Hello! I just wondered if something like this had been done but I had an idea for something that might really help new Mounties to get going and get oriented- a ā€œto do listā€ a bit like the hog warts shopping list, which let’s face it was really exciting! So maybe things to prepare for the journey, a thread where you can discuss your experience getting your guild supplies for example or people you need to introduce yourself to? Sorry if as I’m new this is an old/ not relevant idea I just thought it might be cool! :laughing:

Good day to all! I’m currently enjoying pretzels in my pajamas - it’s a public holiday here in the UK, so enjoying the day off doing nothing but internetting :cjheart: how’s everyone else on this fine Monday?

@Rimor I know! Trying to make the most of this day (well… if doing nothing but sitting on my laptop can be considered ā€˜making the most of it’), seeing as there won’t be another one until the end of August :laurencry:

Ooh it’s a holiday here in the US, too. Memorial Day.

The day’s just begun so I’m not sure what I will do. I’m torn between being a lazy bum or getting my butt in gear on summer projects.

Oooh, I didn’t know that. What projects have you got lined up?

Currently some book illustration work, and some long overdue portraits/emojis. Those are the set in stone ones, and I’m kind of feeling out what I want to tackle afterwards.

Beyond that, I’m torn honestly. I have quite a few options - NPC portraits for an RPG I’m wanting to start up, making a continuation series of the fragment recap videos for the wiki, test designs of a tarot card deck, finally finishing the short story I’ve been putting off for a thousand years… I have a million and one things floating around in my brain, just gotta decide what interests me and pursue it. :joy:

Oh wow, now I feel like should be more productive… :sweat_smile: those all sound so exciting! I would LOVE to see your designs for a tarot deck! :cjheart:

I really need to create more artwork for my OCs and get back into roleplaying… and writing, I should really go back to my ā€˜novel’ that I stopped writing about 2 years ago :persevere:

Aw thanks. <3 I think the tarot deck is shaping more to be a July/August project, but I’ll definitely be sharing them when it’s more on my radar.

Ugh I feel that honestly. I’ve been getting more and more distanced from writing, the last time I really did something substantial was like…NaNo 2016 haha. I can churn out my visual art, but writing is always so much harder for me to do.

Woohoo! I look forward to it! :grin:

I tend to get about 10,000 words in and then… BAM. I hit the wall. I lose direction and get to a point where I have no idea how to move the plot forward. And since leaving university I’m no longer surrounded by people I can bounce ideas off. Perhaps I’ll head over to the writing forums here :sweat_smile:

Oh man, you’re in good company for sure. @CJB is a lean mean writing machine. If I remember right, his regular word output is like 5-7k daily. :scream: We also have several other prolific writers, such as @Deyavi, who is absolutely amazing in both her focus and her skills.

I’ve no idea where you all find the energy or motivation!

5-7k daily?! :flushed: holy cow. Sounds like I need to up my game!

@Rimor - yeah, I struggle with those on a regular basis :sweat_smile: hence why I rarely finish anything I start. It’s awful really… :sweat:

If it makes you feel any better, I get so much lazier in the summer months. :joy: University forces me to pump out so much art in a year, on top of the for fun projects I try to tackle, it gets hard to keep going.

I’ve found that keeping a schedule helps. Also, keeping initial expectations low. Like I’m feeling in a lazy mood today since I don’t have to do any theatre work, but I have some sketching supplies just laying on my desk to tempt me haha.

Thanks for asking! I am feeling nervous and excited today because I will get to go back to Vietnam for a month with my family tonight, so I am just packing up and preparing. Will get to complete the 2nd TMP once I arrived in Vietnam too!

6 Likes

Oh wow! I’ve never been Vietnam, but I would love to… I hope you have an amazing time! Will you get to reunite with some family while you’re there?

I completed the second TMP just last week! What a rollercoaster… I mean… it was just one of the most intense reading experiences I’ve ever had! So glad I have this forum to keep the magiq going :cjheart:
