Hey Adam thanks for sharing this and I'm glad you found my Substack. I'm on my way to watch my kid's playoff baseball game (2.5 hour drive!) but I'd love to talk to you more about your game story if you have some time maybe later this week or next. Let me know. It's good stuff! JD
I really enjoy writing game stories (or match reports as they are called in my chosen sport). I volunteered for a few years at my local semi-professional club to do exactly this and enjoyed it.
Life got in the way, so I had to give it up. I notice they never replaced me, so I gather there wasn’t a load of people reading them but I loved it all the same.
Thanks Daniel! Hey how did you find my Substack?
I recently started covering high school sports games for a local newspaper. You're absolutely right in that there's an art to writing game stories, and my process definitely isn't polished yet. But I'd like to think I'm getting there fairly quickly. Here's an example from a few weeks back: https://www.winchesterstar.com/winchester_star/strong-start-to-second-half-gives-wood-girls-a-senior-night-win-over-sherando/article_569de2e7-7193-5214-9b0f-d55abd185c90.html

Absolutely! I'm free any day next week until mid-afternoon ish.
Got a kick out of the AI field! Maybe a sort from the future?
