The Booket List: April-May 2013 12 Jun 2013 | 09:13 am
Since I’ve spent much of the last few months writing, I neglected to put up my Booket Lists for both April and May. In addition to the words I was putting down on paper, part of that stems from the fa...
Leveling Up in Writing 29 May 2013 | 05:50 pm
There are quite a few ways that video games are better than real life. For one, there are very few consequences for your actions. Want to eat mushrooms? Snack away, Mr. Plumber. Want to try to defeat ...
Race Days and Writing Days 21 May 2013 | 08:33 am
If you’ll notice the tumbleweeds around these parts, that’s because I’ve spent the last few weeks immersed in The Jimmy Project, my alternate history superhero story about a boy and his feelings. And ...
Smashing Trains: Storytelling as Problem Solving 20 Apr 2013 | 02:55 am
I always hated math. Locking two numbers together in Gladiator-style mortal combat made no sense to me. Who cares about the victor of that bloody conflict, when there are so many cool things that coul...

On Hero Worship and Hard Work 23 Mar 2013 | 01:18 am
It’s always nice when someone you admire says something positive about a thing you did. If you aren’t aware, some time ago my friends and I made a video called Day in the Life of a Turret, which sort ...
Rewriting History and Adding Superkids 20 Mar 2013 | 06:06 pm
The most interesting part of writing The Jimmy Project, my current novel about a superkid raised by the U.S. government, is that it takes place in an alternate Earth, with a history different from our...

First drafts are hard. No, seriously. We pay lip-service to the idea of writing being a finicky, petty and blood-sucking monster, but for real, it can be a killer to try to start a new book. No matter...
