Wanted to pop on over here and say another creative project of mine has dropped. It's the start of my Kindle Vella series, would appreciate if you checked it out, reading the 1st 3 eps is free. https://t.co/IPj9UkLc3n
I'm diving into the writing scene, have been for a while. If you'd like to follow more of my creative exploits, you can hop on over to @CrystalMDWrites

With #MaxPayneRemake announced, I want to reiterate an important point:
When remaking a game... you have a huge opportunity to add #accessibility,, including for gamers without sight and other disabilities!
As an a11Y consultant, I'd love to help make this happen for more games!
lol the last tweet I see I made was about that book I was reading and...didn't pick up til ch 50 so...interesting and cute, but slooooow crawl with a semi-satisfactory ending.
@GASpriggs Makes sense. For me it's hard to follow at 1.5, but I have to listen auditorily to so many other things in daily use that I guess I like to have that specific thing at a normal speaking rate.
I honestly don't get how people listen to an audio book sped up. I always try to, and it just defeats the purpose to me, as I want to listen to an audio book for the purpose of the performance, more than getting through it quickly. I read ebooks if I want a quicker experience.
This book is such a slow crawl of repetitive action that I'm srsly considering reading something else with it. It's amusing enough, but the MC needs to develop faster because we're 18 chapters into the book and he's still annoying. We'll see how it pans out though.
Kindles accessibility, and Goodreads are the 2 tools I'd say helped me the most when fully getting back into reading in 2019. I tried doing Audible, but while I'm getting back into audio books atm, I find reading an ebook easier and the format I prefer.
We'll see if making a contemporary shelf on Goodreads motivates me to read them more! As nothing motivates me more than filling a virtual bookshelf rotfl. But no srsly, Goodreads has been a great help in tracking my reading, and motivating me to do so/finding good reads.
I guess I should stop grumbling about the contemporary/traditionally published book prices because as soon as I DL a sample of 1 I buy it after reading the 1st few pages so...guess they're that price for a reason. Really like the generally snappy dialogue and framing of the genre
I want to get into reading more contemporaries but geez are they expensive when I look them up! I guess I'm used to indi book prices though, as anytime I venture out of those the books are like O.O with their prices. I guess I should get over that, since have read gd pricy reads.
Am I the only 1 who puts all the music stuff away because they're stuck on an idea only to come up with something to try right after putting everything away? It drives me nuts, but I guess I wouldn't have gotten said idea without tinkering w/the composition first, but ugh!
I'm tinkering w/my brownie recipe and tried it with half coconut oil w/the butter today and I think this will be my new go to recipe. Really chewy and fudgy with a nice rich flavor. Now I have like 3 recipes to go to for any given brownie mood XD
Still have four eps to go but The Rising of the Shield Hero is so good ugh. Haven't watched anime in a while and glad I broke my hiatus w/this 1. English dub is fantastic also, the VAing in ep 21 especially got me!
Whenever I work on one big project by the end of it I'm like picking it apart and finding everything wrong with it so I can never enjoy the full process, so this method also works to make me not be so hard on myself over every arrangement.
I finally figured out the theming I want for this original and now I can flesh out my rough sketch of it. Never tried working on a lot of stuff at once before, but tbh it's working as I can work on things in tiny steps instead of 1 big project that takes forev.
