Write Everyday

A side note for me, tonight. To become a better writer - whether it's game writing, personal writing or otherwise - requires that you write every day. It doesn't necessarily matter what. Creative non-fiction, short stories, character bibles, poems, screenplays, reviews...they all add up in the end. Each style hones different aspects of a writer's ability. This is important to remember.

In the game industry, nothing can be more important that a diverse set of strengths. While designers truly have to be immersed in several fields of study, writers need to at least get their feet wet. More importantly, writers need to express these fields of study accurately, concisely, and in ways that INTEREST other people. I think that last bit is by far the hardest.

So, let these words serve a simple reminder to readers, writers and anyone else: diligence is a blessing in this world. In writing, it is a quality that may make or break you. Write everyday. Write literary gold. Write crap. But write!
