the first draft. (A 1,000 words the mechanically intensive or research required projects is […]

Authorial Highlights Work began in earnest on project SNO-51. No more dribs. No more drabs. I’ve set myself a work schedule and so far I’ve stuck to it. There have been difficult problems here and there, but I’mve averaging about a 1,000 words per day just on this alone. There are some things I’m […]

Here are how things went for me in 2018: The Good (What I did well or that went well) I got contracted for a small item (which was published in GURPS Monster Hunters 6: Holy Hunters and in Pyramid #3/122: All Good Things). That was novel and very cool I was among the privileged few […]

Authorial Highlights My Pyramid article “Chevaliers and Commanders” (originally titled Cavaliers and Commanders”) was published in Pyramid #3/122: All Good Things. My other Pyramid article “Native American Crusaders” was published in the same issue. This, along with the small box in GURPS Monster Hunters 6: Holy Hunters was part of my short contract I hinted […]

August was measurably better then almost all of the preceding months of 2018. My writing output wasn’t where I wanted. I average about 3,000 words of creative content per day and take the weekend off to decompress and lately it’s been around 1,500 words and no days off because I’m trying to catch up. Here’s […]

And the suckage is back for September. Will my personal life please stop exploding every five minutes? K. Thx. Bai. My writing output dropped back down to about 500 words per day and I take the latter half of the month to decompress, but alas, that didn’t work as I had a major family crisis […]

Life(TM) continues to beat me mercilessly. I continue screaming at it in defiance. Here are the things that happened in July this year. Authorial Highlights I wrote and had published an article to for an unannounced Pyramid issue (#3/118: Dungeon Trips); “It’s an Encounter!” joins it’s siblings “It’s a Threat!”, “It’s a Trap!”, and “It’s a […]

Like my last four years in review. Here are how things went for me in 2017: The Good (What I did well or that went well) I was among the privileged few to participate in the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game as an author. As I’ve noted elsewhere, the other list of names included Phil Masters, David L. Pulver, Matt Riggsby, and […]
