Okay, holding off on writing for the day. Mostly because I ended up with one of those short-but-potent dreams you have when you wake up at 5 AM, then go back to sleep before your alarm goes off at 7. I can barely remember any of it, but I do remember it being particularly vivid. Not so sure I want to subconsciously throw that into the story. Trust me, there's a lot of weird shit that's going in there already. Which is a frustrating aspect in and of itself: I know what's going to happen. I have a rough idea of what order it all happens in, and I'm getting clearer views of the motivations of characters I haven't even gotten to introduce yet. But it's the getting to that point which is throwing me off right now. It's why it took me a while to get back into it.

Okay, for the gamer types. If I'm running as party of 5 PL10 M&M characters who will probably end up in Lemuria in my RL game Friday night, fighting Serpent People to rescue a kidnapped NPC, what's the best way to run something that big without getting to a snail's pace for combat? Help. :)

Addendum: I forgot how to do LJ posts by phone. Dammit. :(

Would that I could, I feel like I have tonight's plans mapped out to almost the last possible second, finally getting a balance I can deal with. Good. Also, need to stop and get comics on the way home, and if my shop doesn't have New Mutants again I'll...just go to another shop I know of on the way home and get it there. Best thing to do there is call my own shop first to see what I'm getting this week. :)

Odd, because in the past I would get really angry over small things. For a while, I've been letting a lot of stuff slide. Not everything, but it's more that I usually go in armed with a backup plan or idea in case the first one doesn't pan out right away. Hell, I have been surprising myself by my own actions as of late. It's one of those 'when did I start thinking like that?' or 'Why am I not letting myself get upset by something' kind of things. It's a weird feeling: I feel more in tune and yet more disconnected from the rest of...well, everyone. I want to say 'a different level' but that implies 'up or down' which is the same as 'above or below' which isn't what I'm trying to get at. Look as it more as...parallel, but not along the same line.
