My review of Race for the Galaxy's iconography got selected for review of the week:

I'm grateful that it got selected, grateful and a little embarrassed. I wasn't too happy with how the review turned out; I had more ambitious ideas about going into more detail but I ran out of spoons, and then I (as the emotional creature I am) couldn't gracefully handle the designer's reaction.

I'm also grateful that some people have written in saying I write well; I still see tons of mistakes in all my texts and I just wish I had the spoons and time to edit endlessly. I'm exhausted.

But I'm glad. As a kid it was always "she seems to like math but she can't write, so she must hate free writing" and I'm like no. Maybe I just hate pencils and QWERTY. I got frustrated by writing because the ideas fired faster than my pencil could keep up. Shorthand, mindmaps, Dvorak, text-editors all have helped.

And a willingness to say "heck it, this is never getting done, let's hit send"
