Ever wanted to know what it’s like to attend the madness that is San Diego Comic Con?

I'm revisiting my first ever trip to SDCC (2013!)… and all the chaos that ensued (...there was a lot of chaos).

Start with part 1, here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/san-diego-comic-107042728

"What sort of work does a Lead Narrative Designer do?"

Well, in celebration of Tales of Kenzera: Zau launching today, I take a brief, and mostly general (because, you know, #gamesdev #tellnosecrets) dive into the role in relation to my years on the game:

With all the crazy social media hoo-ha about comic book scripts recently, I thought it was about time to dive into the basics of my writing methods, and why using 'the Marvel Method' that Stan Lee used (and some writers continue to use today) is far from "lazy".

The first part of my comic book writing class is free to read until Monday before it locks to upper tier subscribers, so feel free to spread the word (or words, as it were).

"Every negative thought overwhelms any positive with ease. And soon, you don’t want to talk to anyone about it. You barely want to talk. You just keep on."
