Hi everyone :)
I was lucky enough to win a miniature from the 'Shattered Hell' Kickstarter from Crippled God Foundry, and I thought I would do a video unboxing and review. At the time of writing there are 8 days left of the Kickstarter, and you can find it at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crippledgodfoundry/shattered-hell If you want to check out their other stuff, head over to https://www.crippledgodfoundry.com/

Hi everyone :)
It seems like at this time of year there are a lot of themed months to encourage us to be creative. We've just come to the end of October, when programmes exist to encourage us to draw/paint/art everyday. As we're now into November, we're at the beginning of NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. Broadly speaking, NaNoWriMo is an initiative to encourage people to write 50,000 words of a novel throughout November. For those interested, that's 1666 2/3 words a day (I assume you're not meant to do exactly the same amount each day!). For more information, check out https://nanowrimo.org/. I've decided that this year I'm going to take inpiration from NaNoWriMo, but do my own thing. To be clear, I have nothing against NaNoWriMo, and if you're undertaking it I wish you the best of luck! It's not that I don't want to write a novel either, I actually have some ideas which have been in my brain for a long time. The issue is simply that having another thing on my plate in the form of novel writing would, I feel, be counterproductive when I already have things I feel like I'm not dedicating time to. For the month of November I've decided to dedicate some time to writing in the form of supplements for D&D and other TTRPGs, which is something I managed to spend time on early in the year but have really struggled to finish in the last few months. I've set myself the goal of releasing a supplement each week of November. That sounds like a big ask, but I have ideas in a variety of levels of completion which I need to actually get out there. They're not doing anyone any good incomplete on my computer! As I mentioned above, I have nothing against NaNoWriMo or any of the other creative themed months. They can work wonderfully for some people, but I know others who have felt an unmanageable amount of pressure. My interpretation of these initiatives is that they are designed to inspire and nudge rather than smother with pressure, and if you can find a way to make them work for you then go for it! I would encourage you to find that inspiration without feeling the need to stick to the letter of the principal if that doesn't work for you :) I'll keep you updated with how it's going for me, and I'd love to hear from you how your NaNoWriMo or other project is going, whether you're doing it traditionally or not! |
