Accessibility means we make reasonable accommodations for those whose needs differ from what we expect. It's really that simple. Be kind. When someone catches your attention, ask politely what they need. You might learn something. You might also make someone's day. Be kind.
I’ve never been good at expressing myself out loud, but after spending years on FLAP YOUR HANDS, I knew in my heart what I wanted to say, and somehow the right words came out.

When I get stuck on a plot point, I go back and write out each beat in a single sentence, focusing on cause and effect. If I can’t think of why something happens and what it leads to, I know it’s a weak spot that needs attention.

There are doorways in the mist the color of nothing. They open to the paths of nowhere, an infinite tangle between space and time. Some say you can get lost in those passages, but they are wrong. You were lost as soon as you crossed the threshold.
