I have an M.A. in English; authored numerous essays, short stories, and novels; and taught critical reading and writing along with creative writing for over ten years. I raised all eight of my children as the timeline of video games unfolded. We've had, and still have, so much fun. The art and creativity that goes into a good video game is something I respect. There is much to be said and written about the subject.
