Hey everyone: I have a bit of a serious announcement. Something increasingly difficult for me is balancing being a public figure with work. I want to help everyone that writes. Problem is, things that take 20 minutes keep piling up. It's at a point where it's affecting my work. I don't get paid for my work for WIT. And, I can't advocate with credibility if I don't work in the field. I need to focus more on work. I have fought and bled on the front lines for WIT. I have done unpaid work all year. I have suffered unspeakable trauma. All of that is for naught if I can't run my business. Thank you for understanding. <3

Everyone, I am deluged with email, Tweets, friend requests, professional contacts etc to the point I have to have an assistant for help. It makes me feel terrible when people get their feelings hurt when I can’t respond.

I read everything, can’t respond to everything."

I need help. I have got to get back to making games. Here's where you come in: If you appreciate what I do, please chip in so I can hire some help with the Women in Tech advocacy I do. I need someone to help me with the medial [sic] parts of dealing with my attackers so I can focus on my work, making and shipping games.
