Bookshop dogs

Skate 3
Working, working, working. Maybe half done with a first draft, tons more work to do. No real news here.

Media
I’ve been playing old games recently. There’s something comforting in the pixelated, point-and-click simplicity of the first Baldur’s Gate on the PC (Enhanced Edition on Steam for updated graphics and bug fixes, but still), the sprawling 4X fun of Civilization V, the blocky jumping and flying of Super Mario World – these are evergreen to me, never worth scoffing at, always fun in their seasons and times.

I’m halfway through Sanderson’s Rhythm of War, and I’m fully engaged with the plot and characters. It’s been a while since I’ve visited Roshar, so it took some time for me to get reacquainted with everyone, but I’m there now.

Miscellany
Other projects are in the works, not just Skate. Nothing to announce there, but I’m writing, writing, writing. With summer coming on, I hope to visit some bookshops. I went recently to a new one in the region, Fox & Fable. Here’s a tip for any shop owners: Get a friendly shop dog.

That’s all from me, for now.
