Okay, so it’s not actually a weather update so much as a Sloth update. But weather just sounds more fun, plus it reminds me of Bill Wurtz’s History of the Entire World I Guess.

Some news about me:

• I finished knitting one sock and started another vs finishing the second sock

• I realized my pen pals are having a BABY and therefore need to speed knit a baby blanket to send to them

• This is the second time I am speed knitting a baby blanket

• After the first time, I said never again…

• I had another virtual D&D session and it went BEAUTIFULLY—more on that soon, I promise

• I woke up in a fugue state this morning and crafted a loosely based off of Monster of the Week and Dungeons and Daddies “Monsters and Mommies” game after talking to one of my players who also loves D-A-D and came up with some beautiful Mom Archetypes and plot lines that will become a side one shot for the party

• (me, telling my collaborateur about my creative method: “they come to me in my dreams like a prophet receiving visions from an angry god“)

• I will be posting the full fun module(s) when I finish creating it, depending on when that is

• Work on the other modules (two sessions and a campaign bible) is mostly finished, now I just have to collect it together and find a place to post and/or list it.

• I’m thinking maybe Etsy?? Another service???

• Much to think on—if anyone has suggestions let me know

In unrelated fun news, here’s what I’m reading:

• Finished! - Range - David Epstein (why generalists succeed where specialists fail)

• In Progress - The Monster of the Week manual, for research purposes

• In Progress - Save the Cat!: The Last Book on Screenwriting You’ll Ever Need - Blake Snyder

• Just Started - Because Internet - Gretchen McCulloch (Linguistics book on the internet)

• On Deck: Patton: A Genius for War and the Silent Patient (and about 50 more books….)

Other than that, it’s been a fairly productive week for me! I’m almost nearly done with one of my courses from a previous post and getting a lot of stuff on paper, which is always helpful for me. Should have a better post next week as this weekend is a three day weekend!

Toodles,
