This is a Gallowglas Sabotage - the official cocktail of the #GallowglasArmy at #LTUE. It contains just a hint of dangerous burn under blackberry sweetness.

This is a Gallowglas Punch - the official #GallowglasArmy mocktail of @ltuesymposium.bsky.social #LTUE. Mike the Bartender never fails to amaze.

Landed in SLC! #gallowvant

I have my row to myself! #Gallowvant

Overheard on my flight... Mother to her YOUNG daughter, "No. I am not getting you a bloody Mary." #gallowvant

Boarding my flight to SLC! #Gallowvant

Starting a new thing at events. I'll write the first sentence of a story, and people who sign up at the Gallowglas Army website will get to add the next sentence... BUT... They only get to see the previous sentence! After the event, I'll post it. This first one is at @ltuesymposium.bsky.social

That may be the fastest I've ever gotten through TSA. Less than 10 minutes. Now plenty of time to chill and write before my flight. @ltuesymposium.bsky.social here I come! #LTUE #GallowglasArmy #gallowvant

Got a new Monday Musing up on my website. mtoddgallowglas.com/monday-musin...

Aaaaaaand.... Just like that... When pondering a completely different story, I have the whole narrative arc of *Halloween Jack and the Violet Tears*! Hopefully, it won't take as long as Halloween Jack and the Red Emperors...

Happy Friday! I've got two new episodes of the Hardcore Fanboy podcast up: www.patreon.com/posts/150111... www.patreon.com/posts/150118...

I have a new 10 For Tuesday up on my website. My top 10 fanboy moments... and... a cool announcement for those few Hardcore Fanboy fans out there. mtoddgallowglas.com/10-for-tuesd...

Just signed a contract with Space Cowboy Books to publish my poem, "A Case Study of Flatline Promises." It's a rant about all the cool stuff the 80's promised me I'd get with this Capitalist Distopia... but didn't.

Aaaand... I believe that makes 35 books published, maybe 36. If all goes well, I'll hit 40 by the end of the year.

Here's my new book, DRAMATURY, Making Magic With Narrative!

My Wednesday office. Wish me luck. I'm having coffee for the first time in over a month.

Diving back into studying Irish!

I'm feeling super shitty with a stomach thing, so I've been looking for ways to distract myself. Decided to look on eBay to see if any of my books are there. Came across this deal right off. If anyone wants a super RARE SIGNED copy of this, I'll cut you a really good deal.

A rambling wrap-up of 2025 mtoddgallowglas.com/wrapping-up-...

Happy New Year's Eve! What's everyone got going in 2026? Plans, schemes, resolutions, shenanigans?

My Final Monday Musing of 2025 mtoddgallowglas.com/final-monday...

Anyone going to AWP want to split a hotel room or AirBNB?

I'm about to do a potentially HUGE meeting on Zoom! Send good vibes!

Just watched the Supergirl teaser. I'm so here for it.

Throwback Thursday: A Journey into Fantasy mtoddgallowglas.com/throwback-th...

Looks like I might be doing another pub show this spring!

I have a new Monday Musing up on the website! mtoddgallowglas.com/monday-musin...

New Blog Post mtoddgallowglas.com/musing-shaki...

Through this weekend, I've unlocked annual memberships for my Patreon at a 10% discount. You will also qualify for *Halloween Jack and the Red Emperors* depending on your support level.

Calling it now... At some point in my lifetime, we're going to have a presidential debate between AOC and MTG.

4 years self-harm free.

Tonight I wrap up the "Beginnings" module on my writing livestream. I'll be deconstructing the first couple of paragraphs from 4 stories submitted by viewers.

Heading off to the Kearney Park Renaissance Faire. Hope I see some of you there!

My Wednesday office

Remember kids... Guy Fox was a religious nut job.

Last week's premiere was awesome. I deconstructed 4 opening sentences to show what they did right and used those examples on how to elevate each one to the next level. This week, I'm doing it again, only with the 1st three sentences of each submission. Hope you'll join me. www.twitch.tv/mgallowglas

I have decided on my next tattoo.

I still have a slot or two open for tonight's livestream. Send me your story openings to show you how to take them from good to great!

Tuesday nights are back. For the next few weeks, we'll be talking about beginnings. So, send your story beginnings to [email protected], and let me show you how to take your writing from good to great.

New work in progress!

At the Monday office, hard at work on my next book on writing: Dramaturgy - Making Magic With Narrative. #amwriting

Doing a little work at Pitch and Fiddle today. One of the owners just told me that the show on Saturday was the best they've ever done on a Saturday at that time. Thanks to everyone who came out to support me and the venue!

BARD for LIFE is back! And we're back where we truly belong. It's been over a year since our last show, and six years since we've done a pub show!

At Handford Ren Faire. Forgot my boots and corkscrew. Luckily, an old friend has a spare pair of boots for me to borrrow. whew.

Really weird not seeing the journal with Halloween Jack 3 in my bag. That's gonna take some getting used to.

Perfect is the enemy of good. Good is the enemy of finished. -Gallowlgas

I'm sick. Entertain me. Lift my spirits. Be silly. Suggest shows. Rant about something obscure. Anything for a momentary distraction.

I was today years old when I learned the character Zorro was inspired by an Irishman, William Lambert.

Okay... KPop Demon Hunters was pretty good.

Another week, another Be Awesome Wednesday. What acts of awesome have you committed today?
