I have had more creative ideas for projects than I have time lately. It’s like I figured out what my hindrances are & now I’m flowing those ideas through the new slots. This level of creativity is awesome, my brain is dredging these concepts up & presenting them to me & they are all solid bangers & part of increasingly complex webs of ideas that are creating a really solid platform from which to launch new projects! I’ve got a list in my head (I should type it out, i’ll do that here)

• Make mosaics from the pixel art I’ve been developing.

• Finish the Battle for Brüttelburg video game.

• Produce more DUNGEON DEGENERATES expansion boxes covering the Nackt Drek, the Law, the Morbad, Halloween/Gutter/Folk Horror & more…

• Release new big boxes covering the East & West of the Würstreich.

• Release new lore books covering all the new expansions

• Realize what the Bombast (hardcore techno made out of operatic samples, huge choruses, cannons, Wagnerian grandiosity & more) sounds like by completing a keyboard set up with a sampler, sequencer, mixer & monitors so I can feel it.

• Release the DUNGEON DEGENERATES RPG

• Release the DUNGEON DEGENERATES skirmish game.

• Release the DUNGEON DEGENERATES collectable story card series.

• Release my weird fiction DUNGEON DEGENERATES pulp fiction series.

& Katie has lists of project ideas from before the stroke too, most solid & all yearning to be brought into existence. So my challenge now is time management. I need to continue not working myself to death, taking weekends, stopping work at 5:30  & I like all of the things that occupy my day except for having to answer customer emails. I actually like emailing with customers & taking care of them, it gives me more of a direct touch with fans & I know it can’t be gained another way, but also I don’t love HAVING to do it. I already find myself waking up at 4:30 in the morning, I get to work at 8:30. I nap from 1-3. I exercise for an hour a day. I go to bed at 10. It’s wild having spent many years working until 2 in the morning & starting my day at 11am. I’ve also been doing talk therapy since the beginning of summer & working hard to unscramble my noodle & stop getting in my own way. I have built up patterns to help me to know what to do, my brain damage makes details slip away & I have a real hard time with being thorough on things that would have been easy for me in the past. I am (slowly) learning to double check.
