It’s Reader Question Monday. We might have to do a Reader Question Wednesday as well, as we received many questions about Amazon and digital ownership. You mentioned in the introduction that you usually publish a scene but this time would publish a full chapter. It made me wonder if, when planning a book, you explicitly

It’s Hughday Again! Chapter 3
Thank you for kind comments and support this week. Usually we post scene by scene, but today we will do the whole chapter. Hugh stepped out of the woods and started up the road to Baile. The old castle rose atop the low hill like some ancient fort built by a Norman knight intent on

Kindle USB, The Price of Books, and Other Things
It is freezing here in Texas. We had a 40 degree temperature drop, and now we are sitting at 24 degrees. You know my prayer. Hold, grid, hold. The Price of Printed Books Is it true that the price of printed books will rise? Yes. Most of the books are printed in China or on

Stupid Rubbish
Update: Thank you so much for all of your support, guys. You are genuinely awesome and kind people. We are both lucky to know you. We finished the scene, it worked out well, so we are going to keep going and hopefully will stay on track for Friday. There was a post here about something

The Coziest Keyboard Ever
I built the coziest keyboard ever. You might remember that earlier I was looking for a better keyboard. Whenever I searched for a keyboard, I always ended up with the gaming keyboards. HyperX. Razer. Black, lots of RGB, that type of thing. I’ve tried ergonomic keyboards, I’ve tried unorthodox keyboards, I’ve tried a lot of

Chapter 2 Part 2
The lavender was dying. Elara surveyed the wilted stalks, with drooping leaves and sagging buds. There were five main causes of lavender wilt: overwatering, underwatering, poor drainage, not enough light, and too much heat. None of it applied. They had grown lavender in this greenhouse for years. Next to her Jean Bradshaw twisted her hands. A

A Happy Cardigan
Despite my best efforts, I finally managed to make a cardigan. I bought this really cute yarn last year. This is Rainbows and Airwaves from Bad Sheep Yarn. It is a gorgeous yarn, so I wanted to make a fun cardigan with it. I usually make stuff for the kids, but I wanted something for

Eternal Strands
If you liked roleplaying computer games in the early 2000s, you knew that Bioware was synonymous with cool games. The studio started out as a Canadian game developer and made some awesome things. Baldur’s Gate. Mass Effect. Dragon Age. Eventually they were bought by EA and went downhill. Apparently, the latest Dragon Age, Veilguard, sold

Happy Hughday!
I know that the previous post was Chapter 2 Part 1 but it actually should be Chapter 1 part 3. Chapter 2 Part 1 Druidism was a strange religion, Hugh reflected. He stood on the edge of the hollow, his arms crossed. Around him the woods were waking up. Golden sunshine spilled from the early

A Dirty Betrayal
Not long ago, I made this blanket for Kid 2. It was made with Stylecraft DK yarn. I don’t really care for acrylic normally. If you ever felt a skein of Red Heart, it’s rough and scratchy and it kills my hands. But Stylecraft, although it is acrylic, is buttery soft, cloud-like, and shiny, and

It’s Hughday!
Hey guys. Do you remember when I said this in a blog post? So, for the foreseeable future, we are going to have something fun here on Friday. Something that will give you a break from the constant stress and daily grind. For now, it’s Hughday. Some Fridays, it might be something else. What this

Wait, Is It Hughday Again?
Is it a serial? No. It’s going slow, and we are having to backtrack, so it is probably not suitable for serialization. However, people are really stressed. We are seeing an uptick in “My emotions are frayed right now, and the snippets are helping” messages. The political ban is still in effect, so Mod R
