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!
