Welcome back!
Hi there – it’s been a while. In the past two years, a lot has changed. I’ve never been very good at honest to God ‘blog posts’, but I’ll try catch whoever’s interested up in the most concise way possible. For starters, I began university in September 2021 at the University of Bristol (doing, of…

Creative Burnout (from the perspective of some random kid with ADHD)
In February this year, I was diagnosed with combined type ADHD. After years of not really knowing why I was so constantly distracted, so sensitive to the needs of others, and so easily addicted to the smallest of things, I finally had an explanation that fit, and helped me both explain some of my traits…

The Last of Us: An Elegy (or, Why Video Games Are Literature)

7 Things I’ve Learnt Since Starting To Write Fiction (Again)
Hi there. Long time no talk – although, to be fair, who am I really talking to?

I first heard about Cardboard Computer’s Kentucky Route Zero at the Videogames: Design/Play/Disrupt exhibition at the V&A in London. Compared to Le Blanc Seing, the game caught my eye, a surrealistic piece, and a surrealistic piece I got. Kentucky Route Zero is just that: a piece, a string of experiences, separate and yet so, so…
