So what do I do when I need a brief break from working on weddings, but still want to do something for DR?
Put in new rumors or visions. Bards and moon mages have a special place in my heart. Ya big hams.
Work on the master list of gems and plants and stuff that we GMs use. (Tyrathia, eat yer heart out)
Five-minute random rp events (something unexpected happens, but it won’t require five hours of player or GM time).
Round up the fun projects that I don’t have time to do and foist… er, see if my newer AGMs want a crack at them.
Work on rooms or messages for other big-time projects or areas that need a little extra help. (Plus then the GMs in charge of those projects owe me favors – bonus!)
Create or do quality control for unique items that will randomly go into treasure chests.
Design quest treasure.
Work on my little area that will someday go live. Someday, someday…
And last but definitely not least…
Play!
A GM’s work is never done – but often fun!
Those who know me know that I am an upbeat person, because frankly, nobody wants to hear me whine about my personal problems. Hey, we’ve ALL got problems, and I know my friends are all dealing with their own lives.
But I will say that sometimes, when your child is “different” than other kids, it can be really hard to focus on what you have instead of seeing what you don’t have. The contrast can be particularly harsh when you see them in a crowd of “normal” kids. There’s a reason that people say “I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl, as long as it’s healthy.” Nothing else really matters besides that.
It’s been a little rough lately.
Umm… lighthearted, lighthearted, lemme see… Oh, I bought yarn yesterday. It was mispriced at 3.98 instead of the 5.98 it was supposed to be, and they let me have it anyway before they marked the rest of it up! I may pair it with some Trendsetter Coconut. I felt like I’d “won” somehow when I got the cheap yarn.
Hey, don’t judge me, it’s cheaper than crack.
I’m not sure at this point that I’m going to have enough inventory for a table at Simucon. I’m trying to decide whether to go for a half table, or just to put things up in the auction booth.
Too many projects, not enough time!
