Hello, writerly friends!





Hello, writerly friends!

In these last few years I’ve made a lot (and I do mean a lot) of Story Seeds, and writing prompts. Of course, during that time people kept asking me if I would compile them into a book… and I said I would never do that.

Why, when I can just make more Story Seeds! :D

What you see above is my latest book: 400 Story Seeds to Crush Writer’s Block. The book is filled, to the brim, with ALL-NEW Story Seeds by yours truly!

What are Story Seeds, you ask?

The Movers return, this time with a vengeance!

Welcome back to ‘Max Plays’, a gaming segment where I play through a story-focused video game and examine the way that it builds a narrative. This time around I am playing through a big one! None other than Square’s finest: Final Fantasy IX. In this game we take the role of a ragtag party of characters, and partake in a story that at first appears to be about war between two great nations— but there’s more to it than meets the eye. Prepare for wha...

The mission that never ends!

Welcome back to Max Plays! This time around I’m playing through the Metal Gear game everyone forgot existed— no, I’m not talking about Ghost Babel. It’s Metal Gear Acid, a crazy twist on a crazy franchise. Turn-based stealth tactics AND a collectable card game? I must’ve died and gone to Outer Heaven!

Want more of my silliness? Check out the links below!
