resurfacing
Battle Overtime is OH-vah. And I slept 13 hours. I'm now about to attempt mowing the lawn. Pray for me.
The thing about working in gaming is that it leaks into my writing. There are good sides to this. I became a tighter, more efficient writer after working in text-based MMORPGs. I have an excellent understanding of finances and deals. I know what media exposure does to a company. And (I can hear the Almighty Mel snorting now) I take criticism and apply it to my work with minimal whining.
And then, there is the bad.
Bad because I lay in bed at night and wonder what on earth is fresh/inventive/interesting about my writing that five zillion other 20- or 30-something writers haven't already thought up. And I wonder if I might have another ten years to find that something.
In the meantime, I write, submit, and wait.
