Here's a piece I wrote for the Guardian a few weeks back about why we should play for play's sake. If you look *very* closely at my writer photo you'll see I'm wearing a Pokémon shirt. www.theguardian.com/books/2024/o...

The big idea: how games can change your life

To get the most out of play, we should embrace it for what it is, not as a way to hone skills or train our brains

Ay yo if you like tabletop games my book The Game Changers is out in UK shops now. It's the story of how games changed the world, 'told,' according to sickly organ of British right-wing disgruntlement The Spectator, 'with compelling panache.' You MUST buy it; that is the law.

A shot of The Game Changers, by Tim Clare, a hardback book featuring the title in the middle of a stylised teetotum esque spinner, surrounded by green yellow red & blue circles suggesting a ludo board.

TFW you had a brilliant idea that will both close a plot hole and raise the stakes in one fell swoop, but the idea is genocide. Two of them, actually.

FINE. You won. I’m back here from Threads. (Pretty much dead on X. Keeping the account for now, for logistical reasons)

My Keychron K6 battery is dead after 4 years of daily use and it’s sold out. Any recs for a new mechanical keyboard? RGB, US layout, Mac layout, tenkeyless, 65%, both wireless and wired, gateron red switches, better if hot swappable but not necessarily, shipping from Europe.

Just upgraded my @novlr.bsky.social account to Pro 🎉🎉🎉 Writing fiction in Novlr gives me warm and fuzzy vibes. It’s so relaxing. The team is kind and helpful, and the official Discord is a banger ✌️

I just released a new chapter of “The Boy Who Didn’t”, my dystopian sci-fi novel where AI and Humankind come face to face with the sins of their past. Go read “Chapter 8: Broken” on williamghelfi.com and spread the word!

William J. Ghelfi @williamghelfi.com · 14/11/2023

Chapter 8/15 of “The Boy Who Didn’t” is 99% done! 🎉

I thought so. I remember German airports a few years ago being already more advanced than Italian ones 😅

I just solved 3 plot points + introduced a mid-book twist with one fell swoop. I feel good right now 😎

Hey 👋 I’m building this account into a writing one! Any suggestions about who should I follow?

I feel you! Just finished chapter 7/15 and I’m taking a couple days off 😅

"Reports use of an exported name as the locally imported name of a default export." This wording should be a criminal offense.

Chapter 7 is almost done. It’s been taking me a while, but I realized it’s because it’s central to the story 🤞

If you have kids, what are you doing with them better than what your parents did with you?

I’m sorry to inform you that you just lost at the game

Who called this “Hanger Organiser” and not “Hanger Games”? You had one job.

Woot woot chapter 6 is already the longest yet, at 3600 words, and I have still one or two scenes to write! I feel like I'm getting better as I go on (not necessarily because I write longer chapters). I'm going to have a lot of edits for the first chapters 😄

William J. Ghelfi @williamghelfi.com · 01/09/2023

Every time I’m about to complete a new chapter of my novel, I remember how lost and overwhelmed I felt when I started it. And it blows my mind. Every time.

I’m sorry? Users want the chronological feed and hate that some corporate decides what to feed them instead.

In an impossibly cool move, Joe Murray, creator of Rocko's Modern Life, has noticed his book about creating animation is out of print and massively over-priced on the second hand market. So he's put it on his site for free. joemurraystudio.com/books-by-joe...

Why does that website exist when we have Wikipedia? I didn’t even know it existed.
