Ernie Smith – The Life and Chaos of a Retired Old God

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been working to get all my Ernie Smith stories combined into one book. I’m still working on the blurb for this book, but these are the stories that will be in this book: Editing these has been interesting. First and foremost of which is that I realised I’d dropped an entire scene in the published version of Finding Death’s Scythe – no clue how I missed that. It doesn’t

New Logo

Ever since I created my logo, I have been going back and forth on it thinking something was missing, so I made a new logo. I decided that the lack of something closing around it was the problem, so I spent a bit of time looking at different options and I’m loving this new design. It looks great in black and white ????. Which one do you prefer?

Copy edits back for Rift Bloodlines book 1 – buried by Earth

I have the Copy edits back for Rift Bloodlines Book 1 – Buried by Earth…. and I have finished reviewing them. For some reason, I’d thought this process would take a few weeks, but it didn’t – which is a nice change to over estimate ????. I learned that I clearly don’t understand commas, and sentence that use a clarifier of ‘which’ should not be its own sentence. There were a number of other things

Short Stories for Rift bloodlines

Draft 2 of all the short stories for Rift Bloodlines are done! I’ve added a page to show my pretty new covers for them, and their titles. Origin Short Stories for Rift Bloodlines When I was writing the Rift Bloodlines series, I was struggling a bit with motivations around the characters’ wounds and how it stopped them from wanting to connect to with their mates. To try to help me cement it in my mind,

My 2023 Projects

My 2023 projects were pretty simple to pick. All Rift Bloodlines books, and compiling Ernie. The question is, will I have enough time to finish the books? Rift Bloodlines Book 1 – Buried by Earth Book 1 of the Rift Bloodlines series is the one that is the furthest along of of the first three in the series. Right now I am finishing up the final proof before I send it to my copy editor.

My Writing in Numbers 2022

In 2021 I started keeping track of how much time I spent writing, and how many words I got. This really helped when it felt like I wasn’t making progress on anything. It showed that I am moving forward. In 2022 I continued with this process and surprisingly the numbers were similar to last year. So lets get into my Writing in Numbers 2022. Books Published I’d known going into 2022 that I was probably

What I watched, read and played in 2022

Below I’m going to breakdown of what I watched, read and played in 2022. I’ve never tracked anything except what I’ve read in the past, but when I picked Balance as my word of the year, I wanted to get a visual of how much time I spent having fun, and doing things unrelated to writing. The results are fascinating, and it’s going to be interesting to see how it compares to 2023. Books Read

Word of 2022 and picking my 2023 word of the year

In 2022 I set a word of the year – BALENCE. It was all about finding a better split between writing and fun and work. This kind of balance is always going to take work as our lives and needs changed, but by making it my word of the year, I was able to change my routine until I found something worked for me. That’s not to say it would work for everyone, but I

Christmas Movies 2022 watch list update

So, full disclosure, I didn’t quite make it through all my Christmas movies 2022 watch list. Polar express and it’s a wonderful life and not on streaming channels and I did not look soon enough to find when they were on the TV.
