Writer’s Ramble: Some Thoughts on the Dragon Awards, and SF/F Publishing Awards in General

(Trying out putting super-titles before article titles so I can better categorize my posts here in the future once I reorganize this site. This post, and posts that’ll have the Writer’s Ramble super-title will be largely written in one sitting, with me just saying my opinions, as opposed to future articles that’ll feature more researchContinue reading “Writer’s Ramble: Some Thoughts on the Dragon Awards, and SF/F Publishing Awards in General”

Stepping Off Into a Dream: Rebranding, and a New Direction

I am writing this—at least part of this—while flying 35,000 feet above the Atlantic Ocean (and possibly part while over Europe.)

JordanCon 2014 Recap (Part 2)

On to day 2. (Also here I’d like to thank the creators of the JordanCon app, which makes looking back at the panel details much easier, in addition to being useful during the convention.)

While completing that first one was in many ways more important in that I knew that I could finish a novel,Continue reading “Some Thoughts and Observations After Completing My Second Book”
