One thing I keep learning as a writer: always respect your audience. Trust them to feel your characters’ thoughts and decisions through subtext—show it, don’t tell.

In the past few weeks, I’ve written over 20,000 words, all with that in mind.

Currently playing #LostRecords Bloom & Rage by developer @dontnod.bsky.social. This game has a Life is Strange vibe that, at least on the surface, seems to tap into Stephen King’s Stand By Me — with its own unique flavor, I’m sure. I am excited to see what it has in store.

Making real progress on my novel these past months has been a rewarding challenge—both creatively and mentally. Losing myself in my characters and their world can be emotionally draining, but the payoff is seeing their journey unfold and knowing exactly how they got there. #amwriting #writechat

I’m still processing everything Arcane Season 2 delivered. It’s a lot to unpack, and I’m not quite ready to distill it into something profound just yet. For now, I’m going to let the story and its many layers marinate—there’s so much to reflect on, and I want to give it the time it deserves. #Arcane

Having a nearly finished Act 1 of my first novel feels like a milestone from where I was a short time ago. Trying to keep up the momentum to finish my first draft by my target date. Any and all encouragement is appreciated! Having a lot of fun seeing these characters come to life.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a masterpiece. The sheer effort behind it is astounding, offering "absolute" freedom to shape the campaign in ways that feel authentically yours. Explore rich character stories as you battle to overcome the evil that threatens the world.

I've seen videos on how "plotting kills creativity," but every writer's process is unique. There's no one-size-fits-all approach. Just beware of over-planning—it can lead to procrastination or resisting necessary changes when your story or characters demand it.

Silent Hill 2 Remake is a masterclass in remaking classic games for modern hardware. Not only does it faithfully remake the original, but it adds to its legacy by doubling down on one of SH2's most ethereal aspects. In my opinion, Bloober Team nailed it.

Gris is, hands down, one of the best games I have played in a long time. Without words, this game tells the story of Gris' emotional journey through grief.
