And for what it's worth, I am always open to questions from other consultants from would-be and newbie consultants, to helping those who had the same feeling I did all those years ago when I first started, watching others do the job I wanted and not knowing how I could get there.
Reflecting on the litany of adverse childhood experiences akin to getting all the bean stamps on a coffee card that should have turned me into a broken creature but sheer force of will had other ideas.

Your traumas don't have to make you into a monster, they can be the foundations for greatness.

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:

Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.

Make. Friends.
Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +

I have slept more than I've been awake over Christmas, the chronic fatigue recovery is always like this. Lucky to have understanding in-laws and a place to nap whenever I want!

Thus begins my favourite time of year, the time that doesn't exist between Christmas and New Years!

I had a lot of issues watching The Game Awards this year as there were no individual warnings for the trailers to give me a heads-up whether they were safe or not.

Seizures can kill, please put warnings on. I don't want to die just cause you didn't put a warning that it might kill me, pls.
One final report from me before the holiday – I spoke with disabled players who noted this year's Game Awards caused seizure-like symptoms and migraines. Some reveals like Divinity caused approximately four hours of pain. Read more here:

Only one more train and I'm up north for Christmas. I appreciate the pure mad lad sized trains there have been even if all 8 carriages of both my previous trains have been busy af.

I am never going to be good at the feeling of travel as transition, but I can cope so much better now than before.

Working in the games industry directly FTE and not as a consultant has been illuminating in the same way as turning on the light in the pantry of an old house and it reveals there's a bunch of suspicious skeletons and a family tree that looks more like a family ouroborous.

A week off! We're having a mini Christmas tomorrow sharing gifts and having a roast ham before we head up north to visit family for the season 🎄
