3 years ago today, companions systems designer (& one of my favorite people) Carrie said she was turning on Sharp's "brain"--he would start responding/reacting to things in game. In my mind, this day became his birthday. I ended up referencing it in his lore.
Happy birthday, Sharp-as-Night!

It doesn't take a lot for people to start reading. But year after year, what keeps you coming back? In this week's Mark As Read, @mollytempleton.com discusses reading as a lifelong habit:

Decided to do #NaNoWriMo this year entirely on a whim. Only made it about halfway to 50k, but unlike all the years that I finished before, I'm really pleased with where this story is headed and plan to stick with it beyond this sprint.

yeah I know it's not really a great show, but I watched it when I was a very young and impressionable 26 year old

And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both.
The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

I watched a really long and entertaining documentary about the Friday the 13th movies called "Crystal Lake Memories" and when it came time to discuss Jason X, one of the actors that was in it gave it the best blurb I've ever heard for a movie ever.

The tech sector making it okay to wear jeans to work for traditional white collar jobs is probably the only truly great thing they have produced in the last 10 years.
