And, sometimes it will even create opportunities to write additional short stories and novellas based on said side characters, giving you the chance to explore them even further.

Just finished Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Dialogue might have been a tad stilted at times, but having played (and replayed) the three previous DA games, I very much enjoyed DA4. People really need to ignore the grifters on social media. Empty tin cans good for nothing but useless noise.

I know it's almost coincidental timing with a trip south to IL, but this is the first day all year where it actually seemed like summer was approaching.

There was a point where I wondered if 'Scions' would reach 1500 *views* within a year. To reach this point is crazy. #RoyalRoad #ScionsOfTheTuathaDe

When people talk about what separates RoyalRoad's community from other online serial platforms, Laura is one of the first people who come to my mind. In addition to sharing her own work, she encourages and trumpets fellow authors whenever she gets the chance. open.spotify.com/episode/2NEm...

Was watching the weather last night and at separate times there were probable tornado tracks leading toward the St. Louis and Lincoln, IL radar sites. Given the state of government funding, yet another reason to hold your breath when one of these storms are on the ground.

It's been years, but I'll never agree with how readily my former employer gave up on the Macomb, IL area, even though there is no ABC station in Quincy.

We're at a point where if you simply explained in neutral terms what the administration is doing, an otherwise uninformed person would simply not believe you. "We're defunding cancer research, ending weather reporting and legalizing the dumping of poisons? You're joking." bsky.app/profile/luck...

Today is about as close to a Super Bowl as my occupation and my interests allow me to get. I get to see all the students and classes I work with perform for their families. What's more, I get to watch them sing a couple of songs I recorded for them.

Wild Robot is easily the best DreamWorks animated move since How to Train Your Dragon 2. Perhaps even HTTYD. Fantastic.

We shut the door and closed the vents to a room we don't use much. Almost a 20-degree difference from the rest of the house. #wx
