The woman at his door was unusual. She was definitely not from around here, Trevor thought.
"You're Trevor MacIythdan, are you not," she said in an unrecognizable accent.
"Yes, yes I am. Can I help you?"
"You bought the beans from the merchant on the side of the road, yes?" She asked.

- edited out long pauses, math, and uninteresting rules look up moments.
- being able to enjoy it anywhere, especially while doing boring chores!
- generally around 90 minutes, an excellent length!

I just released my "Brief Guide to Writing Short Fiction." It's a solid guide to writing short stories and more; and has a special focus on Sword and Sorcery stories.
It costs $10, which, as a set of instructions to write stories you can sell, is rather inexpensive.
Like and share. That helps!

In your book, do you talk about the pre-history of play?
I've often said, on social media, that in the mid to late 70s it never occurred to me that anyone would want to watch us play but surely there were young kids like me who recorded their games just to laugh at themselves

Earlier this year, I decided to offer script notes and consultations for the first time. Why would anyone pay me for that? Well, I've spent the last 35 years in LA as a writer, and I've worked all sides of this equation.
