romance will destroy you, community will fix you, and friendship could go either way but will be much more intense in any case

sometimes you really do have to grit your teeth and remember your values include not dunking on people on social media

watching a very popular TV show many years after it comes out is so fun because occasionally you get to be like oh! its my friend! from the reaction gifs!

the first person to read the novel front to back sent me a note saying they couldn't put it down and -- I can't properly explain why this is such a generous reading but c.f. this image -- sent me a bunch of pictures of their favourite beetles

a discord screenshot that reads "i just had an idle thought about what the cover art of emanation would be if it ever came to pass and i realised it would be great if it was a big shiny beetle"

as a reader I get something interesting from what you choose to include & excerpt and then what i choose to read from that!

very kind of autumn to excerpt something I have no memory of writing thereby allowing me to be pleasantly surprised by myself

the problem with being a writer who is deeply embedded in video games is that occasionally you do get an idea that would only be achievable as a roguelite deckbuilder
