    When describing the big things in your world, also remember to include the kind of small, human details that will make it feel real. Graffiti. A drunk&#39;s pool of vomit. The safety card in the back of the seat. #WorldBuilding #StarWars #writing #WritingCommunity #ttrpg #dnd #GameDev

    Looking for something to do this weekend? How about buying MP3s of all the music you love directly from the artists, or from Bandcamp, etc, and deleting Spotify? That could be fun. #music #spotify #ai #FuckICE

    Okay, #Writers. Who are you using for your covers? Drop me some recommendations for cover artists (maybe a link to their work, or just a chance to post your books). Not interested in people who do their own covers. #Writing #books #art #WritingCommunity #WritersCoffeeClub #PennedPossibilities

    Off to the Tamar Valley Author&#39;s Market today to sell my books. It&#39;s a local farmer&#39;s market, but they have little themes for the mid-month market. Apparently, there will be at least two writers present. Head a long to Beaconsfield in the extremely unlikely event you read this and live in Northern #Tasmania. #Books #Reading #writing #Bookstodon

    Sent my latest book out to my reviewers. This is always the nervy part because they are people who will tell it like it is. They&#39;ve been full of praise, with some caveats, for my last few books. Here&#39;s hoping this one lives up to the standard. I think it&#39;s brilliant, of course, but then I&#39;m biased. . If you&#39;re interested in reviewing my work, DM me. . Check it out on Kickstarter if you&#39;re interested in #SciFi mixed with #steampunk. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/d...

    Your characters are tasked with finding something. This is somehow unreasonably difficult. (Vietnamese Mossy Frogs, so called because they are often not found in Vietnam.) #WritingPrompt #writing #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #ttrpg #dnd #GameDev

    Emerland. Another version of Everdell. This was fun. Though I&amp;#39;ve never played the base game, I like the way this version builds momentum and the helpers having multiple uses is interesting. #BoardGames #TabletopGames #gaming

    A character doesn&amp;#39;t appear to be evil, or even significant, but they keep turning up, and keep messing things up for the other characters. Also, this weekend, I get to play me some #BoardGames! Yay! #writing #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

    Deer deliver in the strangest of places! If you find a fawn in your yard, leave it alone, do not touch, move or feed it. They have no scent and predators cannot find them unless humans interfere. Mom leaves during the day for 2 primary reasons: to feed, and to keep her scent away. Mom will return, but not until dusk and not if humans are around. If you discover the gift of a fawn enjoy the experience, and let the Mom do what comes naturally. Please share, thank you. #wildlife

    How often do you use pure, blind luck as a plot device? Do you include randomness in your stories at all? It might make them more realistic, but it&amp;#39;s often unsatisfying for the readers. #random #writing #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #ttrpg #dnd #GameDev
