Surprise! I'll be talking about my writing career

Surprise!
I'll be talking about my writing career and industry tips today at the wonderful GamePad Online.
Very grateful to get the chance to chat with @mayamadatees about all things writing (even if I'm still having to be secretive about some stuff... 🤫) and even lightly touching on recent events such as Black Lives Matter's positive effect on the industry from a personal perspective.

We're kicking things off at 4pm BST - it's a free and online virtual gaming event, so grab a ticket and get involved.

So, a year after leaving PlayStation, I'm... ⠀
⠀
...erm... ⠀
⠀
...leaving PlayStation. Again. ⠀
⠀
After my freelance contract extension, it means 12 and a half years later, as of tonight, I'm really, *really* moving on⠀
⠀
Like, for proper this time 😥 ⠀
⠀
Sad to be leaving so many wonderful folk and friends, although, ironically, once we're through this virus hellscape, I'll have more opportunities to see them due to the nature of my work. ⠀
⠀
*plays ominous pan-pipes* ⠀
⠀
And that makes being optimistic for the future so much easier. ⠀
⠀
I've already started work with [NDA redacted] on one of the most fun and thrilling projects I've ever had the pleasure to be part of, with a crazy talented team. And tomorrow I start work with [temporarily redacted] which is super, super exciting and already brim with lovely people. ⠀
⠀
But I think it speaks volumes that PlayStation kept and revitalised me in an industry I was on the verge of quitting back in 2006/7, while [redacted 1] and [redacted 2 until tomorrow] have made me excited to *still* be part of it, 19 years in ❤ ⠀
⠀
Here's to the next chapter 🍻 ⠀

You may have seen this on my Twitter feed already,

You may have seen this on my Twitter feed already, but if you caught the hint on here from last week, this is the actual reveal - I'm exceptionally happy and humbled to have been included in this year's Ensemble exhibition (along with seven incredibly talented people) for the London Games Festival.

Ensemble showcases BAME (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic) UK video games talent and champions game developers from a broad spectrum of roles and a wide variety of backgrounds, and to be among seven other wonderful and inspiring peeps - Abubakar Salim, Adrian Hon, Catherine Unger, Elle Osili-Wood, Nida Ahmad, Nihal Tharoor and Rosemary Buahin - is a colossal honour. It's obviously been a difficult and anxious time of late for everyone, so it's been a blessing to have this to look forward to.
You can read more about us in Ensemble here: https://games.london/ourevents/ensemble2020/

with an Evening Standard article on us here: https://www.standard.co.uk/tech/london-games-festival-ensemble-2020-cohort-a4398416.html

and a video documentary and the physical exhibition to follow.
Oh, and more secret stuff relating to this will be revealed in the coming months... just as soon as I can stop my head from spinning.

Well, life has gotten a little crazy for all of us

Well, life has gotten a little crazy for all of us right now, to say the least... hope you're all safe and well.
Trying to stay sane in the maelstrom, I nearly forgot about another big announcement coming next week that I've had to keep under my hat for a while. More soon... #writing #writerslife #videogames #blackwriters #gaming #writersofcolor #writersofinstagram #amwriting #videogamewriting #videogamewriter #playstation #fictionwriter

Celebrating my *cough* 40-something birthday with a frighteningly accurate drawing of myself, created by my good friend's daughter on her iPad. (She wasn't meaning to create me, as she'd not seen me in over a year. I have no idea how this happened, but I'll be calling Professor X.) #writersofcolor #writersofinstagram #blackwriters #amwriting #writerslife

Had an amazing time last week on the Writing for V

Had an amazing time last week on the Writing for Video Games panel (alongside the talented trio of Hannah Wood, Jack Attridge and Caroline Marchal) for @britishfilminstitute's #futurefilmfest, with some wonderfully engaged students and smart questions - and Anna Mansi was a great and lovely host.
Edgar Wright had a tough act to follow (...or something) 😉 🤣
