Last week, I had the pleasure of presenting a talk at AdventureX called 'How To Position Your Game Like A Pro'.
Positioning is something we all do instinctively regardless of whether we have the vocabulary for it.

Made an especially tall and robust lasagna in a loaf pan yesterday, highly recommend. It was like eating a cheesy, tomato-y cube.

Earlier this year, I was in a creative funk so I illustrated and wrote a poetic analog character creator called Exquisite Corpse.
With rolls of the die, you'll make a unique character with their own verse.

Hey! I’m sorry if things are tough right now. Seems that way for a lot of very kind and hardworking people. Please don’t forget that you are loved, and that the one constant of life is change 💛✨

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.
This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.

If you attended or plan to watch my AdventureX talk on positioning, here's a thread with some supplementary thoughts:
You can easily use this framework to position yourself. Like I said in the talk, if you don't take control, you will be positioned whether you like it or not...

I woke up at 11:30am and then had a mild panic thinking I'd forgotten my iPad back at the hotel until my partner had found it on the sofa (I was not wearing glasses). Anyway, good afternoon everyone 🥴

Things to say when joining a circle of people:
• “We now have the perfect number of people for a blood sacrifice.”
• “Quick, there’s someone after me, pretend to be my friends!”
• Stare balefully at someone and regretfully inform them that they have the mark, then leave.

Had to disappear from AdventureX early because my journey home is going to take twice the time, but it was incredible.
The organisers at @adventurex.bsky.social have done an incredible job curating a jam packed schedule, games all while maintaining a friendly, welcoming vibe!

AdventureX so far…
- ill-advised karaoke session the night before my talk
- seeing so many wonderful friends
- making NEW lovely friends
- brilliant talk by THE Guybrush Threepwood (Dominic Armato)
- 1st time meeting my Limit Break mentor IRL
And I also gave a talk and everyone was very nice to me.

I think "fake it til' you make it" is genuinely a great bit of advice but people (understandably!) think it means "lie until you've duped everyone" when in reality it's much more "act like you belong here because you actually do and you need to get over yourself"

One curious thing that helped me a lot in my freelance career is knowing a lot of other freelancers.
Being able to tell people "I'm not the most suitable person for this, but I know a guy/gal/pal who is" is a great way to present yourself as reliable and considerate, which'll take you very far
