shannon_aWriting. The folks over at Tradetalk just asked for some new articles. I haven't written for them in about a year. I gave them a couple of new articles right after I finished the (unpublished) HeroQuest book on elfs, and they're just getting to publish the second. In any case, I'm glad the mag's still going, and I need to get back into the sync of writing in my off-time (though probably not until at least next week, as things are pretty busy through Saturday). I should make sure to spend some time on these next Sunday-ish.
I've also got a neat proposal out to a publisher for a new book; I'm hoping to get a positive response soon. For now, I just know that they're taking it seriously.
Familia. My dad and sister were by today. We watched the season finale of Lost, which was good (after a generally good season 4). They usually watch the show together, but my dad was up in Oregon this last Thursday, making a visit to one of his Aunts before he retires to Hawaii, so they'd agreed to come see the show with us today. He and Mary are coming back on Tuesday to have lunch with us, then they are leaving on a jetplane this Thursday.
They've been talking about retiring to Hawaii for so long, and my dad loves the islands so much, that I'm really happy for them, even though I'll see them less.
Descent. My Saturday RPG group started a Descent: The Road to Legend campaign on Saturday. We're planning to run it for a couple of hours after D&D every other week or so. By the time counts I've seen on BGG that'll probably carry us into 2009, which will surely be the longest board game I've ever played. I'm hoping to get a good article out of it for BGN in a few weeks too.
