I spent a good chunk of my day plotting a mystery game.

I created a dozen characters, imagined their world, and brainstormed the plotline.

And now I just have to let it cook for a few days and let the next steps come together.

The trick for me, though, as always, is to schedule a time to actually sit down to work on it in a few days.

Otherwise, my brain falls into the trap of thinking that it will just ‘magically’ happen and stress myself out waiting for the magic to show up.

If I schedule the work time, I remember that the next step involves actual work.

But if I don’t then I lose track of the work part and I end up waiting for something that will never happen.

So, needless to say, I have another plotting work session scheduled for Tuesday.
