If anyone in #publishing is ever hiring and looking for amazing / excellent talented folks - particularly for entry level roles - always feel free to reach out to me. I keep an extensive list of amazing candidates for a variety of roles (especially #editorial). People I'd wholeheartedly endorse.

Just had another awesome chat with the ever wonderful Fran Wilde about where we hope to take #StarWars #ReignoftheEmpire Book 3 - #FromtheAshes
If we accomplish even 1/3 of what we're planning, gosh are we going to have such a special cap to the series
Now we've got to earn it

I have to write *a thing*. It is only 61 words long.
I do not want to write it. I am not a writer. It is terrifying, and I am wholly unqualified/undeserving, but it my responsibility and obligation.
61 words might as well be 61,000.
I'll tell you about it...um, some day.

It's true, all of it. Best part of getting to work on the stories, is how awesome they all are as people.
The other Star Wars authors are all incredibly excellent people. Things hardly breaking news, especially if you’ve met any of them, but it’s absolutely true nonetheless.

Sometimes you get a spark of inspiration for a new project at *the most* inopportune time.
Only one thing to do when that happens.
Write it up, and try to make it happen.

An under-discussed theme that runs through all #StarWars is regret. How many characters are burdened and shackled by it and those that are able to break those shackles and push forward despite regrets, vs those who are dragged down and broken by them
I'm constantly fascinated by character regrets

The more I watch it, the more I think *THIS* scene is the most impressive achievement in all of #Andor.
More than Luthen/Mon's speeches.
More than "One Way Out".
More than "F**** the Empire"
More than Ghorman.
Why...

I’m an experienced game critic/journalist looking for work! I’d love to continue writing about games, but I’d happily consider PR, consulting, narrative, or non-gaming editorial work. I have experience hosting and producing podcasts, and I’m comfortable on mic and camera.

They should have Thrawn sitting in the cantina at Galaxy's Edge now, just pointing up at the blaster scarring on the wall and telling passersby "I did that", while nursing the same drink all-day.
And when Vader walks by he yells out GOOD DAY, ANAKIN! really loud.

The Little Hobbit has decided that my face is to be treated like some kind of Bop-It toy.
And I should add, its an honor and a privilege.

How edits to a #StarWars novel *sometimes* happen:
*Checks reference book.
*Leads to ref book 2.
*Leads to photo caption of ref book 3.
*Caption leads to mid-1990s "Adventure Journal"
*Which leads to mid-2000s issue of SW Insider...
Which leads to an editorial suggestion to solve plot issue.

I don’t have a full-time job at the moment and am looking to pick up freelance work! Let me write book reviews and recommendations, pop culture criticism, or geek news for YOU in 2026. My work has been enjoyed on Den of Geek, the official Star Wars site, The Mary Sue, and more. 🚀

They really need to add a native function to MS Word that lets you add tags to comments then filter or organize.
IE: mark comments related to the plot with a "plot" tag, and then later only view comments with that tag. This would make comments more useful as well as distilling them better.

That time we casually asked Magali Villeneuve to create some art for a #StarWars Insider short story, and she casually delivered the greatest piece of Asajj Ventress art ever. (SW Insider 159 - "Kindred Spirits" by Christie Golden)

Reorganized my work bookshelf for the first time in 3 years, and found 20 books to donate or give away. Rare editions, Out of Print stuff, etc.
Also found an extra copy of the #StarWarstheHighRepublic 2022 Convention Edition Boxset that has been trapped in the back for 3 years.
