Of course you do.
And how were they?

It’s a rare and wonderful thing when one can say they get to work with people both talented and kind. Working on @thekillingstone.com has been one of those rare experiences. Thanks to Liam from all of us @questiongames.bsky.social for making our Mephistopheles come to life.

I’ve been having far too wicked a time working on this of late. If you want to hear the devil at your ear, give it a spin. Demo just dropped on Steam. 😈

One of my favorite things about our new game are the creatures that live on the battle line. Our artists and animators were just incredible. Look at this little guy - his name is "Sacred Vessel." He may not look like much of a warrior, but he's incredibly fun to play. #cardbattles #steamnextfest

Heartfelt thanks to @rcmacleod.bsky.social for the review of "The Killing Stone" demo. All of us @questiongames.bsky.social are so proud of this game. We can't wait to release the full version early next year.

How do we measure the impact of one life upon another? What if you never meet? What if one person never knows the other exists? Can we still reach through the ether and improve of another person's day? Year? Yes. Yes we can. Thank you David Lynch. You made my life richer.

I haven't been on Bluesky as you can tell! I'll find Lizzie. I'd love to follow her. My hope is that I'll have the stamina for social media shenanigans (or rather that my feed will keep the noise of society to a minimum and maximize all my book nerds).

Greetings fellow narrative nerds! I've officially abandoned X, though I metaphorically abandoned it back when the blue bird flew away.

I'll try to track down my #bookcommunity and #litmags, but if you recognize me, come say hi!

This is heady company. My essay in @NarrativeMag is falling in the ranks, but it’s giving way to such wonderful stories. Every one worth the read.

Guns and America. It’s a polarizing topic. This essay was conceived during my 2015 road trip after passing through Lawton, Oklahoma. It’s an honor to have it published by Narrative Magazine.

“Also, the English language is total chaos. It’s a flock of birds drunk on berries flying into an airplane turbine. Good luck divining narrative truth from the spray of blood and feathers, everyone.”

I feel this.

Hello! I wrote a thing. About writers! For writers? Or maybe to... explain writers?? I don't know, but here it is.

Forgive The Writers, For We Are So Tired

I said it a little while ago, but it bears repeating: being a writer right now is both weird and worrisome. And in the short time since I wrote that other thing, it’s only gotten weirder and …

Did someone say it’s #InternationalCatDay?

Participating in another Microfiction contest today. @WritingBattle has the craziest (read: most fun) prompts. I’m taking a break, stretching, pausing to appreciate “Roxy” - one of my oldest blooming orchids.

I’m going to call this clickbait. No conscious human being could still believe RAISING emissions is in anyway favorable, let alone ethical. Clickbait. It’s gotta be, right?

May I just say how happy it makes me to see your face in my feed! Social media has felt like a wasteland for months. You’re like a flicker of light on the horizon.

I love all readers. All writers. Whatever lights you up, do that thing.

SE Daniels @soyoused.bsky.social · Aug 5

This is way questionable ethically. It opens the door for so much exploitation. I’m sorry this happened to you and really disappoint in WotC. It was founded by artists and writers who would despise these kinds of corporate shenanigans.

This is why the WGA is still on strike. Companies cannot be allowed to retroactively assume the rights to plagiarize their own employees work. This makes my stomach churn. The audacity.

- April Prime - @april-prime.bsky.social · Aug 5

I feel so genuinely betrayed by WotC allowing an artist to use AI as part of their process for interior art in the most recent DnD book. Having concepts I worked on ran through a scraping program and turned into slop isn't really how I wanted to spend August.
