I spent an hour today writing a 1,000 word update to Jamie's Tale and five hours trying unsuccessfully to turn it into a 2,000+ word update. This wasn't in a row. I kept walking away from the problem to see if I could get fresh perspective on it. Round midnight I was distracted by some D&D-related squee*. Each time I came back not having any better idea how to progress, and each time I missed the essential problem: it was a thousand word update.

That's all.

I'm blogging this so that maybe I learn from it.




*This being the new Essentials preview material, which pretty well confirms that the D&D Essentials line will:


  • Make things easier on newbies.
  • Appeal to nostalgia.
  • Not change the game for people who like the existing character options.
  • Give new powers/candy that people who like the existing stuff can play with, too.


Win-win-win-win.
