It sounds like you’ve had a really sucky time of late, so you have my sympathies and support!

I know that when I was going through my most difficult periods (2010, around when I joined Kombo, was the worst, but it’s been off and on pretty much ever since) having an outlet where I was free to write whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, however I wanted was so valuable. And that’s why I kept my personal blog going for so long — and why I have my current creative projects MoeGamer and Atari A to Z. They quite literally keep me sane.

I hope you can find similar value from all this, and it’ll be great to see your writing again!

]]> Comment on A Setback for Summer by Kelly https://www.crunchychocobo.com/2018/05/a-setback-for-summer/#comment-18772 Wed, 30 May 2018 02:36:53 +0000 http://www.crunchychocobo.com/?p=877#comment-18772 Powerful post. Thank you for sharing your journey. Being a mom is hard, being a mom that doesn’t worry is impossible. My saying is worry about what you can control and control what you worry about. And I violate that ALL the time.

And yes that is cliche but some of the hardest times in my life turned out to be the best learning experiences that took me to far better places that I had no idea existed previously. I had no idea you were going through all of this. The last few times I’ve seen you, you seemed like you didn’t want to talk so I let it go. Prayers to you and G.

]]> Comment on That Time I Was Editor-in-Chief for Two Weeks… by Chandler https://www.crunchychocobo.com/2016/06/that-time-i-was-editor-in-chief-two-weeks/#comment-18770 Tue, 21 Jun 2016 04:54:29 +0000 http://www.crunchychocobo.com/?p=824#comment-18770 Keri, you are awesome. I know that being awesome and other people saying you are awesome doesn’t pay the bills (trust me, I’ve tried), but the most important thing I got out of this is that you recognize it wasn’t your fault — which perhaps sucks even more, given that it shows we’re in a volatile and unstable industry. People seem to think there’s some sort of glamour around what we do, but while it’s fun, the fact is that there’s a lot of uncertainty and tough times being a games writer, no matter how well off it may seem that you are. Thanks for sharing your feelings on this.

You’re an awesome writer who will be on her feet in no time. ActionTrip may have been home, but you deserve a much better site to belong to, and with your talent, you’ll find one, particularly now that you’re a defacto PSLS and GameRevolution writer.

I look forward to bossing you around for months to come at PSLS.

I know you’ll be writing more and more. You’re too good and too enthusiastic about an industry you love to be kept down. 🙂

I’ve known for you six years and I’ve never seen you shy away from the hustle. I’ll be right beside you this time. Let’s get it, girl. Smooches forever and ever.
