A Playtron's Guide
Before adopting the moniker/pen name of Tinka Boudit, I was a ten year attendee of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. I go in costume. I shop, see shows, I made friends with cast members, vendors, and other attendees. I go every weekend for seven weekends. Those of us who do this are known as 'playtrons'. As in we play along, but we are patrons who pay the ticket fee to be there; we do not work there. I've also volunteered my time in a booth for three other seasons. I officially joined the cast in 2019.

So, you clear your schedule and prepare your writing area so you may focus completely on your novella. Follow along as I share with you what my process looked like when I wrote Gabriel's Sword.

How to get through the day at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival
Before adopting the moniker/pen name of Tinka Boudit, I was a ten year attendee of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. I go in costume. I shop, see shows, I made friends with cast members, vendors, and other attendees. I go every weekend for seven weekends. Even after attending the festival since 2006, I still find new things to experience every year. Those of us who do this are known as 'playtrons'. As in we play along, but we are patrons who pay the ticket fee to be there; we do not work there. I've also volunteered my time in a booth for three seasons starting in 2016. I officially joined the cast in 2019.

An ideal work environment for programmers and developers
Managing programmers is not for the faint of heart. There is even a book that equates ‘programmers’ with ‘the unmanageable’. It’s a great book by the way, and all of us who manage or wish to manage programmers should read it.
