And then leave it alone and don't cut it down.⁠ 🌎️ #booksky #horror #slasher #earthday ⁠

As an author, as any type of creative, seeing this in response to something you're working on means more than can be expressed. 🥹🙏 #booksky #author #indieauthor

I’m seeing a lot of negative reviews on games along the lines of “this isn’t exactly what I wanted, even though it was exactly what was promised”. I can’t overstate how much more joy you will have if you allow art to unfurl in front of you, instead of demanding it be what you imagine you want.

Took me fourteen years to land the agent I wanted and get the deal I wanted. If I had stopped after a decade, nothing would’ve happened. If I stop now, nothing else will happen. Keep at it. Always.

If today's #feb28blackout proves successful, I propose it become an annual thing like Black Friday. Actually that would be a great name for it: BLACKOUT FRIDAY.

If I didn't know better, I'd say the goal of #Yellowjackets was to cram as many songs from the 80s and 90s into as short a period a time as possible. This is not a complaint. 🙂

I work as an animator in the games industry, and my contract is coming up in a couple of weeks. My reach on this platform extends to literally tens - TENS! - of people, but if anyone knows of any relevant positions coming up, let me know. Toronto-area or remote-friendly ideally! (Reel link below)

Often when asked my favorite scary movie I respond with "Showgirls." How often this reference goes over people's heads I find most disappointing smh. Please tell me someone gets it... #horror #horrormovie #horrorcommunity

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.
