One of the things I found most frustrating about going to
school at night is that it completely sapped my creativity. I was too drained to write or work on
projects or do anything really that required interacting with other people. I still had ideas, things I wanted to do, but
rarely the energy to work on them. When
I finished school 4 months ago, I felt absolutely drained.
Time
and vacation has begun to bring back that spark. Now this leaves me lots of projects that I
would like to see done. I am designing a Mistborn themed Mafia-style
game that I would like to run in the near future. Three years of an evening MBA is an
experience worth sharing. I have
writings about politics and religion, of bombs and life, and all sorts of other
things that are bound to offend someone or other. I have board games and puzzles I want to design. I have a fantasy baseball website that I want
to rebuild. There are many people I haven’t spoken to
since before school began, and with whom I would love to reconnect. Finally, I have an idea for a novel that has
been swirling around for years, and I would love to be able get it out of my
head and onto a screen.
I have to start somewhere though, so we will begin in the
world of board games. This is an area
where I have significant interest and knowledge and believe I have thoughts
worth sharing. The blog can be found
here. It is still start with a look at
Ticket to Ride as part of a larger series on gateway games. I hope to update once a week on Sunday, and
have done a large amount of pre-writing to aid me in at least getting off to a
good start.
