shows what he knows!
I just ate of
one tall tale
I’ll write of it
tomorrow
Tag: write
poem: tens
tens
straight strike
clear off the board
and let’s write
basquiat knew
if I ever asked him
hey what’s the meaning
of life?
poem: try it here, try it there, try it here again
try it here, try it there, try it here again
another several hours at the water hole
push on, push on, write!
that’s why you make the bucks
(though big they’ve never been)
sunday special: a sprawling place 2018 draft 1
Well folks, here’s the entirety of A Sprawling Place composed in 2018, laid out in a pretty little 6×9 booklet.
It’s 42 pages, around 11,000 words, and entirely unedited. It was written between August and December.
I did this to back up the stories. Due to my own foolishness, I deleted the masters, so the only extant versions lived on WordPress. In any case, I copied it down so I have an archive myself again. Then it was a simple matter to do the most basic layout imaginable.
I think I’ll return to read and edit this properly someday — famous last words, I know. I make no promises, even to myself.
So if you’re interested, get your copy of A Sprawling Place, 2018, draft 1, in 6×9 PDF or 8.5×11 PDF.

sunday crawl: the Harrington Harrowing, v2
A moderately revised and slightly less linear version of the Harrington Harrowing. Until playtest, this is likely to be the more-or-less final revision.
This adventure represents my most sophisticated session prep yet, as well as my earliest experiments with Adobe InDesign
I’m working now on the follow-up adventure, intended to be less self-referential and in-jokey than this one. Possibly more dangerous, too.
A difficulty of design like this is getting feedback. I’ll run it as a session, collect my formal and informal impressions, and re-tool the adventure. Thus it shall likely stay, but one final pass is due.
