Hey all, Dani here. It has been a very productive week, and I'm hoping that I can continue that trend through the rest of the month. Oh, and looking ahead to next month, I'm really trying to get posts prepped up for November now, because I really want my focus to be on writing for… Continue reading Weekly Wrap-Up (35)
Hey all, Dani here. Welcome back to Weekend Writer. Today I'm talking through the first section of my next writing craft read, which was chosen by you guys on Twitter (follow me @danielle.thamasa to keep up with the latest polls), and honestly I'm really happy this book was chosen. I flew through it pretty quickly… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Reconnaissance, or Part One of The Art of War for Writers by James Scott Bell
Hey all, Dani here. Is today's post a little bit of a hybrid between a typical review and also a Weekend Writer post? Well, sort of. I mean, I'm counting it as both. That's for sure. But I can't travel through this one like I'm doing with my Weekend Writer posts. In the book, there… Continue reading Weekend Writer Review: Embrace Your Weird: Face Your Fears and Unleash Creativity by Felicia Day
Hey all, Dani here. Sorry for my supremely late post yesterday. Damian decided that it would be a great and worthwhile idea to drive straight from work down to Cincinnati for Felicia Day's book signing.

I think this was a great book to start… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Workshop Appendix & Additional Writing Exercises of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer
Hey all, Dani here. It's time for another discussion post. And I actually came up with the idea for this one a few weeks ago when I was starting to do my planning for my October posts.

Hey all, Dani here. We've almost finished a whole book for this blog series! Wow, that is awesome and crazy at the same time. Oh, and I promise that the next several books will not take this many posts to get through. Seriously, this is one of the longest writing craft books I have found… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Revision, or Chapter 7 of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer
Hey all, Dani here. So this past weekend Damian and I went to work with my friend Brad from Colorworld Books, and it was quite a busy time, but it was overall a wonderful experience. Brad's wife, Rachel, writes the Colorworld book series, which I admit to being obsessed with--actually, I bet I'll have another… Continue reading Cincinnati Comic Expo 2019 Wrap-Up
Hey all, Dani here. Sorry I'm posting so late, but this last day of the Cincinnati Comic Expo was long and a bit tiring. It was also a fantastic day. Damian and I bought a lot of cool artwork and other geeky merchandise. Oh, and I got Wil Wheaton's autograph, which was fantastic. And Damian… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Worldbuilding, or Chapter Six of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer
