That was an interesting read. Thank you for linking to it, Inayity. 
The way Neverwinter Nights influenced her is of great interest to me because my situation was very similar before being exposed to it. The difference is I'm no where near finishing a novel. 
Writing remains a hobby. Now I definitely have to check out her Temeraire series.

I didn't know she had worked on Neverwinter Nights, interesting. I did read the first Temeraire book a few years back and it was not a bad read. I never read the sequels though, because around that time I was starting to get tired of multi-volume fantasy series (courtesy of Robert Jordan).
