Cool Stuff Friday 02-13-15

Happy Friday the 13th! The only remaining holiday that Hallmark doesn’t have a card for (please don’t disabuse me if I am wrong)! It’s Mary Robinette Kowal’s birthday and she’s giving us gifts! Read her novelette here. Lifehacker found a tool called Twine that lets you create your own Choose Your Own Adventure stories. And […]

Cool Stuff Friday

Seen a couple of cool things this week. Firstly, the hilarious Who the F is My D&D Character: http://whothefuckismydndcharacter.com/ Second, play 2400 old school DOS games in your browser: https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_msdos_games And when you really need to stop procrastinating and get back to work: http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/lifehacker/vip/~3/pHVTla_YPP8/forcedraft-doesnt-let-you-quit-writing-until-you-hit-yo-1678244018

In Honor of May the 4th

So It Begins

So I’ve decided that sometimes I just want to write stuff. And dammit if I’m going to support a whole ‘nother blog for that like an idiot when I’ve got this nice and juicy one right here to use. So sometimes, I might post some things that aren’t exactly book-related. It’s my blog, after all. […]

The Urban Fantasy Zodiac – What’s Your Sign?

So I was sitting here thinking about how I’ve seen a lot lately about the Chinese zodiac and how it’s the Year of the Dragon.
