Hi, all. I'm Gavin. Here's my website: www.gavinjf.com/writing-samp... I'm a writer who's worked on a bunch of stuff including: * Clockwork Revolution * Overwatch * Baldur's Gate III * Wasteland 3 * Torment: ToN * Horizon: Zero Dawn * Other Stuff Happy to answer gamedev and writing questions!

A few days from my 48th birthday and just tracked down my missing iPhone ringing in the fridge.

It’s time for toast. Toast time.

Searching for beverages on Instacart, and look, technically not wrong.

There’s a little spider who hangs out near my sink who I talk to while washing dishes. I’ve been kind of bummed thinking my pal probably didn’t have much longer to live. It’s been months! Turns out this species can live two years! We high fived, gently.

Oh, deer can’t read? Explain this.

I shopped for clothes today and couldn't figure out why attendants lock dressing rooms when they aren't around. I have since figured it out.

It’s getting cold and rainy in Washington and I have an amazing electric blanket. You gotta celebrate your wins.

PNW weather is coming to get me.

Getting much better at this.

General writing tip: if you're bored writing something, your reader will be too. You are your most valuable critic.

3554 - I'm so thankful for the lesson that it's okay to hesitate or ask for time to think when someone asks me if I can do a thing—no matter who that person is. #gratitude #MentalHealth

Begging you to listen to this.

This isn't about games but same for games. Please don't let anyone tell you you're doing creative things "wrong", including myself. You're not here to make my things, or their things, you're here to make your things. Feedback is just another perspective - believe in yourself.

A baby pet stopped by the garage camera.

Youtube comment capturing the pain of listening to old music.

Garage camera recorded a “Cat Meow”. Sound on to judge for yourself.

Took a break from work to check my portfolio, my portfolio of swords, and yep, I still have 3 of them.

I would say "I don't want to brag" but that is such a lie. Look at this crazy shit from my bike ride today: I rode 2000 feet into the air! WITH THESE LEGS RIGHT HERE

Tried a silly little hot dog bun experiment and they’re so cute and goofy. One on the side looks like a breadstick.

First attempt at banana cinnamon twist bagel looks pretty good to me.

Didn't get eaten by cougars during my long solo walk into the hills today, but shout out to the bee who circled my head for half a mile.

“So anyway, which one of us do you think they’ll cut down first?”

me: god i'm so stupid, i feel so creatively bankrupt, i cannot write anything at all, i am devoid of any intelligent thought or idea disembodied voice of my college writing professor: open a draft and write anyway me: *immediately writes seven paragraphs in ten minutes*

Rude deer refuses to acknowledge I am a terrifying predator and continues eating leaves.

Proud to add say my job title is now "Writer/Narrative Designer, Trailblazer (literal, with machete)"

Bun

“I don’t need therapy. I can solve my own problems.” The fuck you can. The killer’s calling from inside the house.

My therapist convinced me that buying a machete is self care.

This is the smile of letters beginning "This is a friendly reminder that-"

need you all to see this deeply indescribable cooking video

I’m training myself out of pre-arguing arguments in my head because it’s just me telling me other people won’t agree with me, and why would they do that? I have a good point!

Dude obviously neither one is working

I'm very sorry to announce that I was one of the devs affected by the Obsidian layoffs today. At least for four years, it was a beautiful dream. If you need a writer with experience in everything from the fog of war to romance - especially if you're open to remote - please get in touch.

Consider that writer's block might be your brain's way of saying "Look, chill the fuck out." Ideas don't like being rushed.

Hurry up, bread.

I have stopped being a writer for the latter part of Sunday and am now a baker.

My knee hurts from the fall earlier, so I'm putting gin on it (my mouth).

Trying to nap before the fireworks start. Can’t find my sleeping mask. I am having TROUBLE
