I've had a few ideas bubbling up in the quiet of the week. The problem is that the one I really want to work on next wants to be HUGE. I'm talking Epic Fantasy huge. I don't have any experience writing big sweeping fantasies. World building beyond a small contained section of a world is… Continue reading Learning a new genre: Epic Fantasy

Some days I'm only hitting about 150-300 words, other days I'm cranking out nearly 2k. It depends on… Continue reading NaNoWriMo – Week One Done
