We won’t bring about peace in the world merely by praying for it; we have to take steps to tackle the violence and corruption that disrupt peace. We can’t expect change if we don’t take action.

Something gaming has taught me about fiction is that fight scenes are not inherently interesting. They're a delivery mechanism, and need additional ingredients to be memorable: a cool setting, strong personalities/dialogue, weird monsters, unusual magic, or—best of all—emotion.

This is your reminder that you can only move forward if you do THE SCARY THING. Maybe it's writing the book, putting that webcomic online, reaching out to a pro, querying, or dropping art off with an editor at a con. Everything you want lies on the other side of OMG EEK.

it’s weird how we use words like “faces backlash” and “stirs controversy” and “ignites debates” over patently stupid shit being said and done. A more honest headline would be “person says shitty thing, is shitty.”
