cidney: Applying lipstick. (lipstick)
So -- a week ago I was all genuinely excited to start NaNoWriMo! I had an outline and little character sheets for all of the key characters, all nicely typed out and ready to go. I figured I was as prepared as prepared could be...

...and, tonight, half an hour before I'm allowed to start writing, I just want to go hide and not have to write anything again ever. :) I haven't been writing regularly since...gah, nearly the beginning of the year? I'm out of practice. I vaguely know the story I want to tell, but I'm not sure I'm capable of telling it well enough.

I'm sure I'll be fine, that this is just performance anxiety...but, bleah. I can complain about it on the Internet if I want to. So I'm complaining about it on the Internet right now. :)

Happy almost July 4th!

I've spent the past couple days playing "A Dance with Rogues" [insert link here], which TV Tropes describes as:

A famed (or infamous) Neverwinter Nights two part module that won module of the year in 2006.

A Dance with Rogues (ADwR) is based around the Neverwinter Nights rogue class. It's notable for being Darker and Edgier as well as as Hotter and Sexier than the original Neverwinter Nights campaign, with an original storyline that has been highly praised. The module is epic in scope, taking a character from 1st level to 17th-19th level.


When it is good, it's *good*. Really, really good. It's got a lot of what I really appreciate in an RPG -- the ability to really roleplay a character, immerse yourself in a world that's much bigger than you, interact with a lot of interesting and dynamic NPCs, and still have challenging and rewarding gameplay. ADwR satisfies all of these things -- but, then, there's the sex.

Cut for length )

Overall, I'm really enjoying this game. Probably the best Neverwinter Nights module I've ever played (and I've played some that were quite excellent). I'm not sure if I'd recommend it to anyone else, though. ([profile] autumnlady, I know you well enough to say you'd like this. anyone else...um, I'd need to think about it.)

True story: I'm leaving the house, it's 90+ degrees out, and I've been wearing black jeans and a black T-shirt all day. Black clothes are really unpleasantly hot in 90 degree weather. So I decide to put on a white T-shirt and a light green skirt. Problem solved, right?

This makes me feel very awkward and self-conscious throughout the day, to the point where I change at a rest stop. Black skirt, dark blue tank top. Yay! Now I'm able to relax! I feel much beter.

...I wear a lot of black, or dark colors. It's kind of accidental. I didn't realize it was a Thing. Apparently it is, though.

I moved in with my SO! He had a spare bedroom that he was using to store things; but he cleaned it out, and now I have this room all to myself. I spent most of Memorial Day weekend dealing with this; packing, unpacking, and moving.

Cut for domesticity. Because, seriously. Who wants to read about domesticity? )

There's...gah. So much I need to do now, now that the pressure of moving is off!

Things for next month:

--preparations for tabletop game I'm theoretically running (I have players and everything and OMG ack I have to do this now ack!)
--figure out (by tomorrow) if I'm doing Camp NaNoWriMo. It's really addictive and actually gets me to write, but I really don't have time. Really.
--actually go to the social events I've been meaning to go to, because social has been scary for way too long and I've really had more than enough time to spend at home. also, seeing people that I'm not living with has sounded like a good idea for more reasons than "I'm a bad person if I don't go out and interact with people."
--hey! I wrote this game script! it's all finished and stuff, and it's sitting on my hard drive and rotting. I should figure out what to do with it someday.
--stop! using! exclamation! points!
