My Actifit Report Card: August 21 2019

Well, someone tried (and failed) to phish me this morning and I’m getting a lot more spam on the email address associated with my blog. I could be upset, but I’m just going to take that as a sign that I’m taking off.

Didn’t get more things by number of things completed done today than I did yesterday, but my writing volume was up a little. My writing for @loreshapergames has been way up; I decided to split my current series into six parts, but I really could (should, even, since I’m writing 3000 word monsters of pieces) probably have stretched it into more. I’m even doing illustrations for it, though they’re not necessarily good.

It got me thinking about writing a book. I keep starting and then not finishing books. It’s a chronic problem for me. But by the time this series is done it’ll be 10-15k words, which is practically a small book. Combine that with the fact that I’ve been averaging at least a couple thousand more words every day, and you’re left with an obvious question: why am I not writing books?

Some of that has to do with research; people would want to see more in a book, and you generally have other stuff to think of as well. All the same, I think I could pull off a book or two if I really wanted to. I also need to finish my role archetypes series for @loreshapergames, now that I think of it. I’ve actually misplaced my link to the big overarching index, so that’s a bit of a pain to find again among all my other output.

Exercise-wise, today was a bit of a wash. I was late getting out of bed, which meant that I took a short walk today.

I did get some great pictures of ducks, though.

They were sleeping when I came around the bend.

Some of them got up and were very vigilant, others immediately went back to sleep.

They were docile enough for me to get close enough to take this before any of them started getting agitated.

There were also quite a few turtles.
