The Next Step

It’s now been a week since the final episode of The Dreamer’s Thread dropped. The response has been overwhelming for me, to be honest. I’ve received several reports of tears, but I have been assured they were all the good kind. If you haven’t heard the final episode yet, I’ll not spoil it for you, [...]

The end is nigh…

Well, if you’ve gotten to this point, you’ll know by now that the end of The Dreamer’s Thread is rapidly approaching. Episode 22 will be released in roughly 24 hours from the time I’m writing this and it should be a good one.
I must admit though, I’m a little sad. This small project of mine [...]

A bit about “The Ship’s Cook”

If you haven’t heard this week’s episode yet, you might be missing out. For those of you that have, I thought I might share a bit about the story and the author behind it.
Carmen Fowle wrote the piece for a creative writing class she was taking. Before she did so, she asked me for permission, [...]

NaNoWriMo: The Origin of TDT

A recent conversation on Twitter prompted me to write this blog post. It got me thinking about November and the madness that is National Novel Writing Month. NaNoWriMo holds a special place in my heart for several reasons. Over the course of two Novembers (and a little bit here and there in between) I wrote [...]

Are you ready for episode 3?

You have no idea how hard it is to hold on to a finished episode like this one and not be tempted to release it early.
Episode 3 won’t be out until tomorrow, so instead of torturing myself with its awesomeness, I spent some of the evening reviewing the rough cut of episode 4.
I’m still silently [...]

Procrastination: The Enemy

Okay, so I’ve been a bit lacking in the creative department lately, but I am making it a priority to schedule time every day to write. This afternoon I am taking my laptop to the park and I am going to write until it either starts to rain or the battery starts to die. I [...]

Slow going

Well, I’ve been quite the slacker in regards to the novel lately, but I have gotten a few things accomplished. Last week I finished the second draft of part 2, but I’ve not made much headway on part 4. It’s not all bad though.
Total Word count as of today: 88,479.

Hitting the Mark

So, in the last week or so I’ve accomplished little on the book, however, I am proud to say that I just broke 10k words on Part 4! Officially I have under 14,000 words to write before I hit my goal of 100k, but the end is so near I can almost taste it. But, [...]
