They are making SO MUCH FAN ART.

One of the greatest joys is watching players make fan art and fanfiction over the original characters you wrote. Like building a friend or a voice to the players searching for someone to understand and implicitly feel as though they are understood.

First time getting sinusitis. I have never hated my nose more.

The Bear is a perfect show. It fully rewired my brain.

Did this with The Grand Eggspress and gotta say it's been doing wonders for my writerly wherewithal.

one of the first proper reviews I ever received (by christian donlan) is framed on my wall, and it makes me smile every time I see it 💕

Shipped Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress with Studio Koi Koi as Lead Narrative Designer, Lead Game Writer, and Cutscene Designer last month. My notion is plastered with fan art and found eight new ride or dies on the dev team. Entirely over the moon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY4t...

Shipping is a roller coaster, but after launching is where you realize that you have had a weeks long crash coming.

Oh, you should maybe buy my book, and if you have already, don't forget leave a review somewhere 😊

One of the things that, as lead writer, I had to bang into the head of senior leadership sometimes was that writers were not interchangeable even within a project. One writer knew a certain companion inside and out. When we lost that writer, a new writer coming in took twice as long to do the work.

Hey, so, I was so angry today that, for once, I blogged it instead of posting about it. Games media, especially mainstream games media, cannot keep abdicating responsibility in how it talks about these things an-evening-at-the-inn.ghost.io/video-game-s...

Who me? Don't mind me. These giggles are completely spontaneous. Me laughing like Angela Girratana is completely uninspired. Me chortling like the Gerber baby is completely off the cuff. Me twerking my tuckus over an imaginary casket is just my gasket. Nothing in the news has me this gleeful. Nope.

It's strange how much my writing practice has been set free by allowing myself to be a beginner. I've been doing some light sketching recently - nothing fancy, just basic exercises - and reevaluating how I approach the page has prompted me to leave my ego behind. My letters have quite liked it.

When is gay hope month?

You write and you write and you wrote and you worry you are beaten. Then you look back 8 years and go, "oh no, my best writing is behind me." Then you look back 3 years and go, "oh, no it isn't." And then what do you do but keep writing? Blind, on faith, towards a place you can't yet describe.

I know I'm late to the game, but Frieren, Dungeon Meshi, and Witch Hat Atelier brighten my week way more than I can justify.

If you have an IG carousel with dozens of LGBTQ+ fantasy books coming out in 2026, I’m BEGGING you to include a queer dude author. Like… how do you not have even one?!

One of the hardest + most important things to learn as a creative. Stop waiting to make your “opus” — keep going, get better

I think the greatest trick for getting good at creative work i know is - finish making as many mediocre things as possible. Just finish stuff, again and again. Share it or don’t, but put a bow on it, put it aside, make the next thing, repeat.

Write for your people, not your ego.

Writers: what’s a solid piece of *craft* advice you wish you’d known sooner? Mine is this: when making writing decisions, always stop and ask yourself what is best for the SCENE. What are the scene’s goals? Does this sentence, this paragraph, this line of dialogue serve those goals? If not, fix it.

Write for your people, not your ego.

A professor once told me that in casual book clubs with her non-writer friends their discussion always focused on how everyone felt about a story’s plot and characters. By contrast, in reading groups with her writing and English lit peers, they focused on structure, theory, line construction, etc.

Don't be afraid to be seen trying.

Weird how much my mental health radically improved in the last 4 months. Oh. That's right. I started getting paid for my labor. Yeah. That is a relief.

Professor Xavier is calling in a favor you owe him and is asking if you can teach one summer course to the kids at the institute in a subject of your own choosing or you can spin something new. It can be on any topic he just wants to give them a break from mutant courses. What are you doing?

Saw Project Hail Mary last week. This has got to be the second movie in six months I've thought about at least for 5 minutes a day for 5 days straight.

My favorite part of Wicked: For Good is when my husband leans over and whispers, “So she’s entering her Mad Queen era?” Absolutely stunning line read
