Sunday - My Summer's Over
=== Thoughts ===
I'm not rightly sure where my last days of freedom have gone, but there they go!
New job begins tomorrow and I'm tentatively excited. There'll be a period of adjustment - always is - but I am hopeful that this is for the best.
Wish me luck!
=== What I'm Writing ===
- 01/07/2026: Mostly a TTRPG Project day. This is something I've had in the works for a little while now and I'm really excited to share more, but it's not in a shape that I want to put forward for public consumption just yet. Today I've scribbled down some bits I might want to add to it, thanks to some inspiration from Quinns Quest.
- 02/07/2026: Another TTRPG Project day, with a little bit of some commission design briefs on the side. I'm trying to get back to commissioning art, since it brings me so much joy, and I've found a project I'm really excited for.
- 03/07/2026: Not quite writing, but today I've spent my creative efforts on a commission brief. How exciting!
- 04/07/2026: More TTRPG Project writing, but also made progress on one of my Commissions! Good day all told.
- 05/07/2026: Still more TTRPG Project writing. Little and often is the way.
- 06/07/2026: Say it with me, folks: TTRPG Project writing!
- 07/07/2026: Fourth verse, same as the first? Fifth? Sixth? I did TTRPG Project stuff today, is what I'm saying.
- 08/07/2026: I finished up the first draft of a Commission and drafted some TTRPG Project ideas. Having physical notebooks has really helped me in getting thoughts out of my brain.
- 09/07/2026: More TTRPG Project writing!
- 10/07/2026 - 12/07/2026: I spent my downtime on the holiday scribbling more ideas for the TTRPG Project.
- 13/07/2026 - 14/07/2026: It's the One Page RPG Jam 2026, and I'm going to be submitting something. I've been drafting the 0.2 version of my One Page RPG, and it's been super exciting to get something out there.
- 15/07/2026 - 16/07/2026: Final edits, layout and publishing of Only Scattered Things, my One Page RPG!
- 17/07/2026 - 19/06/2026: More TTRPG Project, ahead of a big commission push next week!
