I used to be a developer, but I got better.

I second this.

It's a valid point.

Even I am not that pessimistic.

😀 Actually, video games changed my life. During a bad time in my life, I got addicted to Mass Effect. Then I wrote a sci-fi book. And then I became a full-time author.

Yeah, I just passed 60. Thirty years ago, I didn't play games because I worked on computers and didn't consider them play. Things have changed.

Huh. There were video games when you were a kid. Git offa ma lorn!

I stopped doing NaNo when it stopped being a challenge. I don't have any trouble writing that much. It's writing anything readable that's the challenge, and having an artificial deadline just makes it worse.

The Violet looks. Cool.

I hadn't even heard that, yet I feel the same way.
