I’ve finally been getting some inspiration to get going on the next installment of the Archetype series – The Dragon. (Lovingly codenamed Russian Guyovitch.) Pictured here is my plotting sheet, before I start filling it out with events (so there are no spoilers, haha). I like having titles for each of my three acts, which, … Continue reading

impending doom
Hi. The world turns, the stars burn, and I’m nearing the end of a two-year endeavor and the beginning of something much scarier – releasing my fledgling brainspawn into the ether.

chaos pages
The primordial word soup I was talking about a couple posts ago has a name – chaos pages. This is my new way of sketching out a scene. It feels really right. Right now I’m working on chaos pages for the opening of R+S. I don’t want to introduce too many characters too quickly, but … Continue reading
