We had five people on our team, one of them not really present due to easing back in from maternity leave and also about to go on an extended trip twelve time zones away, and one just got fired. From the sounds of it, he was really not coming up to speed, but this is definitely the wrong trend. (I guess I should feel better that I wasn’t the least productive member of the team, but what if I am now?)

Read: The Drones of Keldora (Alex Raizman): Conclusion of this series, with extremely ominous last line, but apparently one of the major characters is going to visit the series with dinosaurs, so maybe I’ll read that one.

Read: Wrath and Pride (Alex Raizman): First two books of the series with dinosaurs. I mean, dinosaurs! Yay! But the dungeon core stuff is all so arbitrary that it’s basically made entirely of deus machina. It’s so weird that D&D leveling, which was supposed to be an abstraction of the actual process of learning from experience (okay, very abstract in some editions) has become its own thing by being filtered through derivative computer games.

NaNoWriMo Words: 6267 + 713 = 6980. It’s not nothing, I guess? But I know I used to be able to write more.
