VOLITION - I can't help you. I am totally useless. Everything I've said is lies. I want the exact same bad things you want. To stand here, like a pillar of salt.

as someone who remembers what Duke football games were like in the 90s, I can't believe (in a good way) I'm watching them celebrating an ACC championship right now
also I'm now of the age where I look at college sports players and just see a bunch of kids trying their hardest

You're sitting on a kicksled, whizzing through the snow. A warm, kind presence is guiding the sled behind you, her mittened hand resting on your back. You feel very, very loved -- and very, very safe.

"moogle" is, however, unmistakable
My son pronounces "chocobo" and "soccer ball" exactly the same and I think that's beautiful

Writing a first person child narrator in adult fantasy is HARD. Striking that balance between them actually sounding like a child but the book not reading as middle grade is maybe the hardest craft thing I've ever attempted. #writingcommunity

Oh no, I missed #N7day! Some little known lore about me: I was SUPER into Mass Effect 3 multiplayer in grad school. It and Civ V...those were the days. Anyway, there was a ME3MP community banner contest back in 2013 -- I didn't win, but I had fun with a Tech Mastery banner entry!

major downside of Riftbound is being required to have both a Legend and a Champion card of the same character when there's so many Legends in the game...makes it really hard to cobble together a deck
