In this episode, I share with you a piece of my writing that is based on actual events. It starts with a neighbor, and two kayaks, one of which is too long to fit inside his pickup truck’s bed.
The inspiration for this story occurred on Memorial Day weekend of 2020, while the COVID-19 pandemic was happening.
I read “It Ain’t Gonna Work” on episode 056 of Words of Jen.

My Hardcore Barbarian, Ares, was ready to begin Season 21! I was looking forward to this Season because, from what I had heard, the buffs in it made the game super fun to play.
In this video, Ares ran through some Act I Bounties and got distracted by the buffs. I tried to figure out what they do, and where they came from.

Season 21 of Diablo III started a few days ago. I finally had time to get in and attempt the Challenge Rift.
This time, it was a Wizard Challenge Rift, a class that I haven’t played very much of. I had concerns that I would fail, but gave it a try anyway.

It is not clear exactly how long these wings will be made available.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected people in many ways. For me, the biggest problem wasn’t running out of toilet paper, or losing my job. What I needed, and could not immediately get, was a dental appointment.

Welcome to Jen’s Lore Corner, a podcast about the lore of the Diablo video game series. This podcast started as a segment on the Shattered Soulstone podcast. I decided to re-release those segments in their own podcast.
New content started with Episode 010.
In this episode, I continue with the lore that is connected to Sanctuary. What happened in Sanctuary… didn’t stay in Sanctuary.
Before I recorded this episode, I wrote a blog post titled: “What Happened in Sanctuary…”

Sanctuary was created by an angel named Inarius, a demon named Lilith, and a group of renegade angels and demons who wanted to opt-out of the Eternal Conflict.
For a while, they believed they were safe. They thought that Sanctuary was hidden from both the angels and the demons. But, what happened in Sanctuary didn’t stay in Sanctuary.
