Over the past few months, I’ve been spending a lot of time experimenting with AI writing and finding ways to incorporate it into my writing process. The goal so far has been twofold: I’ve accomplished both of those things, but I can’t hit them consistently without burning out. Writing with AI has proven key to… Continue reading Writing and Publishing Plans moving forward

Back from Coeur d’Alene
It occurs to me that most of my posts in the past month have either been extremely doom-and-gloom, or they’ve been excerpts from some of my most recent work. This probably gives the impression that I’m huddled in a corner somewhere, black-pilled and traumatized, and seeking some sort of an escape through my writing, when… Continue reading Back from Coeur d’Alene
Where have I been?
So it’s been almost two weeks since I last posted anything, including any of the half-dozen or so short stories I’ve listened to that I feel are worth sharing. What’s going on? We did just have a new baby less than two months ago, though that’s not been as disruptive to everything as I expected.… Continue reading Where have I been?
We have a new baby!
So the reason I haven’t posted anything here in a little over a week is because we had a new baby! This one is our second, and he’s our first baby boy. Unlike the last time, when Mrs. Vasicek went into labor around 7:30 PM and the baby was born in the early hours of… Continue reading We have a new baby!
I suppose I should post something here
So it’s been more than a week since my last post. Don’t worry, I’m still around: it’s just that this blog is always the first ball to drop when I need to get things going. The post-holiday season was actually harder on us in a lot of ways than the holiday season itself, with insomnia,… Continue reading I suppose I should post something here
Quick update
So I was going to post the next blog post in the Grand Conspiracy series today, but this week between Christmas and New Year’s has been unusually hectic for us. Long story short, both of my families (extended in-laws and my own extended family) are in town, so I’ve been juggling family obligations between the… Continue reading Quick update
“Hell From Beneath” by J.M. Wight
I’ve been working on this short story for a while now, and the rough draft is finally finished… but I feel like it needs some work. This will likely be the final story in the first Zedekiah Wight anthology, but the story ends on quite a downer—in fact, the whole story itself is kind of… Continue reading “Hell From Beneath” by J.M. Wight
Quick Update Post
It’s been a while since I posted to this blog. I had planned to keep a regular twice-a-week posting schedule, then went a little more than that for about a month before falling out of the routine. We just got back home from a family road trip, where we drove out to Omaha and back… Continue reading Quick Update Post
Post-Christmas Update
Christmas was great! My parents came over from Iowa on the train, and stayed with us for a few days. My wife’s brother also came down from the Salt Lake area. He has a bazillion board games, so we had a ton of fun playing with him. Before I had kids, I never really got… Continue reading Post-Christmas Update
