On Anthologies

March 3, 2019 by James Young

So there was a discussion on a fellow author’s Facebook about anthologies.  While I wasn’t going to add to my long “to do” stack, Cedar Sanderson felt strongly enough about the issue to put together a great post about the topic, while Dorothy Grant also gave her views on the topic.

Humanitarian Assistance and the Navy

October 29, 2018 by James Young

So for USNI’s General Essay Contest last year, I posited that maybe the United States Navy should develop purpose built vessels for disaster relief.  While I did not place, they liked the article well enough to put it on the Naval Institute’s Blog.

A Bit of A Miscue

April 26, 2017 by James Young

Contract Law (With Special Guest Amie Gibbons)

January 23, 2017 by James Young

There are certain milestones with every blog.  First post.  100th post.  That post that summons a scribe demon from an alternate dimension and leads to a 30 minute write off where you save humanity at the cost of truly epic carpal tunnel.   Well, two out of three of those have happened on this site.

Write Pack Podcasts

January 22, 2017 by James Young

Writing Tips: Lines and Characters

September 10, 2016 by James Young

I got asked to do a guest blog by Cedar Sanderson for her website.  After reading it, she decided to promote this to The Mad Genius Club, where it is now crossposted.  So, without further ado:   Lines of Departure This blog post actually got started in a conversation about wasp spray.  Yes, that’s right, […]
