Writing is fine. It's literally the most embarrassing thing on earth to put yourself on full display for rejection or validation, but it's fine. I enjoy it. I find it therapeutic to set myself on fire.

It’s almost April 30th #MGS2 #MGS

Every moment in my life is a sign that urges me to keep writing and to tell the stories I want to tell and I’m being so serious rn

A perfect teatime! 🍵✨💕 #FireEmblem #FE3H #LolaArt [commission for the wonderful @jordan-d-64.bsky.social ]

Excited to see this come out! Would love to hear your thoughts on my thoughts about writing.

I am SO FRUSTRATED

Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.

Working on my second draft and I don’t think I have felt myself doubt my ability this much, but I need to push through one word at a time

Hello Bluesky! I'm Keira (they/them) and I write books! Looking for more people to follow, so if you write #romance, #fantasy, #sci-fi, and layered #thriller books with complex characters, please interact with this post so I can find you! #Booksky #Promosky #AmWriting #HelloWorld

I cannot stress enough that libraries need to be defended. Public. Academic. School. Fight for them. USE them & make it known that you're using them. As a librarian who lost the fight at their institution & was forced to toss 120,000 books because "no one reads books anymore," I am begging you.

My first drafts are usually pretty polished, prose-wise anyways. The rewrite and revision is for continuity, plot and sentence tightening, and general course correction of character motivations and all that jazz. Everyone writes differently. Let the first draft be your unrestrained summer fun 🫶

I don't like "Your first draft will be shitty" as advice, because it's a really negative framing. I prefer, "You have the freedom to be messy creating your first draft." Anyone crafter knows what their room looks like mid-creation. Writers should be as free to be as exhuberent and messy.

Why would I try to write a book 🤦‍♀️

Homemade bread is some of the best stuff ever

I have a nonfiction book I’m itching to write…

Winter break means time to catch up on my books and finish my reading challenge

In other news I might have treated myself to some journaling supplies

Mind blowing: setting small, manageable word goals enables you to actually make progress on your writing

Breaking news from my lap:

Dev diary day! I’m excited to finally share this look into Civ VII’s new emergent narrative system.

ubisoft laying off hundreds of people in *december* is just evil honestly

2024 currently has more known games industry layoffs than 2023+2022 combined. 2024 is roughly 600 layoffs away from doubling 2023. There is still plenty of business days left in the month. I can't emphasize enough how extreme these last few years have been. So far.

The hunt begins on Bluesky! Spread the news, hunters! To kick things off, allow us to sneak in this reminder of the reveal of a returning monster that was first shown at New York Comic Con! The iconic Queen of the Land, Rathian, is back in all her majesty in Monster Hunter Wilds!

if you're applying to phd programs you should probably LinkedIn stalk the profiles of recent graduates from said program, *including* those that do not have academic jobs, to get an idea of not only what the program's placement is, but also what people who go a different path end up doing.

Excited to announce our talk “Built in Layers: (Re)Creating History with the Narrative System in Civilization VII” at the Narrative Summit at GDC! Looking forward to diving into the workings of our narrative system with some brilliant people ✨

march 7th :D
