I found a fascinating article this morning on NPR titled, "Researchers say time is an illusion. So why are we all obsessed with it?" As a kid who grew up loving time travel stories, I wish I could wrap my head around the science of it. Unfortunately, I was a liberal arts student.
TWO THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR (SPECIFIC)
1. I went and got my haircut yesterday. It's amazing how little things like a professional trim can help make you feel like a person again, not to mention the social aspect, seeing as my barber and I went to university together. Before Covid, I was aggressively social. I miss it.
2. Today I want to shout out Sebastian and Dominique, two TTRPG folks that have been kindly answering my questions as I <gestures vaguely at the world) figure all this out. Just gotta keep chipping at that wall.
ONE THING THAT WENT WELL DURING THE DAY
I mean, I'm pretty happy with the haircut, but besides that, I did get more done on the D&D One Shot. I feel like it's really starting to come together. It's almost D&D-shaped. I'm starting to reach the point where I might need other folk's eyes on it, but not yet. We're close.
ONE ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL ACTION ITEM FOR THE DAY
I saw a job posting for a Marketing Assistant. It's outside of games but as my therapist keeps reminding me, I am unemployed. The last time I was in the service industry I broke down hard. I just don't know what's the best approach at this point, shotgun blast or laser focus.
WHATEVER IS ON MY MIND
It's been interesting, transitioning from running homebrew adventures for my friends and actually trying to write one down. At the table, I'm happy to improvise but on this, I'm anxious and my thoughts keep spiraling that it's not good enough. It's not an unfamiliar feeling.
None of this is terribly surprising. I feel anxious about my writing on the regular, it's just a process I have way more experience with. I've been writing stories since the third grade. This is my first written One-Shot. I'm learning as I go.
