S02:E11 | Creative Chat with Nychelle Schneider: Painting Worlds, Writing Through Trauma, and Creating in Community
Manage episode 374348983 series 3432438
It's time for another Creative Chat, this time with one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I've ever met: writer and game developer Nychelle Schneider. Nychelle and I sat down for a wonderful conversation about her creative backstory (which includes Remote-Operated Vehicle builds!), and also:
- how she fell in love with writing (and is now getting an MFA in it);
- how her Pacific Northwest indigeneity informs her own science fiction (I love her thoughts on the interplay of cultural erasure and world-building); and
- how deep research underpins the rich and robust worlds she builds in roleplaying games (she's got nudibranch lore on lock).
This chat was one for the books; I'm sure you'll love Nychelle just as much as I do by the end. <3
Happy listening, and, as always, take care, keep creating, and stay divine!
