Lessons Learned from Futurescapes 2021
I had a chance to attend my first Futurescapes Writers’ Workshop this week, and I had a great time. I learned SO much, but I wanted to distill my three biggest takeaways here.

I’m learning how to plan my novels, instead of just winging it, and I’m convinced it’s all to do with genre (for me).
Unrelenting: Finalist in Book Pipeline Unpublished Competition
I’m thrilled to announce that Unrelenting has been named a finalist for the Book Pipeline Unpublished 2020 competition.
Worldbuilding + A Short Story Detour
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the world, society, cultures, races, government, and environment of my WIP. When I switched the IP from Gloomhaven to an original world, I discovered I do NOT have the effortless worldbuilding skills I thought I did!
Changes to my work in progress
Stone Breaker started as a Gloomhaven fanfiction that I hoped to get officially licensed. I finally got up the nerve to pitch the Cephalofair team, and the very next day, I got a very gracious “it’s not a good time for us to consider this” response. No problem, but that left me with a decision.
Gloomhaven Novel Progress
I’m about 15% through the draft of my Gloomhaven novel. Here’s what that means in concrete terms.
Writing in the Coronavirus era
Even though I’ve worked from home for 7 years, I’m finding it hard to focus on creative expression as the Coronavirus rears its head.
It’s Time to Query Unrelenting
