Just so much happened this year and, I dare say, I’m quite proud of what I have accomplished! So, shall we review this? On Unearthed Stories With regards to Unearthed Stories, the year started in the frenzy of preparing for the iPhone/iPad release, which happened in March… while at the same time I was privately racing to complete one of the most difficult and challenging stories so far: Means of Egress—a dungeon-crawler that features 182 ways of crossing it. https://liviajelliot.com/blog/2024/11-elusive-pathways/ Sun, 24 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +1000 https://liviajelliot.com/blog/2024/11-elusive-pathways/ Why write? Why fantasy or sci-fi at all? To me, at least, the gist is speculative fiction which was defined as “an encompassing genre that freely explores possibility and impossibility alike”1. That definition captures what writing means for me, as I generally use it to explore themes or ideas of interest to me and find new things. I began reading as a child, and back then, I wanted more; new things, new ideas, new characters. https://liviajelliot.com/blog/2023/7-2023review/ Sat, 23 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +1000 https://liviajelliot.com/blog/2023/7-2023review/ Hello everyone, and before anything, happy holidays! This year has been a ride, and sitting down to put everything into perspective is overwhelming. I have been writing for pretty much most of my life, and although I created my socials in 2021, it wasn’t until 2023 that I actually dared engage with people… and, most importantly, publish some of my writing, talk on YouTube (!), and begin a podcast (!!). I met some wonderful people along the way, participated in events, and faced the apprehension of putting my writing out there.
