February Update
Well. So, 2017 is certainly starting off interesting. I'll save the politics for a specific post sometime. I imagine that most of you who keep up with me in the real world and online know my political leanings, so it won't surprise anyone to know that I'm not enjoying the new regime. Now, I'd love…

WorldCon and Inkshares
Oif. It’s been a busy couple of months here in the Swanson household. First, with the initial excitement of the Inkshares fantasy contest, then with the even bigger excitement of my first WorldCon. Both of these endeavors were stabs at kickstarting my writing career…and neither has gone off quite as well as I hoped it…

I need your help to publish Impervious!
This is something of a flash update, since I’m still busily finishing the second draft of Impervious. Thankfully, that’s coming right along and I’m nearing completion on it. I’m going to finish chapter 38 tonight or tomorrow, then keep on pushing right through till WorldCon. The real reason for this post though, is that Inkshares…

WorldCon or bust!
Heya folks. I’ve been a little lax in posting last month. This is mostly by design, since I’m in the middle of a two month push to finish the second draft of Impervious. I’m doing pretty good so far. I’ve gotten about five more chapters finished, with an unknown number left. But I’m coming up…

Monthly update – WordkeeperAlpha & Impervious
Greetings fellow nerds. I write to you tonight from the comfort of my own home, drinking a nice Blue Moon Belgian Ale and listening to the new Nightwish album, Shudder Before the Beautiful. Truly, life is good. However, life has not been entirely productive this month. Mid-month writing progress is kind of disappointing, as is…

I am not my word count
… my story however… That’s a different … story … thing. You know what I mean. Tonight is a writing night, a night I’ve specifically set aside for the writing of words and the making of stories. Only writing is hard some nights. I know I’m not alone on this. Other authors get a…

The Second Draft
My thirty thousand word month didn’t really come together like I’d hoped it would. My goal is to write everyday, but I’m much better writing in spurts than I am writing regularly. Having my own motivational program is helping, but it is also a bit damning when I look back on the month and see…

2015: Kicking in your door.
This is the annual blog post where I resolve to do things, to better myself as a human being. The problem with resolutions, is they tend to get left by the wayside as the year wears on and different problems take precedence. Or maybe that’s just for me. Still, its good to have goals, and…

2014 in Review
I don’t know about you, but its been a pretty good year in House Swanson. We went to Phoenix Comic-con and had a blast with the Edge of December crew, despite the state being filled to the brim with creatures whose only purpose is to kill. I’m not even talking about the con attendees. I…

NaNoWriMo 2014 Postmortem
Well, ladies and gentleman, November is over and its time to look back upon it and gaze upon my fine works. Courtesy of WordKeeperAlpha here is how I did this month! Final word count for the month was 24438 words, just about half of the required 50,000. Do I feel bad? Maybe a little, but…
