On a creative journey bringing the world of Starball and Grimborn to life.
Underrated advice I heard. The worst mistakes in life are made when you try to do fast what’s meant to be done slow. Real, durable things take a long time to build. Careers. Businesses. Relationships. Health. There are no hacks or shortcuts. The long way is the right way.

Massive thanks to the 50+ Beta readers of the latest version of @starball.bsky.social - Trial By Fire. It has hugely helped the editorial team refine the storyline and in one quote ‘get to the juicy stuff quicker’.
