Revenge of the Homework Dog

The busy-ness I mentioned last fortnight was a roleplaying convention, which was fun … but also very intense.

I’m travelling again this weekend, and to my chagrin I forgot to bring last week’s torn page. So my stats are incomplete.

In the interest of keeping to a schedule, the figures I have show:

  • got to sleep around 1:30 a.m. on average. I also lost an hour of sleep due to Daylight Savings, but had lots of chances to sleep in to make up for it. Overall, 7 hours a night.
  • I made 7 things:
    • Two nights of D&D prep, now I’ve sorted out the printer;
    • A small piece of writing;
    • Repairs, to some literal loose ends on old clothes;
    • Emails, for metaphorical loose ends ordering new clothes;
    • And I talked to people at the con, which is an activity I need more practice in.
    • Plus, something called “RR” in my notes. I don’t recall what this was, but presumably I thought it was important 🙂
  • Finally I finished reading two things:
    • Exit, by Belinda Bauer, which had some quite pleasant wordplay (and more Pixar references than I expected).
    • Worldbuilding Pasta’s “An Apple Pie From Scratch” series. I’d hoped this would help one of my current stories, and it was super interesting. But I’ve realised what I need to world-build right now is language, which the series hasn’t reached.

D&D continues well.

The PCs, once again, nearly managed to lose all their accumulated clues. But they recovered well, got their bearings, and are now on track for their next target.
