Ok, I am registered for NYC Midnight/1K word challenge, which starts on May 31. So good heavens, I better start writing again.
Fortunately, I am heading up to our cabin (see picture upper right on blog) this weekend and should have some quiet time and, hopefully, inspiration. I have started two different stories this past week, but I am still stuck in the gate with both of them. Neil Gaiman says you have to finish things. Fingers crossed.
I am also committing to reading more. I am currently half-way through Huck Finn, which is obviously amazing. I just picked up four books printed on actual paper, which I hope to tackle this summer: Siddhartha, Roadside Picnic, Children of Time, and A Fire Upon the Deep. I also ordered Consider Phlebas, which should arrive tomorrow. Based on my reading speed, this will be very ambitious, and maybe a more realistic EOY goal.
If anyone wants to do a read along on any of these, let me know!
On the game dev front I have been experimenting in Unity (as opposed to following a course), and trying out a number of packages from the asset store. I am gaining confidence and despair at the same time. Everything is easy and hard at the same time. And I am not artistic! (though I do have a very skilled daughter I will deploy once her school year wraps up :-))
peace, greg
Appreciated!
