Goals!

With a number of interests comes a need for goals to manage them all.

Here's what I'm currently working on:

Draumrfold recaps and write-ups; since I'm running 3 separate campaigns in this setting, I need to be better at keeping track of what happens in each. I am working on taking better notes, and I'd like to create a space for my own recaps of what is happening with the PC's as well as what's happening behind the scenes that they don't see so that I can move the story forward.

Write 500 words a day. Ultimately, this should help me toward my goal of writing a novel. However, since I haven't been doing any writing lately, I'm considering it a win to get 500 words of any sort written on a daily basis. My hope is that this will encourage me to make it a habit that I can build on even further.

Cardio 3x per week, yoga daily. I've developed a "Fencer's Flow" that I'm still tweaking, but I'm hopeful that it will help maintain balance between my left and right sides, since fencing so dramatically impacts your dominant side.

Clean out garage and purge all the useless/unused things. I am in hard core cleaning mode right now, and getting rid of anything that doesn't serve a purpose. I'm tired of clutter in the house, so I'll be working hard to get rid of that and get the basement cleaned out so that we can look at adding a 2nd bathroom (even a half bath would be great.)

That's all for now! What goals are you working on?

Life...and the beginning of a new blog.

I've had a lot going on lately! Things seem to change so fast these days, I can hardly keep up.

Notably, a new blog is in the works. Welcome! Writing more often has been a goal of mine for quite some time. You can't get better at something if you don't practice! So, here we are.

I've started a few new hobbies: D&D, both as a player and a DM; sword fighting, both HEMA and sport fencing (and light sabers, oh my!); and I'm venturing into the world of trading as well.

In addition to these things, you'll find the normal geekery and parenting stuffs around these parts: the occasional con, my love of Geek Girl Pen Pals and Geek Girl Brunch, Star Wars, and whatever else randomly strikes my fancy.

Enjoy your stay!

<3,

A.
