You hopefully saw September's Blood Magic episode, Drive On, go live this past Friday. I also finished revising Dragon's Hoard and submitted that story to September's Elegant Literature contest earlier this week.
A Constant State of Anxiety?
The human mind is an astonishingly, perhaps incomprehensibly complicated entity, and there is absolutely a capacity for it to malfunction; however, the only tool we have to diagnose it is...the human mind, which is as fallible as it is amazing.
Blood Magic S3:E9: Drive On Release
Nothing truly Earth-shattering happens in this story. Oh, there’s the magic Gruordvwrold rocks, which might show up again, and we get to see some of Evry’s scheming, but this episode is meant to stand alone and just be an adventure that happens.
Six Great Dialogues Review
As my wife and I noted while I was reading this, it's a good thing that my voice has a magical ability to put people to sleep, because otherwise my tendency to engage in Socratic-style arguments would probably have people force-feeding me hemlock.

In school, you were probably taught three types of essays: narrative essays, expository essays, and persuasive essays.
Weekly Writing Update
I made some progress on revisions to Principles, which I intend to finish next week (that’s October’s episode), and I did a preliminary revision on Dragon’s Hoard, which I will be submitting to a contest next week.
The Well of Ascension Review
If you haven’t already ready Mistborn: The Final Empire, then I suggest that you read that book before reading this review for its sequel, since I’m not sure that I can completely avoid spoilers for the first book in my review for the second.
Intergalactic Update 2022
Change, that inevitable symptom of all-consuming entropy, that will only stop when entropy wins its final victory, is afoot. It doesn't always feel like it, but IGC Publishing has accomplished a lot in the past year, and I'm looking forward to even more in the year ahead.
Marriage in Speculative Fiction
Love and marriage, as the Frank Sinatra song tells us, go together like a horse and carriage, and while I by no means desire to disparage the institute, that might be a problem when it comes to writing speculative fiction.
Weekly Writing Update
A decent writing week to report this week, hampered by more time than I expected spent on revisions.
