Posted on April 1, 2018 by L. Jacob

My aim was to get to 40K by the end of March, but it’m up to 29K at the moment. I’ll probably get up to 30K by today, and then it’s all downhill from there. I took two days off … Continue reading →

Posted on February 18, 2018 by L. Jacob

I had my talk at Mount Pleasant High School. I think I went a little over their heads But I had four good questions that I want to answer here. What inspired you to write gay characters? I played City … Continue reading →

The Loof Festival happened yesterday with the constant threat of rain overhead. The authors had a great spot. I sold 1 Grimaulkin and 2 Homecoming books. Anything is better than zero! A few people asked me if it was in … Continue reading →

Pokemon Go and writing

Posted on July 24, 2016 by L. Jacob

I’ve played a little bit of Pokemon Go, enough to be slightly familiar with the concept. One afternoon I was thinking that Pokemon have a lot to do with writing. First of all, Pokemon Go superimposes itself on reality. That’s … Continue reading →

Preparation

Posted on June 26, 2016 by L. Jacob

War Mage – the muse

Posted on April 29, 2015 by L. Jacob
