In the verdant realms of the Pacific Northwest, nestled in the fair city of Vancouver, resides Jesse Fontyn — a father, explorer, creator, and devoted nerd enthusiast. This blog serves as my creative outlet and personal platform, where I share my experiences in the fascinating worlds of storytelling, gaming, outdoor exploration, nerd culture, and parenting, all while navigating the challenges of living with bipolar disorder. As a nerd and gaming enthusiast, I’m always excited to share my experiences in tabletop games such as “Dungeons and Dragons,” as well as video games like “World of Warcraft,” “Skyrim,” and “The Witcher.” My passion for storytelling and writing emerged during my young adult years when I began leading a D&D group. Eager to improve, I researched ways to craft better stories and acquired the tools necessary for growth. Today, I continue to learn from authors such as Robert McKee and virtually from other experts in the field, like those found on “youtube/savagebooks,” Jenna Moreci, and Abbie Emmons. Now, armed with new skills and a desire to tell stories, I take up the mantle of storyteller and writer. I encourage thought and discussion from my readers, share stories and anecdotes about my triumphs and often comical failures, and offer introspective thoughts about the world around me.
