What Kickstarter Projects Do You Love to Support?

As we’re gearing things up for our cross-country move, one of my tasks is to sort through everything we’ll need to change our address on, from paperwork to items we pre-ordered months ago. Among those pre-ordered items are various Kickstarter projects we’ve backed, and it got me thinking: what kind of Kickstarter projects do the readers of Three Ravens enjoy supporting? And how far do you go?…

Ever have a "quick fix" take all day?

Yeah, well, that was me today. My wife’s wireless mouse has developed the oh-so-common double-click problem that plagues Logitechs and other mice (Mouses? Mousei? Whatever), so I looked up how to repair it and found a couple of videos showing how to clean the switch contacts to keep that from happening for awhile. Seemed simple enough, so let’s crack that bad boy open and get to it! Dear Lord,…

Shared worlds, worlds of my own, anthology submissions… There’s enough on the stack to keep a writer off the…

Good Habits, Octoberfest, and Writers of the Future!

Do you have any bad habits you’re trying to break, or good habits you’re trying to create? For me, it’s trying to keep up this writing habit of mine. I just passed the three week mark of “Write 2,000 words a day no matter what!” and am happy to report an average of 3,000 words a day with no skipped days at all. Far better than I planned for, and I hope this is the start of a truly ingrained…

Are you ready for more Trailer Park Mayhem?

I sure hope so, because we have one hell of a lineup for “It Came From the Trailer Park” Volume 2! Ya know what’s crazy?

Are you ready for the changing of the seasons?

And where the hell did the month of September go? The last few months have been an absolute blur around here at Raven Central. With the excess amount of extra life stuff on top of Cons, family time, and my own writing time, it’s been freaking packed to the gills. Besides a bit of housekeeping on the site, like updating our titles and open calls, we have a long list of items in the review and…

What Do Your Yearly Goals Look Like?

We’re almost three-quarters of the way through the year, and I’m behind on my writing goals. Way behind, if I’m being completely honest. Life, work, and even more life have all conspired to get in the way, but those are just excuses! I spent a bit of time earlier this week coming up with a realistic daily word count and then used that to schedule out all the books and stories I want or need to…
