Entering @game-writing.com's Write Club at GDC 2016 was truly a pivotal moment in my career.

I finished in the top 3, and took the host's advice to buy the judges a drink afterwards. I became friends with amazing people, whose advice directly led to writing for AAA projects.

A photograph taken a few years ago by Giles Armstrong, showing the outside of the Prince Charles Cinema in London. Above the name of the cinema, another sign space usually displays names and times of the films they're showing, but instead it says "MERRY CHRISTMAS YA FILTHY ANIMAL"

Pentiment key art showing a dark background w/ Totentanz. In front of it is a man seated at an angled work desk painting an illustration for a book of hours. His head has been replaced with a graphic illustration of orange flames rising up.

But behind the scenes, Pixar workers grappled with crunch, layoffs, and an avoidance of LGBTQ+ themes. Our report of the tumultuous making of th...

Question for people posting the same things here and on Twitter -- are you using something like Buffer to write it once, post it in multiple places? Or are you copy/pasting every time?

I’ve been using these guidelines as my baseline for years, both for myself and when I give other people advice on their freelancing rates. Absolutely indispensable imo
