Hey all, Dani here. Well, another week has come and gone, and that means I'm here with another Weekend Writer post. I need to try and get some of these read through and prepped in advance, which will hopefully be a bit easier once I've finished with this book. It's pretty chunky compared to the… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Narrative Design, or Chapter Four of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer
Hey all, Dani here. If someone had told me years ago that I would have a decently successful blog posting content every day, or that I would have a dedicated blog series focused on the craft of writing and inspiring people to write, I don't think I would have believed them. Sure, I've always dreamed… Continue reading Weekend Writer: The Ecosystem of Story, or Chapter Two of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer
Hey all, Dani here. Welcome to the first actual post of Weekend Writer. I've been so nervous about really diving into this series on my blog, but I think it will be good for me, and hopefully you all get something from it as well. It would be really cool for all of us who… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Inspiration and the Creative Life, or Chapter One of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer
Hey all, Dani here. In all honestly the Writer's Symposium at Gen Con had the opposite effect I was hoping for. There were a few interesting things I learned, and it was cool to meet authors who either work as a writer full time or who have a day job and then write on the… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Introduction
Hey all, Dani here. It's Book Lovers' Day, so I figured I would celebrate that with today's discussion topic. I always find it fascinating to see what books really resonate with each of us, what books we consider to be important to our soul, what books we can't help but recommend to others in most… Continue reading Discussion: What are some of your favorite books?
Hey all Dani (and Damian) here. It has been a couple eventful days already, but it started with what we'll call Gen Con Day Zero. The day before the convention officially starts is a day to pick up your badge and tickets early, find some awesome random nerds sitting around chatting or playing a game… Continue reading Gen Con – Day One
Hey all, Dani here. I feel like I need to apologize for not having a post up the past couple of days. The past couple of weeks it has been a teensy bit of a struggle to get my posts written and scheduled on time, and I was putting a lot of pressure on myself… Continue reading Discussion: Blogger Burnout
Hey all, Dani here. Wow, we're already at Wednesday this week, somehow. Where is the time going? Anyway, welcome back to my weekly post where I wrap up everything that I've read, watched, listened to, done, etc. Let's start off with what I've read in the last week. I finished Once & Future by Amy… Continue reading Weekly Wrap-Up (9)
Hey all, Dani here. I'm just popping in for a quick little backlist review today. Damian and I have a busy sort of date day planned. We are going out to a nice dinner (and then probably going to B&N) before going to the theatre to watch my best friend and the rest of his… Continue reading Review: Gmorning, Gnight!: Little Pep Talks for Me & You
Hey all, Dani here. Today's post is a part of a series that I haven't really kept up with, but this is a project that I really care about, so I'm bringing back Signal Boost for the moment. And you may see more posts similar to this in the future. Anyway, this series was inspired… Continue reading Signal Boost: Critical Role Animated Kickstarter
