Black Lives Matter

June 10, 2020 / rjrugroden / Leave a comment

I don't know what to say, but silence will not make a better future for anyone's children. The community is already filled with voices more relevant than mine, but silence will not make a better future for anyone's children. There is much miscommunication when it comes to words and I must act, but also, silence … Continue reading Black Lives Matter

I propose a fake commute

May 21, 2020May 19, 2020 / rjrugroden / Leave a comment

Dear Readers, Isolation means not actually spending lots of time at my desk, calmly looking through my imagination scope at the world, with a mug contentedly nestled between my hands that are mostly covered in a chunky knit sweater. I wish it was more like that. Instead, I find myself often drinking leftover cold tea from … Continue reading I propose a fake commute

Hi, I'm back! Life has been oh so full, and lots of fun, so as usual, I haven't posted here. To the updates! I have finished draft 3 of the second book in the Memory Aether series and it is currently with Beta readers.

New Family Member and 2019 Books

January 7, 2020 / rjrugroden / Leave a comment

Meet Penny, our new puppy, who is a lab-hound mix. She is just the sweetest! We couldn’t be happier. I honestly didn’t know the level of happiness dog owners have, and now that I know, I really wish I would have gotten a dog sooner. The hassle and commitment it requires is all worth it. … Continue reading New Family Member and 2019 Books

Spoiler-free Character Sketch: Alexia Sullivan

September 10, 2019 / rjrugroden / Leave a comment

Alexia was a character born out of a desire to create someone quickly and throw her into a world that I had already created. In the five years that I spent working on Memory Aether, she has transcended being defined by the world building around her and has taken on a life of her own. … Continue reading Spoiler-free Character Sketch: Alexia Sullivan

A Few Interesting Curations

August 19, 2019 / rjrugroden / Leave a comment

People both hate and love Pinterest. Some pay hundreds of dollars to learn how to use it so they can make a living pinning things for others (tempting). While some readers of this blog (hi Dad) have no idea how to even use it or why it might be helpful. My take on it: it's … Continue reading A Few Interesting Curations

Hey friends, sorry I just kind of skipped July there for a moment. Two quick things: I have started writing Memory Aether 2 (hence the lack of updates) and am about a third of the way through. There is so much stuff in this second book everyone, it's going to be quite the read when … Continue reading MA2 Update and Spec Fic Showcase

Remember Good Things

May 22, 2019May 17, 2019 / rjrugroden / Leave a comment

Hi friends. Spring and summer are coming and leaving at the same time, getting tangled up in each other! One day it's almost 80ºF, the next it's rainy and dropped to 37ºF. But my favorite thing about this time of year is the tree in our front yard. I'm not even sure what kind of … Continue reading Remember Good Things
