On Trying new workflows
by [username=Bifford]Bifford[/username]

I never used to make lists; I just got on with whatever, whenever. This didn't really work.
Then I started making a list in an A5 book. Things to do, a breakdown of those things into smaller things. It sort of worked, but then I gave up looking in that book.
Now I've moved on to an A4 whiteboard list which I can erase, tick, cross off, add notes to, or whatever. It seems to be working, so far, but it's only week one so who knows how long it will last?

Layout wise, I used to get one article completely finished before moving on to the next. Text, art, composition, the whole shebang.
I've just started trialing throwing the article text onto the page in roughly the right format, but not sweating the details, and not worrying too much about images (unless I already had one) or the layout until all the articles are roughly in place. We'll see how that workflow goes over the next week or two I expect.

Anyway, my point is that it is good to try different workflows; see what works better for you. Maybe what worked for you a year ago no longer does. Maybe in a year's time it will work for you once more. But we have to change our workflow to match our needs. At least, I think we do.

Every day there's a new Question of the Day. Most of them are game-related but once in a while we get one that'a more geek-related like favorite movies or books. The question changes every day and you can even suggest a QOTD. When you check out this week's Question of the Week, you can see a link to all the old questions and the chance to suggest a question of your own. Here's this week's QOTD:
QOTD JUN 12: What was your latest, or most noticeable, "facepalm" moment in a game? What was it about (the party, the scenario, the players' ideas, the rules, the props, the dice rolls etc.)?

Today was spent bouncing between Abydos, Surfboard Stealin' Sea Otters, and writing up the next Mythic Monday 2-parter :whistle:. I also caught up on my non-BGG socials and got BGG down to 50-ish subscriptions. Not bad for a day's work. The Mythic Monday 2-parter is looking pretty good, but I need to iron out a few details. And I'm still behind on SGOYT. Looks like that's a job for tomorrow.

Out of time for today.

Happy Wednesdays and happy playing!
