- 2017-04-26 Federated Opinions - I'm been thinking about trust and relationships on the Internet, specifically social networking and news. Here is one possible approach to handle it.
- 2017-04-25 Violence, Mutual Destruction, Midnight Flight, Pacifism, and Sand and Bone 28 - Over the last few months, I've brought up the words that Gichyòbi had said about how he was encouraged to save Rutejìmo from violence. This same encouragement was one (but not the only) reason that Mikáryo took pity on him back in Sand and Blood. Well, this chapter is why that aspect of the world came into place, all of those ideas and little bits paved the way for this chapter.
- 2017-04-18 Idle Thoughts, Worn Ideas, The Choice, and Sand and Bone 27 - I've thought a lot about my master plot, the different threads and stories that weave together into where I'm going. Even thought Sand and Bone is a single point-of-view novel, it is part of a master plot that I hope to see some day. I'm just doing it novel-by-novel instead o scene-by-scene. However, there is a drawback of thinking about stories too much and I'm afraid of burning out the idea before it can be pried out of my skull.
- 2017-04-11 Death Marches; Burnout; Publication Status; Sand and Blood v3; Sand and Bone 26 - There are moments in life when everything wears you down and you don't think you can move forward. This week, Rutejìmo is experiencing one of those moments as he focuses on burning a body before continuing his journey. I also talk about how the same death march has affected me in my life. Finally, a status update on the Sand and Bone publication process.
- 2017-04-05 Losing Wars; Rites of Passage; Information Overload; Sand and Bone 25 - This week, I write a little bit about the history of Wamifūko, their shattered mountain that used to be a fortress, and their rites of passage. There is also a question about world-building and these weekly posts. Finally, Sand and Bone gets into chapter 25 as Rutejìmo has to escape the city to burn the body of his wife's mother.
