Brutal Bears Needs Some Druid Healing

[Surakha]

Monday 11-16-16:

I walked 3.1 miles, hit day 21 without a cig, did a strength workout (leg day!), and came to a realization: I won't be able to finish the NanoWrimo Challenge. While writing a book is something I would really like to do it is clear that it isn't feasible at the moment, with where everything is at I had to choose one thing to go; the choices are school(it is mid terms week!), work, work outs, or my novel-so priorities dictate that "Swamp Rats" will be put on hold and penned more another, more fitting day...

 

 

Hey, no matter what you have more words now than you did at the beginning of the month.  You can always keep writing in downtime and use writing as a break from other things going forward.  I don't think I am going to finish either,  but  one thing I did  experience was love of writing stories again.  I am sure you  learned something at least!

[Surakha]

Bah, double post.  Here are gifs for you

I had a similar dilemma where if I was going to write stuff, it needed to be my thesis. So I can, finally, graduate in May.

 

Maybe we'll both be able to do ALL THE WRITING next year! [Fun writing, that is. Not thesis.]

 

Congrats on the cigarette victory!  You got this

So I didn't want to clutter up your group thread, but I'd totally be up for Dips and Dragons. However, current sicks are limiting my abilities... I'd love to be a tank, but I'm not sure that's feasible right now. Currently I'm doing lots of yoga.

 

Idk if that would help?

You could play a monk tank who uses a martial arts (yoga) to kick ass?

[elvenengineer]

If it isn't helpful, don't worry about it lol. Just wanted to let you know I would be happy to help, but I also don't want to be in the way.

Lol, no it's super helpful-but I don't think there is enough interest do follow through with the idea.

[elvenengineer]

There was a similar idea in a different part of the forum here, fyi. I forgot until just now lol

That looks pretty awesome, I think I'll see if they are still accepting new party members.

This was a test(why its called betaville) so he only accepted 5 people unfortunately. He said maybe next time he would open it up some more!

[elvenengineer]

Sweet! That's a nice marker to hit. I know you can keep it up!

 

Have a good Thanksgiving!

Now that you've hit the 30 day mark, do you have another goal?

[brutalbears]

Now that you've hit the 30 day mark, do you have another goal?

lol, not much with the smoking. I think I'm just going to keep 'not quitting' just going another day without a cig, for a while. Then post my monthly cig birthdays as they come up.

[elvenengineer]

Cool! Sounds like a plan
