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 “Merlin’s Magnificent Menagerie” was published in Pyramid #3/120: Travels and Tribulations. I sent back comments on that short GURPS item along with a bit more material. That’s done. I hope. My non-GURPS project stalled got some headway and there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel. And none to […]

Croatoan Point . . . the messed up love child of Outland, the disappearance of the Roanoke Colony, and my childhood fear of spiders who can move between the walls. (Yes, that was a fear I had as a child. I was a weird child.) All in all it took me about 25 hours to […]

Aethyric Space was the second article I co-wrote with J. Edward Tremlett. We decided early on the best thing to do was to partition the work according to our strengths. J. knows how to write a compelling bit of fluff and I’m a fair hand with the crunch. Together we hopped to create an interesting […]

Authorial Highlights My Pyramid article “The Fifth Attribute” was published in Pyramid #3/120: Alternate GURPS V. I wrote, revised, and submitted my short GURPS item with its shorter deadline. That’s done. My non-GURPS project stalled while I sort some stuff out behind the scenes. I ended up having to toss about 1200 words of material out after […]

When S. A. Fisher came to me with an idea for a Pyramid article I immediately offered to help him in whatever way I could. Shawn had assisted me previously with a few other projects in the past, played cheerleader when I needed it, and in general acted as the mentor I view him as. When […]

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 […]
