The Blog Thingy:
Where Emotion and Information are Dispersed Inconsistently... Sometimes

Picture
Every so often, Drake and I will post little tidbits about the things we think, books and short stories we've read and listened to, and tips and tricks about our writing process and other informational and emotional stuff.

Posts are organized chronologically, with the most recent posts appearing at the opening page of each category.  You can click on the "previous" or "forward" links to jump forward and back within a category.

You will also find social media buttons to share our blog posts on Facebook and Twitter, should you feel so moved.  We would greatly appreciate your sharing of anything you deem worthy.

Feel free to leave a comment or question about each post, if you feel so inclined.  Just click the "comments" link at the bottom of the post to leave a note.  We will reply to each comment within three business days.

This is our blog post directory.  Bookmark this page and return frequently - we add new stuff all the time!
