Last year, I “won” my first NaNoWriMo, writing more than 50,000 words in the span of a month.

Am I avoiding it?

Literally: New York!

As I’m writing this, it has been about a week since Godot Wild Jam #68 wrapped.

Reflecting on the past year, I’ve experienced a mix of ups and downs.

After returning from EVO 2023, I found myself filled with this desire to build my own controller.

EVO 2023 just wrapped this last weekend.

The ridiculous thought came to me about a month ago.

I think I finally understand all the productivity YouTubers that talk about building habits.

We’re about to wrap up the first third of the year, so I felt like it might be a good time to reflect on what’s happened so far.

It’s been a month since EVO, and a month since I put “write about EVO” in my to-do list.

How Did I Get Here?

I had been thinking about writing posts on a few different projects I’ve been working on, but none of them had any sort of substance.

I had been meaning to write this post when the Autumn of Creation ended, at the end of December.

This Fall, I’ve been trying to do what I call the “Autumn of Creation”.

Last weekend, I spent the majority of it working on a game called Two Knights.

At the beginning of last year, I told myself that 2020 was going to be the year I finally released a game.

I’ve been letting ideas for posts build up, allowing myself to be lazy instead of sitting down and at least writing a first draft.

ScrubBot is a Discord bot I’ve been making for ScrubLords, a small server I’m in with some college friends.

Well here we are, weeks after creating this site, and not a post to be seen.

It’s another day, and another way to collect my thoughts that I’ll undoubtedly abandon.
