A year of good things...
All work and no play makes John...
Well, makes John take selfies by all account...
Still, as there's been a number of people asking if everything is alright, just thought to post the state of the union such as it is.
I'm fine...
Firked, but fine...
Had a cold (I think most of you are probably familiar with which one by now) which is doggedly refusing to f*** off, putting in all the hours under the sun trying to make sure Expo works, writing articles for Tabletop gaming magazine, writing proposals for Modiphius, submitting books to Gollancz, helping local games stores run games, finishing quest, and in general...
Not sleeping...
Which I admit probably isn't helping.
I had a plan earlier in the week, because the world has not been kind this year so far, and I'm tired of writing "And again..." in my day book, and the first step of anything is to make a positive change, so here it is, if you had a year left to live, but you still had to go to work, still had to honour your commitments, and wanted that year to mean something more at the end of it all, what would you do...?
Me? I'd try to make the world a better place in small stages, occasionally trying a big one, and I started the year of doing good things on the first of march, so...
Tuesday - Finished the Expo maps (have to redo them again now, but still, finished briefly).
Wednesday - Introduced a good friend to the utter insanity of Kung Fury... If nothing else, it brightened his day immensely
Thursday - Finished two reviews after a nine hour Expo meeting (Everyone out there who wonders how we get it right most years, it's all in the prep), and I'll be posting them tomorrow.
More announcements tomorrow, I'll do my best to stay in touch...
My regular gaming buddies, I'll be back, fear not (even the Russian Julian...)
Those waiting on words from me, before the end of next week...
Those waiting on invoices from me (I know, I know, no rush...), soon...
Oh, and what's everyone's thoughts on podcasts...?
This is John Dodd, Bear at Large in the Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire, and goodnight England, where ever you are...
