I've noticed over the years that the summer months are a period of extreme slow down for me when it comes to blogging.
I tend to game a lot during the summer but I can't seem to muster the focus or drive to post as often as I'd like. I am not sure why. It could be that my attention is directed more toward the games I'm running and not toward talking about them. That is to say, time I could be using to write on the blog about my last session could be better used developing material for the next session.
As August is the month wherein I celebrate my gaming anniversary (specifically August 25th), I am more motivated to post during this month. But what to post about exactly? I need an inspiration, a catalyst of some kind to shake off the habit of not posting I've grown accustomed to over the prior two or three months.
That's where the RPGaDay Challenge comes in.
It gets me to think about gaming again in a different way, a way that involves wanting to put down my thoughts and share them with others who are sharing theirs.
I give the Challenge are hard time, with snarky and sarcastic comments about the nature or wording of the questions but I do enjoy it. If I really didn't like it or think it had merit I wouldn't make jokes but rather just not bother with it at all.
This year's questions were, generally speaking, much better than those of the past couple of years. I am glad this was the case and hope the trend continues.
Well that's it. I guess I will see you all again next year for RPGaDay Challenge 2019!
More of Barking Alien's regular weirdness coming really soon!
Take care,
