I re-read "A Wind in the Door" by Madeline L'Engle over the last couple days. She's one of my fave authors and I just did not care for the book as a kid, but thought I should give it another try. I took notes so... here are some of them. #CurrentlyReading

To celebrate Bilbo and Frodo's birthdays yesterday I finally got Tales of the Shire! It was so cozy I fell asleep... 😬 That said, it was 11 p.m. so I'm not drawing any conclusions, will just try again another time. #HobbitDay #CurrentlyPlaying

Twine publishing day! I've been working on this short piece of interactive fiction on and off for about a year, based on some memories of my late sister. It's moody and mellow, and might make you teary if you knew my sister, but knowing her is definitely not a prerequisite.

Convinced a very good friend who is a reader but not a gamer to play What Remains of Edith Finch. "It is like none of the games your kids play," I assured her.

When spring comes but the weather stays wintering, I always feel like it’s because Persephone is back home with Demeter but at that locked away in her room/not speaking to her mom stage. Then when it’s nice for a day it’s like, Aw, did the ice thaw as they shared a moment over coffee this morning?
