![Hi Ryan, [Redacted for spoilers]
Your writing of queer characters is perfect, in that you don't do it. You just plop them in without explanation. There is no trauma to explain it, no anything, just they are there, no questions asked, moving on. [Redacted for spoilers] That's enough for a full D&D campaign! It's quite good.
Also your writing has just a really good amount of whimsey. It feels very fun and fresh. I especially like how you describe Kuro finally learning more about [Redacted for spoilers]. I'm stealing those concepts for my D&D character's journal.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gpe5k4zgb5hpdtlbmtixwf4n/bafkreieacqk4qg5w5bycv53bee5mcw2cpopqh2oaoysapqncogz74qtxma@jpeg)

You know when you're sick but you've been sitting still, not doing anything for a while and start to think you're fine so you decide to do something and then it's the most taxing thing you've ever done in your life.
So my second shoe isn't getting tied up.

None of my to-do list items include scrolling the feed but I am nonetheless finding it difficult to ignore Events.

I did an interview for Authority Magazine all about writing fantasy.
Would love to know if other authors have similar writing advice.

Just received the most fantastic surprise in the mail from @stealingfromwizards.com! The entire Stealing from Wizards series, which I copyedited. I rarely work with individual authors. Ryan's writing is special. Just look at that adorable wax seal!

Alright! I feel pretty good about that. I'm going to step away and come back later with fresh eyes, but that feels like pretty good progress for Christmas morning.
How do y'all feel about it?

To all the people who left shopping too late and are buying books today hoping that Amazon will deliver a copy of SfW before Christmas, I see you, and I pray for you.

Once again, for those at the back:
Just a reminder, y’all:
If you love a book, especially an indie-published one, tell the world! They can always use the help. And the authors (and publishers) love hearing it🖤☠️

This is my favourite D&D magic item I've ever made: the Legendary Orery,
It started as just the top two disks, giving the player one of four random cantrips each day. They discovered more disks as they adventured, giving them a random set of extra prepared spells each day up to level five.
