Icarus's blog: "Just South of Blue."

I'm a little laid up on this long weekend.

A 200 lb filing cabinet fell on my fucked up arm.
And ... for a guy with multiple chronic back/neck/shoulder injuries, getting hit with something basically equivalent to a full swing-baseball bat to his worst injury

Was kinda bad.

I took a day and a half off of work, had to file workman's comp
X-Rays
extra painkillers

the whole shebang.

I was -going- to weight train, cut down some trees, and haul some limbs, and maybe

JUST MAYBE work on renovating my shitty house.


Pffft

Nah.

You're fucked up arm is fucked up.



So, we're gonna maybe work on a series of short stories based on my current DnD campaign.


I'm playing a Kobold (small, rat-like humanoid/dragonoid) megolomaniacal wizard
With a couple friends

One is playing a tinker-gremlin (think ... murder-Yoda with a penchant for hilariously breaking shit)

A half-orc monk (about as useless as it sounds)

and a pacifist bee-forged cleric who "only wants to be loved"
(War-forged are these big hulking metal golems with souls, and minds of their own, a bee-forged is a war-forged with a hive full of sentient bees)

I haven't written any fiction or... anything really since... *ahem* well, something kinda killed my soul

Maybe it coincides with this shitty job, maybe it coincided with another major personal event...

So I dunno if it will be any good. I tend to crack everyone up in the group, and come up with brilliant plans, but maybe I've dulled the spark.

I guess we'll see

I'm naming this project
"A Tiny Case of Megalomania"

And for once, it will have its own blog.

The goal is to get back in some good habits, and maybe have some dialogue driven ensemble fantasy adventure, and chronical our adventure to date with a few embeleshments and adjustments.

Ensemble fantasy is something I have NEVER been able to write well, so of course, after taking years off from fantasy, I should be great at it.

Right?
