My friend Heather Logas is a game designer. We worked together at Telltale. Like me, she’s now her own boss… and also like me, she has big, creative dreams.

This is a 1:12 house I started a looooong time ago as part of a Greenleaf community build. I never really intended to keep it and every Christmas I thought of finishing up so I could donate it to charity or find someone to give it to as a gift, but laziness got the better […]
Maybe I picked the wrong time to get into this business. Freelance Writing’s Unfortunate New Model was printed in the LA Times yesterday, taking a look at the current state of freelance writing.
