Project Listing

[atolnon]

I do this very rarely. I've been juggling projects, so I feel like it might be good for me.

Active Projects:
Unnamed novel. - very rough draft, started
Unnamed Serial Experiments: Lain fiction - research, locating previous written work, layout, conceptual drafting
Tournament prep, R/G/B Standard - There's one Standard tournament, and I'm wanting to go. To that end, the deck is mostly finalized, but the project isn't over until I wrap it up or drop. 

Back-burner:
Layout for Dream, RPG - I just haven't done it. I'm rubbish with art, so I wanted to use some photos, but I've had to put those on the back burner as well until I fix my computer. Considering dropping all art, altogether. My concept for this is fragile. It's so generic that it's hard to associate art with it.
Structuring of NWoD Adventure - No real incentive. Just doing it for kicks. Briefly considered submission of project.
Exalted Game & Website - May move this up to an active project if the game looks like it'll become active again. Seems like a godd excuse to work on web design chops and writing.

Associated:
NExalted - Fan project that Brantai is working on. It's not even really for release, I don't guess, but if he finishes it, I suppose it may - may - be on a website. It's a game mashup. It's pretty wicked cool. He's busy and it's not really my vision, so I really only contribute when he brings it up. I don't think I'm currently associated with any other projects.

I've read a series of books this year. Maybe already 10 times what I read last year. If there's any interest at all, I might post a reading list. Allandros, from rpg.net, did on his LJ and it was interesting to me. I don't know how others feel. There were a bunch of books I borrowed though, and I can't remember all of those anymore. So I guess it's be a little sketchy.

No real reason for posting today. I just wanted to kind of write this out and see what I was really focusing on. I was going to limit it to paper journal, but I re-read and see these a little more and wanted to keep it in mind. It goes on LJ because this is my gaming-stuff and work blog. I mostly keep personal musing on Xanga, which I'm debating these days.

I'm glad you're enjoying the reading list! I find that keeping a log a) helps me feel good about what I've read, b) allows me to consciously think about what I'm going to read, and c) prevents me from rereading simple and well-worn books I've already gone through many times before. For example, now I'm less likely to flip through Feist's Midkemia stuff, because I've read it all several times already.

I kind of feel the same way with the project listing. It helps me feel good about finishing something up and it keeps me on track so that I don't spend a lot of time on something I'm doing literally just to kill time. Like hanging out on the internet when I'm not at work!

Brantai mentioned I spend a lot of time talking about Magic on here, and it's really not of interest to anyone else but me, so I'll probably be keeping most of that to myself, though.

I didn't mean to discourage. The journal's supposed to be as much about what's interesting to you as anything.

No worries. Basically my thinking was that there were M:tG players that read the LJ, they might comment, but otherwise it's like listing a character sheet : nobody really cares, even if they're happy you're enjoying your games.

I will probably post on how Friday and Saturday go, though. It's more likely to be about how I enjoyed it and how well I did, but I've already made late-period changes on the deck itself, and those are unlikely to be posted.
