Sun Jan 13 09:02:21 EST 2019 Slept from eleven-thirty to six. Woke briefly around three. Might take a nap later. High of thirty today, and mostly sunny. Goals: - Play with D&D river thing Done. - Grocery? Done. - Go to bed by ten-thirty Possibly solved a couple creative-process-type problems for myself. - Problem: with a lot of vague ideas for projects, how do I choose where to start? Solution: just pick one; there's no right answer. - Problem: none of my many vague ideas are developed enough to start working on them. Solution: the nature and scope of a project emerges (and often changes) _after_ work starts. Just start; the first part of the work is exploring the territory, and only plotting a path later. It's better to work on a non-ideal project than nothing. Watered plants, vacuumed, minor tidying. Watched The Bray Road Beast. Near Lake Geneva. A bear? "…Satan himself!" Doesn't Satan have better things to do than running around rural Wisconsin eating roadkill? Called mom, just to say hello. https://bookaddictionuk.wordpress.com/2015/11/28/the-finely-bound-books-of-monique-lallier/ Hidden panels and pop-ups in hardcover book covers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW-pM4hA6eA Patrick Stuart talking to Gabor Lux. How do you make vanilla fantasy work? Do it with sincerity, and eschew retellings by going back to the roots. Thirty-minute walk in the afternoon. Faint half-moon in the blue sky. A little cold. Servings: grains 4/6, fruit 2/4, vegetables 4/4, dairy 1/2, meat 2/3, nuts 0/0.5 Breakfast: carrots, banana, coffee Lunch: pita with cheese, tomato, and olives; spinach; apple Dinner: cookies, hamburger, tomato 140/91
