  • Creativity – Orrr Lack Thereof?

    It really never ceases to amaze me how strong my creativity is connected to my physical (or emotional) well-being. It’s way easier to create when I’m feeling well (or on the days when I gather the gumption to exercise). But throw in an emotional slump, or a gray and cloudy day, or a cold (like…

  • April Poll Results In! – Excerpt from Raenden the Blessed

    Thanks to everyone who voted in April’s poll!

It keeps getting cut! Check out the other version here. Winters passed without much grumble in the village of Sinoa, and Jaranin was sure glad…

  • Cut Scene – TVB: “In the Rain”

    Update : Added link in footnotes. Updated formatting to current blog standards. Since I’m now working on writing TVB instead of just planning it out, I’ll probably be posting a lot more excerpts over the months to come. As I post this, I’m in the process of reviewing chapters 1 and 2, which I wrote…
