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 […]

Carpe Blogiem: Author, Patreon, and Blog Highlights – January 2019
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 […]

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 […]
