I want to do too much with my free time. That is the big conclusion from February.
This month I finally started something I’ve been wanting to do, and have been working towards, for years: writing a novel. I wanted to write a book ever since I was a kid and started writing ‘a’ book on multiple occasions, but those never went anywhere. The farthest I got was maybe a page or three. I never had a solid idea other than ‘I want to write about, say, a mine’.
In 2024, an idea came to me. An idea that grew and grew. An idea I worked out to thousands of words about characters, lore and a 13344-word long narrative outline. It is this outline I’m now writing into an actual story. An actual book. That’s taking up a lot of my time.
My daily goal is 300-500 words per day. Even with some escapes such as ‘my blog writing count too’ and ‘I can skip one day per week to prevent burn out’ the effect on my other hobbies is clear. Where I used to have about 2 reviews or the like for this blog ready to go at any time, I now have 0 posts waiting on the shelves. I’ve only completed 2 games this year; last year I had almost finished double that.
I’m starting to run behind, which is what I’m saying, so it’s going to be a challenge to keep meeting my blog’s deadlines. Rest assured, though, I will do my best to meet those deadlines and give you all a new review or another type of post every other week. I might use some escapes though, such as posting updated versions of older rankings or reviews when relevant or a TV/Movie adaption review.
Speaking of which: the 2nd season of Netflix’s Devil May Cry animated series is about a month away. Since you all liked that review so much, I’ll be sure to review that sophomore outing too and get it out in April itself. The reboot Tomb Raider movie is also back on Dutch Netflix… for another two weeks at least. Going to watch that one (again) too and review it. I won’t pass up the opportunity to review all 3 Tomb Raider movies up.
To end this with the game: I broke my planned schedule this month. My Ghost of Yōtei review went out a lot earlier than I initially planned because I liked that game so much. I didn’t Platinum it for nothing after all! Speaking of which: that is the first time I had a spat with Google bots. It’s A.I. misread an image of Atsu about to fight the Undying Samurai as ‘for mature audiences only’. I managed to figure out that this image was the problem, but it was a very annoying situation to deal with.
This pushed back my review of Another Code: Recollection. Over halfway through that game, and I hope to have it done by next week (time of writing) before jumping into Kena: Bridge of Spirits. That trailer for the sequel looked so good during the last State of Play, I just had to try the original!
Lastly, with the Super Mario Galaxy Movie in only a couple of weeks, I have written a ranking of all the 3D Mario games since, well, I’ve now played them all. That one is nearly done and will go live on the 7th. The Another Code review should come after that on the 21st.

ReplyDeleteThank you! As you´ve read, I´ve been toying with more movie content. Starting with video game movies is a good way to expand my niche without alienating my gaming focused readers.
