This is a small exerpt from The Concourse to Victory, available now:

Today I am going to share an exerpt from my as-yet-untitled manuscript that has been in progress for years now. Feel lucky, I don't typically share things I'm not finished with or haven't published yet:

Map making.

So a probably vaguely important part of any major fantasy undertaking is the map. This also a ridiculously difficult part, so lets talk about it a bit.

Today will be a day long remembered. Like the moon landing, the fall of the Berlin Wall, this is going to be one of those days we’ll smile when we tell our grandchildren about. May 1^st, 2011: Osama Bin Laden is DEAD!

Updates and Projects.

Well, as you may have noticed, the posts have been fairly scant of light. The truth is I haven’t been writing, going through sort of an annual lul I suppose. For about 6 weeks or so each year I have to stop. I play video games for a bit, watch some TV, and wait for the inspiration to return.

The very best gaming operating system there is:

So today I’d like to diverge a bit from talking about writing(because I haven’t been writing) and instead talk about gaming(because I HAVE been gaming).

Well, I notice I haven't been around in a while, and I'm sorry for that. It's ok since I don't have any actual followers, but I also haven't been writing for a while, and it feels unfair to continue posting to a writing blog when I am not writing.

So today I am going to do something a little unusual. I am going to post a story from an as-yet unpublished work, and I am going to post the complete story. Not that anyone will actually read it, but nothing ever dies on the internet.

Writing a trilogy.

Well, it’s high time I got back on that horse and started posting again. I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus, but since I don’t actually have any followers its really ok. Anyways, today we are going to dig in and explore the intricacies of writing a trilogy.

Writing from a dream

We all have dreams. I don’t mean like Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, though hopefully you have some like that. I’m talking about the sorts of crazy things you get while you’re asleep.

Well, if you’ve got good enough recall, you can turn these into fantastic stories.

Last week Ioffered up the first half of chapter 1 of Scion of the Storm, the sequel to Author of the Gust. Today, I present to you, the rest of the chapter:

I’d like to dig back into world development today. Specifically how to generate long-term potential in your novel series.

Today for your enjoyment, I am posting the opening few pages of Scion of the Storm, the sequel to Author of the Gust.
