I am wasting so much time. For months now, I’ve been wasting time: because I’ve been tired, because I’ve been overworked, because I’ve been stressed. I’ve complained about it on here and elsewhere, but I haven’t really done much about it.
No more excuses, no more delays. Today is the day I start writing and don’t stop. Gotta get back into it one way or another, and discipline is my way.
The more I think about alignment, both my own and God’s, the more I deviate from the standard assumptions made about Good and Law.
Oh, hello there.
Brief recap inside of what did and did not happen this wonderful, phenomenal Winter Break.
I don’t even feel [too] bad about not writing. April made the excellent observation that I really oughtn’t put a ton of pressure on myself to get everything done and caught up in the one week I have off a year. I should enjoy the time instead, and work harder to build writing time into my daily schedule instead of forcing a lot of it into this week. I was gratified by this and went right on playing Dragon Age.
I’ve had too much coffee tonight as a means of fueling my Dungeon Mastering, so I thought I’d write a bit before going to bed.
I enjoy playing D&D. I don’t know that I particularly enjoy running the game, and I certainly don’t prepare much when I must run it, but if the options are “run the game” vs “no D&D,” then I choose the former.
For me, the whole point of the endeavor is to build a story together, to laugh and share good times, and to find out what happens next. I come to each session with a rough framework and an idea of what will happen now and what will happen next, but I don’t prepare overly much. Part of that is because I’m afraid I’ll railroad my players if I do over-prepare, and part of it is certainly that I’m busy and don’t want to take the time to work on D&D a whole lot, but there’s something to be said for how fun impromptu creation is.
We’ve got a number of social engagements coming up, and maybe you’d like to come to them? I don’t know but if you did, here they are.
Rather than D&D, we’ll be playing Runebound and could use 1-2 more players if people are interested 
We’ll be carving some pumpkins for our upcoming Halloween Party, so bring one or use one of ours!
From six to midnight we’ll be handing out candy and having a grand ‘ole time with themed costumes and terrifying food. Also, Scooby Dooby Doo!
If you live near us, bring a side dish and join us for dinner!
As difficult as it is to type, I hate writing by hand and have work that needs doing, namely the creation of a Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Farsight is the base town for the adventurers, a sleepy hamlet of drunkards trying to forget.
First, it’s not a clavix. My mistake.
Second, we have met with our local doctor, which was much more fruitful. He gauged my movement, showed me a stretching exercise I should do, and made me an appointment with an orthopedic specialist on Friday. They will be the one to decide if I need surgery or not.
I’m not taking any pain meds, other than the occasional ibuprofen, and am generally in very little pain. The first afternoon/evening was pretty hard, but that can partially be attributed to the concussion, shock, and dehydration. Sleeping at night isn’t particularly comfortable, but it’s manageable. I have discovered that my SumoSac is perhaps the most wonderful piece of furniture ever.
