As much as I love writing, I love alternative forms of storytelling too! Video games and TTRPGs are my storytelling mediums of choice these days outside writing but I love all the different ways people find to tell stories to each other.
I loved your corn maze prompt response ❤️
As far as classics I love, in fact my favourite book of all time is a 900-page brick of Victorian literature, Middlemarch by George Eliot. I've re-read it every few years since it first blasted my brain when I was 13 and I'm absolutely feral about it every single time. I love it so so so so so so much.
Thank you for the book recommendation! Or, not sure if that was the intention but I will check it out :). Thank you for the compliment!! I felt pretty good about the prompt response. It's a challenge for me to stick to the solid rules of a prompt so I'm glad it worked out. What TTRPGs do you like most?
Nearly every game I run/play in at the moment is a homebrewed D&D, but I'm very lucky to have such a creative and imaginative group that all of our games are unique and brilliant. D&D is the skeleton but we have so much fun playing with it. I'm also currently in a Good Society hack game - we're running it as a text RP which definitely doesn't make use of all the game's options but it's working out really well and I'm loving telling this story in a different way.
I’m so glad I finally had time to read your newsletter. So much of what you write resonates with me.
I love your rabbit stories. I love that you are a storyteller, even when you’re not writing. I am too. Everything to me is a story and it always has been. I used to worry that I exhausted people with my stories. I think that’s why I wrote in journals, so no one had to read what I wrote.
I think my dad gave me a journal because I told so many stories, and he loved them and wanted me to put them somewhere so I would always know I was a storyteller.
My Dad is a storyteller too, but not a writer because he chicken pecks the keyboard.
I’ve been trying desperately to get him to write the stories of my childhood…but he’s only up to a hundred years ago in our history. He loves genealogy, and I wanted to have the story of my ancestors written out…but I really want him to tell me our stories.
But I think, I’ll record him instead! Thank you for that thought!
My mind is buzzing because you activate so many things in my brain with your writing. I appreciate you!
I’m sending big love to you and the bunnies and your wonderful partner.
Thank you so much for this! I'm so happy to hear this inspired you to record your dad. I really love your writing and stories and it's so sweet to hear that my writing causes pleasant brain buzzing! I think for me the writing comes from buzzing--I read or watch or experience things and then when my brain is buzzing enough I write it down. I'm really glad you post many of your stories. I'm guessing it may feel like or be for you, but it is really beneficial to others who get to read it <3 I'm often surprised people want to read what I write, and it's so lovely to receive kind comments from you! Big love to you and your family too. <3

I hope you enjoy Middlemarch if you brave it!
