I've been listening to Yahtzee since 2007 and I never thought I'd work, much less write, a game that he reviewed. Take his word for it and check out the #RoguePrinceofPersia (available on Steam and consoles!)

[Matthew Willis @MatthewofWillis]

Just listened to the newest Ramblomatic from @YahtzeeCroshaw on the #RoguePrinceofPersia. Hearing he's "fond of the story" and the writing had some "nice touches" is probably the highest praise I'll ever receive from him, so I think I'll retire from game writing now.

@BookmarkType Thank you! I hope so! :D

THE UNDOING OF MARLOWE POEUR: A young man fakes his death to escape the clutches of his protective mother but finds carving out a new life harder than he thought, especially with police, private investigators and family and friends hunting for his body. #thriller #JWMeetYourMatch

I've just submitted my entry for the @jerichowriters #FridayNightLive competition at the London Festival of Writing! Wish me luck 🤞 #LFOW23

Any literary agents out there who rep screenwriters I could speak to? I'm being asked to do a substantial script rewrite under odd circumstances, and I'm hoping to get some guidance/advice.

@JustinRColon Amen

@keslupo Yikes. Sounds like it wasn’t her fault though. Giving feedback is as much of an art as taking it.

[Matthew Willis @MatthewofWillis]

@keslupo Curious about feedback too, though. I’ve seen a few writing workshops turn into dumpster fires because of poorly phrased feedback. 😅

@careyfblankensh @belcastr When can we see a MSWL?! Congrats! :)

@laurenspieller @ChristineEmba @washingtonpost Would you be interested in a novel whose character is going through some of the struggles/crises the article covers? Kind of a “late bloomer millennial” coming of age story? Personally, I find this subject fascinating and wonder if there’s an audience for something in that space.
