#Introduction / #introductions Well, I'm thinks hard a #WFH lecturer/arts educator/artist who follows #landscape artists, #ClassicalMusic, #Birdlovers, #SciFi and #AncientHistory buffs, #historicalwarfilms as my perennial interests but open to new ideas and interests.

#SideHustle is #Parsifal, #Grail, and #Arthurian legends. Just finished running a #CreativeWriting course on this.

Likes to sail the vastness of the deep, deep seas and deep, deep space in my mind's eye. But not a real sailor as, like Sir Francis Chichester's wife, I can't tolerate blue water sailing. Still, I have a strange fascination for maritime fiction.

Dogged by #Grammarly and unwritten papers.

I just posted an article on Medium. I hope it strikes a cord with writers new and experienced a like.

I have several #interactiveFiction #parser #textAdventure #games works in progress, that I'm in various stages of developing. Suddenly had great idea last night for one of them, reframing the opening and overall structure. Making frantic notes now before I totally forget it all. Typing into comments in my #Inform7 source code. Feeling invigorated. Hoping that my #neuro #illness allows me enough good time to complete this #game and the others satisfactorily. #IndieGames #GameDev #creativeWriting

I never made an post, after all this time. My name is Ben, an airy man who tends to have my head in the clouds. I'm mainly a but my other hobbies will be included in the hashtags. So far, my experience with Mastodon has been a good one. With luck, I'll continue to create a group of people to talk with.

Browsing the IFDB #InteractiveFiction database and just stumbled again across my own list of my top 10 personal favourite interactive fiction #games. The list is arranged in chronological order, from 1983 to 2017. Some predictable titles in there but also some less familiar ones. I include comments about each one. https://ifdb.org/viewlist?id=fplmp7feqc2spqwj #TextAdventure #Parser #CreativeWriting #IndieGames #GameDev #Top10 #Infocom #DouglasAdams #Tolkien #Fantasy #CallOfCthulhu #80sGames #90sGames #RetroGaming

For the creatives here on Mastodon I'd like to share a website that witnesses your work for the purposes of copyright protection. An important issue and perhaps a site that can provide some reassurance. Take a look.

I've long since been a follower of 's since shortly after they showed up on the internet. They're a nonprofit publisher from . When I can afford it, I subscribe to their print efforts, McSweeney's and the bimonthly . But their frequently updated (of such nuggets as "Im Comic Sans, Asshole") still scratches that daily itch for me. Worth checking out:

Here's a lie I keep telling myself:

"I just have to reorganize all my files and folders and then I'll really start getting back into being productive"

I think I will disable comments on my writing website, I only get bots for now and it's only annoying, one told me "your writing is good, but have you considered using AI to generate more content and rank higher on search results?" spit on my face instead it will be less insulting

The Edinburgh International Book Festival Citizen Writers collaborated with illustration students from Edinburgh College of Art to create a set of postcards, inspired by the writings of Alice Thornton (1626-1707). Read and see their ‘Deliverances from Death’ here. Which is your favourite? https://ontheroad.edbookfest.co.uk/blog/citizen-writers-x-edinburgh-college-of-art-deliverances-from-death/ @litodons

Ah yes, that wonderful feeling when you’ve written yourself into a corner…let’s see how and if I’ll get myself out of this one before motivation fades. 😅
