Saturday 11:00 AM in Sequoia for 1 hours
Presenter(s): Doc Cross

First off, this is not how to get a gig writing games. No, this is how to get into the habit of writing something every day. We'll talk about subject matter, blogs, best times of day to write, letting people read your stuff, and even going on Patreon to make a few bucks. I've written a ton of stuff over the past 32 years, from fanzines to pro writing to blogs to regular stuff for my Patrons. I'll do my best to give you ideas and answer your questions.
