Of Progress and Patreon!

We’re already over a month into the new year. It’s amazing how much can happen in a month that seems to fly by so fast. I do love February though, it’s that whole thing I have about number 2. This year has already been a whirlwind for me when it comes to writing. I devoured eleven books in January, and wrote my own, then began editing. Right now I’m looking at three tentative release dates this…

2018 - into the blue

2018 – into the blue

I was really going to write a post on the 4th of January, but then I got a hold of this fantastic book called Awaken Online, and I was hooked. Not just on the book, but on the genre. So I hid away for a number of days, pulling my blankets over my head and huddling over my kindle while devouring book after book. GameLit (or else LitRPG which is trademarked and you have to be careful how you use it…

NaNo, Fresh Starts, and Perspective

First things first. I did NaNo this year and won! I worked on a story idea I’ve had on the back burner for a couple of years. 2017 has been a lot of bad things, but for me, this last third has been a bit better. I’ve been able to write, and rediscovered my love for creating. Writing is one of those things that is always there. You can pour as much into it as you make time for, as your brain has…

Some days are harder than others. Being a writer has so many roadblocks and obstacles, deadlines and requirements. But then I look at my little girl - I always tell her that if she really tries and works hard, she can do anything. So if I won't let her give up, how can I not lead by example? #inspiration #writerslife #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #amreading #amwriting #nevergiveuponyourdreams #nevergiveuphope

Digging deep - On why writers deserve to be paid

Digging deep – On why writers deserve to be paid

It’s no news to anyone that life isn’t always easy. There are hard parts in everything we do. As an author, some of those parts – many of those parts – are out of our control. We get the idea, write the story, refine the story, send it out, and try to remember to breathe while we wait. Maybe we’re waiting on a critique from critique partners or feedback from a beta reader, on something to help us…

Tabletop Gaming has a White Male Terrorism Problem

I am a gamer. I followed the call of Cthulhu and ran in the shadows with hackers and shamans. I traversed the ancient lands of Greyhawk, Faerun, and Eberron with companions new and old. I swung from an airship and buckled swash over London for the Kerberos Club. I threw dice and flipped cards and ground men into dust playing table-top wargames.

I don’t do that anymore.

Since July of 2015 fans of the game Malifaux have been attempting to overwhelm me with death and rape threats for no other reason than I am a woman who has opinions on the game. Wyrd Miniatures is silent on this matter and hangs up whenever anyone attempts to discuss the harassment. Given that a large number of threats identify the senders by name as Wyrd staff members, I do not find this surprising.

But that’s not what this article is about.
