Fantasy author, friend to dragons and cats.
I blog a lighthearted take on the (unpublished) fantasy writer's life, with plenty of cats, dragons, and bad advice, at https://www.asakkalon.com/
I also enjoy coffee, pretty photos, plants, and squirrels (but not all to eat).

I should never work on two novels at the same time.
Oh no! I've almost finished drafting the section of my book I have planned in detail. Tomorrow I have to figure out what happens next.
New blog post: How to write fast(er)
I read three books on writing faster and cherry picked techniques from them to try to increase my drafting output. Here’s how it’s going so far.
While I'm drafting, I've set myself a daily word count goal. It's current 1500, and I plan to gradually increase it as I build my writing stamina. Let's see how this goes!
