Joel Auterson

Hello! My name's Joel and I'm a software developer. No, not that one.

I run a tiny indie game studio called Bearwaves. I'm also a published poet.

I'm part of the Rare Mammals collective, and am an alumnus of Southbank New Poets and Barbican Young Poets. I work in the games industry.

Once again fallen into the trap of finding new ways to make writing on my blog easier instead of spending that time writing on my blog

Last day of honeymoon today! I suspect going back from this to London winter is going to be a bit jarring

Just did my first 10K in over a decade (a few months after doing my first 5K in about the same time). Wasn’t fast but I didn’t stop! Feeling very proud of myself
