Howdy folks, how are we all doing today?

I got up in decent time this morning, and got stuck into War Child and wrote 1192 words but didn’t edit any. The chapter I’ve got to is quite bare bones, but has a few elements that need building out. I think when I wrote this part originally, I knew what I wanted to say, but didn’t necessarily have enough depth for a few of the characters that are being fleshed out. There’s also matters that happened in the previous chapter that I hadn’t really talked about despite needing to.

I spent about an hour working on War Child and then gamed a little and crashed out before taking my folks to an appointment. I’m trying to listen to what my body needs, and something that I’ve really realised that I need to get more or better sleep, but I also think I need a little more brain shutdown time. When I say brain shutdown, I mean not writing, not gaming, watching a movie or TV show. Although that’s not exactly doing nothing, its a damn site less taking on me. I haven’t done much of that in the recent years, my brain goes a thousand miles an hour and writing and gaming are two things that do help quiet my mind. I need to rediscover doing nothin while watching something, or reading again.

While my folks were at their appointment I parked up, and fired my laptop up and did some work on the Penal Earth 2 ending. Like what I wrote this morning, I’m fleshing a few details out and I quite like what I wrote. It got into some of the characters motivations and I think gives a softer side of them.

So, I’m pretty happy with today’s progress. I passed my twenty hour writing target for the month as well.

Last night I watched The Oman, and I’m not sure what I’m gonna watch tonight yet.

Tomorrow, back at it and hoping to make more progress on War Child.
