07/12/2023 Plotting, Chapter Work, and Resisting Distractions (Plus Casey!)

During the evenings, when I sit down and ready for writing, I set my priorities and chores. I’ll go over the campaign plots and make minor adjustments to work in the suggestions from players, look ahead for the next session (Players: sessions are available, so send them requests!) or fill out the calendar a bit, write a little in the Sidewinder Stories, and then I hunker down into the work-in-progress (WIP), “Peregrine: Rising”.

Once we get to the last one, it’s a struggle. Not just from exhaustion, but from distracting bits of other stories floating about in this attic I call a brain.

The Interstellar Tall Tales always looks interesting, and the Shadowrun story is downright fun. But neither are in the priority list at the moment.

So of course, I get distracted by reading them over again, until I realize what I’m doing and say out loud, “Dammit boy, get back to work!”

This will be an ongoing process until I finish the story. I know.

While I go about this fun day-to-day, I present Casey!

Stay safe out there, readers.
