Another NANOWRIMO has come and gone, leaving carnage in its wake. Many times throughout the brutal battle I considered raising my tattered white flag. Who in their right mind thought challenging writers to create on a consistent basis for THIRTY DAYS straight during THE BUSIEST HOLIDAY SEASON of the YEAR was a good idea? Did […]

Happy Turkey Day!
Tis the season to gather with family and friends, while indulging in whatever feast you desire. In the past, we’ve done the traditional bird with all its accoutrements, changed it up with lasagna, and even gone full tilt with tamales (a little early in the season for some, but IMO every day is tamale day). […]

Welcome to part deux of CONJURING MISERY’s Chapter 10. Last heard, Jami was chasing the marauding word wranglers across the word strewn plains of NANO. As far as we can tell, she’s still on track to be back on 12/1, definitely battered, bloodied, and certifiably half crazed. To help you pass the time, we give you the […]

Alrighty, CONJURING MISERY is mosing on up early, pardners. Jami is currently engaged in the Great NANO War of 2016. She’ll be back live on 12/1, battered, bloodied, and probably half crazed, but she’ll be here with a status update.

It’s NANO time, peeps and we’re a whopping two days in. How’s everyone doing with their word counts? You nailing that 1667 a day thing? You are? Good for you! I’m right there with you, toiling away one word at a time. I figured this would be a good time to share a few survival […]

Yes sir, we’re on our asses trotting in the direction indicated by our grisly Hand of Glory on the hunt for the wicked witch of the west. Saddle up and join, Sam, Snake, and Smoke for another rousing round of CONJURING MISERY. (Brought to […]

It’s coming down the pike like a flaming bowling ball of despair and agony–NANOWRIMO! The dreaded month of words guaranteed to send every (to use Chuck Wendig’s moniker) Pen Monkey screaming into the treetops. For those who remain blissfully ignorant of the ruthlessly sadistic reality of Nanowrimo (Nano for those poor mutilated souls left battered […]

Winter is coming! Do you know how I, a desert dweller, can tell? The temperatures have dropped to double digits. Add in the fact that I work at a University where students have the most curious modes for dressing (bundled in sweater and scarf on top, Bermuda shorts and flip-flops on bottom) and I can […]

We’re back with the following to last week’s Chapter 8 of CONJURING MISERY, the creative efforts of Dave Benneman, Camille Douglass, and Jami Gray in producing a combination UF/Western serial… Snake Well damn and double damn.
