#BoardGames this weekend! What did you play? We had our local group meeting, so I got in some Seven Wonders, a couple of rounds of Aberration, Thunder Road, and (not pictured) Cats Knocking Things Off Ledges. Quick reviews in alt.

Have you ever written a wedding into your stories? Or a story entirely about a wedding? Circustances with heightened emotions already built in are fertile ground for storytelling.

So, Clarice. Have the lambs stopped screaming?

Off to play #BoardGames with my group, today! What should I take? A worker placement game, or some nice point salads? Hmmm. Decisions, decisions.

We have some new people in the community. Re/Introduce yourself and tell us about your creative work

I'm just really excited to be here.
.
I did acting for many years, directing, writing plays and short stories. The pandemic killed my life in London, and I moved in with my parents in rural Tasmania. Quite the shift.
.
Now I design #BoardGames and write #books.
.
Two novels: Cruel Provocations (F) & Somebody Keeps Callin'(S). Desolation (SF) is my series of novellas.

What's the sign of a good critique?

A good critique will give the reader an Idea of whether might or might not enjoy the book. Regardless of the reviewers opinions on the book. Do you like this kind of story? This is for you. It has this style of writing, so if you don't enjoy that, don't read it. But if you do, go buy it. etc.

What about punctuation? Do you just go with commas and full-stops? Maybe stretch to the occasional emdash? Have you ever used a semi-colon or something a little more exotic?
