Writing excuses
I’ve been told I raise procrastination to an art form. Well, actually no, nobody’s ever said that, but I’ll get them to someday. More seriously, while I’ve been definitely doing more creation, I think a lot of it was getting some of the muscle back. And that’s not to say this is going to waste! […]
Thordani terms and sayings
One part that’s fun about writing is coming up with terms and sayings. Here’s a few from the Thordani.
Breathtaking
In the past, I did a lot of research on US WWII submarines.

The bird in the glass
So a bit ago I discussed how I came by the “Arrow” name, and how I feel it defines me more. But a name is…well, just a word without an association. When you think your best friend’s name, you see their face, or perhaps a memory of them. And for most people, that’s fine. But […]
