Here’s to the end of the first full week of 2015! It’s been a busy one around here, and you may have missed something, so here’s the week that was in the world of Hugh:
On Sunday, I announced my Page of Awesome writing and podcasting goals for the year.
On Monday, I launched a new article series, The Gamer’s Guide to Writing. We’re starting off with an in depth look at plotting with Final Fantasy IX. You can check out our introduction HERE.
On Tuesday, I reviewed the podcast Wham Bam Pow with Cameron Esposito!
Wednesday saw the release of The Way of the Buffalo Podcast episode 79! Go and have a listen to the short story “The Pen Was Mightier,” by Rish Outfield!
On Thursday, I reviewed “The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl” #1, written by Ryan North and drawn By Erica Henderson!
And of course, there were five new installments of The City: A Story in 140 Characters!
That’s not a bad start to the year, if I do say so myself. Keep this site bookmarked for more free daily content, and if you like what you’re seeing, leave a comment, or support me on Patreon!

Introducing…ME!

It’s about time I introduced myself.
At Balticon last month, I was on a Social Media Promotion panel with the brilliant and talented J. R. Blackwell. Her advice was for authors to introduce themselves once in a while, and while I do have my ‘about’ page, I figured it is about time that I gave it another shot.
Hi, I’m Hugh.
I’m a writer. Mostly the things I write are fantasy or science fiction stories, but sometimes I do other things. I’ve had stories published in Over My Dead Body! The Method to the Madness Anthology, Bards and Sages Quarterly, Every Photo Tells, Air Out My Shorts, and a few other places.
I’ve also published a few short stories electronically.
I’m working on a slightly off-kilter sword and sorcery stories called “The Freelance Hunters.” I have written a handful of novels but I haven’t published any of them because I’m very bad at long form editing.
When I started writing, my goal was to become a SFWA member. I’m not sure what my writing goals are now beyond finishing the next project.
I’m a podcaster. I host and edit The Way of the Buffalo podcast. We read short fiction and interview writers, artists, and podcasters. I meant it to be a showcase for the amazing creative people working in electronic media. I hope that shines through.
I’m in the middle of producing the podcast audio book of The Dark Wife by Sarah Diemer. The project is read by Veronica Giguerre. I’ve taken several hiatuses on this project to learn what the hell I’m doing. Creating an audiobook is very different than making an unrelated short fiction podcast. It’s coming back this summer, but I’m not releasing it until I’m done.
I’m gay, and two years ago I was able to legally marry my husband. Neither of us really planned for a marriage, but having that right recognized makes me feel indebted to the world. I’m trying to stand up for my community more. I’m not always sure I succeed.
I’m 32 years old. This makes me older than my parents age when I was born, and I still don’t feel like an adult yet.
But enough about me. Tell me a little about yourself!
Hugh J. O'Donnell
