A Playtron's Guide
Before adopting the moniker/pen name of Tinka Boudit, I was a ten year attendee of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. I go in costume. I shop, see shows, I made friends with cast members, vendors, and other attendees. I go every weekend for seven weekends. Those of us who do this are known as 'playtrons'. As in we play along, but we are patrons who pay the ticket fee to be there; we do not work there. I've also volunteered my time in a booth for three other seasons. I officially joined the cast in 2019.

How to write a Novella?
Writing a novella is slightly more ambitious than writing a short story and not as burdensome as writing a novel, so the saying goes. A novella is roughly thirty thousand words designed to bridge the gap between the two. So what's the big deal? If you apply yourself, most writers can whip one of these out in just a few days, right? So, you clear your schedule and prepare your writing area so you may focus completely on your novella. Follow along as I share with you what my process looked like when I wrote Gabriel's Sword.

How to get through the day at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival
Before adopting the moniker/pen name of Tinka Boudit, I was a ten year attendee of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. I go in costume. I shop, see shows, I made friends with cast members, vendors, and other attendees. I go every weekend for seven weekends. Even after attending the festival since 2006, I still find new things to experience every year. Those of us who do this are known as 'playtrons'. As in we play along, but we are patrons who pay the ticket fee to be there; we do not work there. I've also volunteered my time in a booth for three seasons starting in 2016. I officially joined the cast in 2019.

An ideal work environment for programmers and developers
Managing programmers is not for the faint of heart. There is even a book that equates ‘programmers’ with ‘the unmanageable’. It’s a great book by the way, and all of us who manage or wish to manage programmers should read it.

A Brief Guide to Worldbuilding (And Why It's Not That Important)
"Worldbuilding" is one of those concepts that ebbs and flows in writing communities. It's a non-topic, and then suddenly it's the only thing anyone wants to talk about - and when worldbuilding is at its high water mark, there are resources in abundance to address it. There are checklists, map builders, podcasts, worksheets, books, and hundreds if not thousands of articles on this allegedly all-important topic. At times it seems like the only thing an aspiring novelist should care about.
