pretty boring person, who's surprisingly obsessed with merge and match games. When I'm not playing those, I'm employed as a technical writer, crocheting, baking, or needle felting. Or watching Bake-off.

Just discovered your blog a few months ago. There are very few decent blogs for our industry, and I really appreciate your perspective.

Thankful

I'm a little surprised at how many people have both documentation, fiber arts, AND baking as their interests! It's nice to know I'm not alone!

You know when you have a project at work and you think you finally have a handle on it, then it explodes in scope? Yea, that's me, today. #techwriting

I think I'm getting much closer. Melting the butter is definitely a good move. But I don't think I need the vanilla, and I think I need to cook it for a few more minutes. #baking #shortbread

I can tell you pretty much my entire team on Royal Match is migrating over to Royal Kingdom. None of us see the logic in playing two such similar games.

I don't think I've ever had a mobile game apologize to me for their changes, and then give me Rewards to make up for them! Thank you, Merge Survival Wasteland! #mergegames #mobilegames

Loving the Netflix mobile games, like play.google.com/store/apps/d.... An actual merge game with zero micro transactions. Didn't think it was possible... #mergegames #mobilegames

I think i'm very very close to perfecting my shortbread recipe, but I can't quite get the baking time right. Also debating melting the butter instead of just softening it. #baking #shortbread

Absolutely - I got it from easyascookies.com/367-christma.... FYI I just throw everything but the cranberries and pecans into my Cuisinart - mixes up great and fast!

Cranberry Oat Pecan Scones (or Christmas Scones)

Cranberry Oat Pecan Scones are toasty yet tender, hearty and delicious. Make and freeze in advance, then have a freshly baked breakfast on Christmas morning!

I have a lot of mansions I merge stuff in. Love me a stupid merge game.

Those biscuits look AMAZING

Merge Mayor is one of my favorites. High on interest, lower on dopamine. This is one of those games I spend money on because I want to pay the devs, NOT because of some insane craving. #mergemayor #mergegames #mobilegames

What accounts bake scones? Or muffins? I've got the baking itch... #scones #muffins #baking

This.... Freaking... Game. They've totally mastered the dopamine hit. I love it, but my bank account does not. #mergegames #mobilegames

🧶Obsessed with this blanket. I've made 9 squares. Out of 36. In 3 months. So I should have this finished by this time next year.
