I stink of paint. Actually, the whole house stinks of paint. Five layers in the hall, three in the study, bath, and hall closet, plus trim. It's taken three times as long as I feared, but it's all done but the touchup. Famous last words, of course, as touchups can take hours as well.
So you'd think the writing would have gone to hell this weekend, and you'd be right. I didn't touch the new novel I was so hot about a month ago (and it bugs me that paint fumes are slowly killing it). But I did the pro thing and wrote most of a draft for the new monthly column I have in
Dungeon.
Actually, it's an old column, Dungeoncraft, which covers various areas of gameplay from design to play to optional rules, from the DM perspective. It's been a couple years since I had a monthly column, and I find I'm enjoying it. Of course, the prior columnist was Monte Cook, so I'm holding myself to certain high bar.
If you've got a topic you'd like to see covered, let me know.
