I edit, proofread, and occasionally write things, mostly games and books.

As an editor, it's hard to accept that I might miss errors. As a human, I accept it. A few years ago, I edited/proofed 1 million+ words in the Ptolus books under tight deadlines until my eyes *literally* bled (subconjunctival hemorrhage!). I fixed tons of stuff. Prob missed things too.

I went from never having heard of Cosmic Crisp a few years ago to it being my favorite apple. Literally yesterday, the store was out of CC so I sighed “Okay, I GUESS I’ll get some Honeycrisp if I HAVE to.“

That's how I describe my Bluesky posts too.

Man, being forced to work on the Buck Naked in the 25th Century license was a low point of my TSR days.

Sorry to hear that, Nathan. Hopefully you’ll find your next gig soon.

Cool. Didn’t know you were making a game. Hope all is well!

That's such a great feeling! What are you writing these days?
