Print Editions Now Available: Lunar Colony VI & Never Alone
After months of being plagued by medical issues that
totally tanked my productivity, I’m finally getting back to the swing of things
and getting through the list of things I should have done a long while ago.
One of the first things is (as you’ve likely deduced from
the title and cover image) print copies of the Lunar Colony VI omnibus and
Never Alone!

Writing Advice: Ignore Writing Advice (at least for the first draft)
There’s a lot of writing advice out there. And that’s
awesome.
We live in an age where a google search can answer a
question you have about the business or process when you’re on a caffeine buzz
at 2 a.m. trying to finish that last chapter.
But sometimes, the ease of access can be a little
distracting. I’ve talked to several people who get stuck on first drafts
because they can’t get

mediums dive into their dreams to retrieve ectoplasms—sticky blobs with
curiously soothing properties that are the only form of art in the world. The

A Month Later, My Thoughts on The Force Awakens
It’s been a month since Star Wars: The Force Awakens came
out and I figure we’re past the point of possible spoilers. If you’re going to
see it, you’ll have seen it by now. If you haven’t seen it by now, you’re
probably not all that worried about spoilers.
In the past month, I’ve seen a lot of varying opinions on
the film and the continuation of the franchise. There’s been a lot of hate, but
out and I figure we’re past the point of possible spoilers. If you’re going to
see it, you’ll have seen it by now. If you haven’t seen it by now, you’re

7 Things You Should Have On Your Desk
Pens. Oh, so many
pens.
There is nothing more exasperating than needing a pen and
not being able to find one. Or worse, using the one you have on hand only to
find out that the flimsy piece of marketing that you’ve been relying on for the
last two months has finally given up the ghost. Pens are important. That ink
can be the lifeblood of to-do lists, notes for books, posts, and revisions.
