1) I played NationStates too! I haven't read Jennifer Government yet, but it's in my Audible queue.
2) That line about "I live in my head" really resonated with me, because honestly, I live a lot in my head too. It makes sense. This is a brilliant interview!
Nice interview, finally got to hear the voice behind the screen. And don't worry, you got the pronunciation right.
I like the conlang talk. It's interesting to see Scoot's way of approaching language and how to apply it in fiction. I have a much less systematic approach, probably because Indonesian is my native language and in its spoken/informal form, it's basically a creole language.
Speaking of language, I once joked about how I'm trilingual because I understand three languages: English, Indonesian, and Malay.
Anyways, looking forward to working together in Bima Sakti.
Congrats, you guys! This is a real Scoot d'etat.
Great interview! I love to learn about other writers' processes.
Enjoyed this deep dive into Scoot’s writing. Great stuff!

It's pronounced "Mack-a-burr" like old man Mackerel!
