The Dungeon of Dread

Just so that I look back on this week of nothing written and remember what a trial it actually was. As you can see from the photo I am creating the first dungeon for the D&D group in 8 days! I am fighting my panic. I have descriptions to prepare: the travel, the random monster encounters, the inn, the inn's non-playing characters (NPCs) and their rumours, and at least describe several rooms of the dungeon itself BEFORE I write in the rules so I can follow them, PLUS I have player characters (PCs) to make up. So I am in real panic mode - not to mention that I have 9 important Elven names that are giving me a huge writer's block. I am trembling at this task. I do not care that this fear is over a silly thing - this is about making deadlines and I am more worried that I willnot be ready than I am about not being ready.

Plus I have the guilt about not writing in my Blog. I will solve that by putting in what I have prepared for this dungeon. The best part is that I am focused on creating for the first time in a long time and were it not for my need to have rules, I would be writing a "story outline" now. Wait a minute... I am writing a story outline for an improvisational play!

Top all this off with the ongoing life: Marta's emotional rages that are deleterious to me; my weeping nostalgia over my broken life (I know I am pathetic too); and I still have to supply a dance for senior executives - venue, catering, music - to happen for the Association on 4 June (nothing is done for it and the clock is ticking for the 30 April promotion deadline) AND I have not got the letters of association signed and to the court YET!!!

Weasels say: Run Away!
