I am excited to announce something that we have never done before: a bonus Blood Magic episode!
Weekly Writing Update
Mediocre. That is how I would describe my writing this week.
Schlock Mercenary Study
When I noticed recently that he had officially finished the comic, I decided to give it another try, and this time I got through it. I got through all of it, one comic at a time, twenty years’ worth of them. It is epic scale storytelling in a short, web comic format.
Weekly Writing Update
ow are we concluding another month already? That means I really need to get serious about finishing revisions to Trust but Verify and writing Drive On.
Blood Magic S3:E7: A Matter of Facts Release
Arval is building a flying machine. That’s the plot, such as it is, of A Matter of Facts, one of the lightest episodes of Blood Magic in the whole series.
A Common Mythos
I came across this essay recently on "The Power of Our New Pop Myths," which makes the argument that franchise-based storytelling in the style of Star Wars or Marvel is popular because it fulfils the same societal needs that have historically been filled by religious storytelling.
Blood Magic Extra: The Blood Decrees
As I was working on writing Noble Child, I started thinking in more detail about the oft-mentioned Blood Decrees, and I decided that it would be helpful for me to actually write down what they are.
Weekly Writing Update
I finished revisions on neither Trust but Verify nor Rest for the Weary, which were my major writing goals for the week. While I made a good start on Drive On, it isn't enough to compensate for not completing those revisions like I intended.
The Rats in the Walls Review
Having read it, I can appreciate it as a truly well-crafted story in its own right, and while “enjoyable” may not be the right word, I’m glad that I read it, and not just because it illustrates points and techniques that might help me hone my craft.
Weekly Writing Update
Another productive writing week focused almost completely on Blood Magic.
