This might seem like a little bit of a slow story to some of you, and that’s okay; I don’t want every story to involve a lot of action in the traditional sense.
Weekly Writing Update
Other than a couple of book reviews, that's all of the writing I did for this week. Next week's posts include some thoughts about the polymath concept, and a review for The Dragonbone Chair.
Weekly Writing Update
Despite my digression from Verdon's Tragedy, I did maintain my focus on Blood and Dragons. Aside from a few, finishing touches, I can now say that the first part is complete.
Blood Magic S2:E4: Fallen Angel Re-Release
I think a lot about writing action scenes. I don’t mean action scenes in the literary sense, but action scenes in the sense that probably attracted a lot of us to speculative fiction in the first place, the kinds of action scenes with flashing swords, sparking wands, roaring dragons, and pirouetting starships.
Weekly Writing Update
This was a pretty good week, writing-wise.
Weekly Writing Update
How are we already starting April? That's a disconcerting thought. As you hopefully saw, March's Blood Magic episode, Making Change, is now live, so I encourage you to head over there and read it soon.
Blood Magic S3:E3: Making Change Release
For all that I really enjoyed writing this story, and think that you will enjoy reading it, I don’t have very much to say about it. It’s a simple story, really, introducing Arval and providing a little context and a little conflict.
Weekly Writing Update
I finished Noble Child this week. It clocks in at just a smidgeon over ten thousand words, putting it right in line with an average Blood Magic episode.
Weekly Writing Update
In this third weekly writing update, we'll be talking a little bit about a technique I (try) to use when I come up against a form of writer's block, which I call writing into the next scene.
Blood Magic Season 2: A Look Back
I debated whether I should do a reflections post for season two at all. Since I started doing the release posts, most of the ground that I would cover in such a post is covered in those, instead, and I don’t want to be redundant. While Blood Magic is a major part of IGC Publishing at this point, making up the bulk of its content, I still want to be able to appeal to and attract readers who may not be interested in that particular series. However, I found after I finished the season two finale that I had enough to say about the season as a whole to make this post worth writing. Plus, I try to keep from putting spoilers to the events of the episode in the release posts, so consider this you spoiler warning: I do not intend to be so careful here.
