I'll say more when I can focus a bit, but for now ... While I'd love to stay in games, I'm also open to editor positions elsewhere in the publishing world. Fiction would be lovely. Before joining the games industry, I spent a decade and a half in higher ed roles that inform my work today.

I have a somewhat unhealthy pride in my ability to hit exact wordcounts without forcing content to fit. Assignment range was 200-300 words. 300 on the dot without even paying attention.

Something I think we don't talk about enough is how isolating it can be to 'forge your own path'. It's kind of on the top of my mind bc I'm going 'home' next week. I walked out on the people who raised me the day I turned 18. A year later, I moved across the country. It was the right thing to do.

Hit bad burnout/anxiety/depression today, so took the afternoon and shoved myself into the studio to craft. Made an evening bag, started painting a jacket panel, designed a couple of other small projects, cleaned the office, organized my desk, reviewed perfumes, and wrote a BUNCH.

(The whole 'forgot a whole-ass novel thing isn't surprising to anyone who has asked me what part of a game book I wrote. For some reason, as soon as words go on a page, they are just GONE.)

Jaym Gates @jaymgates.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

I also realized tonight that trying to write a specific number of words per day or whatever just does not work for me and probably is part of why I stopped writing. I also can't do brain-dump drafts, I generally write nearly final text on the first pass. So I have to really be in the story.

Just found a whole novel I'd forgotten about. Yes, one I wrote. I remembered writing two, but discovered this one when I was looking for notes for a long-running old project. I still only have the VAGUEST memory of writing it and could not tell you anything about it.

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

In "well, didn't expect that to make me tear up"... I've been a fan of Mucha's work for years (and was fortunate enough to see his Slavic history series in person in Prague), and some of the quotes in here hit right where they needed to. This book is huge, beautiful, and a love letter to the artist.

It's probably not nice to laugh when your partner messages you that he just woke up because the youngest dog was snuggled up to him and farted. But I've been suffering all evening, so. This man could probably sleep through a tornado, if that tells you how bad Magni has been today.

I was supposed to do a bunch of stuff to help my horse be more mentally prepared, but the weather and my injury means that hasn't happened either. He's an anxious, hot-headed ex-racehorse, but he's also a Standardbred, but the vet calls him "the spookiest Standie" so this is gonna be exciting.

I just paid today for a riding clinic next month and it has ramped my anxiety about that clinic to 11. I was vastly underprepared BEFORE I spent a month and a half of prep time benched with a broken leg. Don't mind the high-pitched screaming from my side...

Okay, so I ended up skipping through and watched maybe 30 minutes total and still feel like I wasted too much time on it. So, *so* bad, and this from someone who actually does enjoy the modern versions of the franchise

Like, hilariously bad. The writing is ham-fisted, the dialog is awkward, the editing is like driving down a road filled with potholes, and the plot decisions are genuinely unbelievable even when you dangle your disbelief 12 stories up by the throat.
