I’m Writing Darkfire—Get a Sneak Peek
Hello Rebels, and welcome back to my life.
So a few days ago, while recording a video, I decided to start writing the first draft of Darkfire. And I mean I literally decided to do that WHILE I was recording the video. I’d been working on the outline for a long long while, and I just felt like it was time to begin.
I’m really, really super happy with how it’s been going so far. And really quick I want to say thank you to everyone who has been tuning in to the VlogaNovel live writing streams with words of encouragement.
In a way, the Nightblade series is going to be a series of trilogies. Every three books in the series will be one big, broad, overall arc in the long story of Loren’s life, and that means Darkfire has a lot of work to do as the ending of the first trilogy.

What an Author Platform REALLY Is (and why some “experts” get it wrong)
Hello Rebels and welcome back to my life!
So today is Writer Wednesday, the day when I talk about tips and tricks for indie authors. Today I want to talk not about writing, but about part of the self-publishing process: building your author platform.
The Author Platform is a very hot buzzword in self-publishing. Everyone knows you need one. Lots of people offer advice on how to build one. Some of that advice is bad, but some of it is very, very good.
But a lot of people misunderstand WHAT a platform is—even platform building experts. And what’s REALLY weird is that I’ve seen advice from some platform-building experts that’s GOOD advice, and WORKS—but almost on accident.

Well I’m Sick And Have a Zit
The title of this one pretty much says it all. Sorry today's video is a little sub-par; I probably wouldn't have made it, if I wasn't trying to complete VEDA and only a few days away. Anyways, enjoy, and I will be better tomorrow! (Hopefully).

Game of Thrones Season 5, Episode 3 Review
Hello Rebels, and welcome back to my life.
So this is going to be a really quick recap of this week’s episode of Game of Thrones, and it’s probably not gonna be under four minutes long like my normal videos, because there’s too much to cover in an hour-long TV show.
However, I will try to keep it as short as I possibly can, so here we go.
