A distant star; Santiago #vgen #comm #art

Today's writing thought. We shouldn't romanticize writing. Writing is messy and difficult much like love. We need to approach writing the same way we should approach love. We shouldn't love the idea of writing and instead actually love the act of writing. So don't romanticize it, romance it.

Tamasha! Is a Tabletop Role Playing Game and Setting inspired by my childhood growing up in LA as an Indian transplant. I wanted to make a RPG that I could play with my friends that were moving away, but as I was making it the desire for something different started to grow...(1/3)

Okay writing update for the day: Struggling to start reading the penultimate chapter of this draft, because I'M NOT READY for how this ends. Every time I read this ending, I am ruined in the best way possible. That isn't to say the lead up has been torture. #amediting #writesky #writingcommunity
