To Penumbra
I have always loved secret things. Forgotten basements and attics full of dusty boxes, tucked away and neglected; old uncared for relics sent to the thrift shop or the dump and regarded as mere clutter; things hidden in the walls or under the floorboard, things left and forgotten, never meant to be rediscovered. These sorts of things all have a story of their own, a story that can't be told, but only unraveled.

How to Start Blacksmithing for Under $50
Will Turner, from The Pirates of the Caribbean. Whenever I try to think of a blacksmith, he's the one who comes to mind. And man, does he have a nice shop.

Writing Your First Book
It is done. The decision has been made. You're going to write a book and there's no doubt it's going to be great. And so you saunter downstairs to the family computer a little bit later, after everyone else has gone to bed, notebook tucked under your arm, questions zipping about to and fro in your head.

A Good Pen
The mental image is one we all know well: a writer, sitting in a study, surrounded by mounds of books and hastily scrawled upon pages tacked onto the walls, with perhaps a cat, coffee, or even an overflowing ashtray thrown in, bent over a notebook, hand jammed into thick hair.

The Struggles of the Modern WriterTop Story - November 2017
When I was younger, ideas of being a middle-school author floating about in my head between worries about my terrible grades and just how I was to build a fort in a backyard so small and close to other houses, I thought about how lucky I was.
