Canning Ragnarök – Memory Card #69

👋🏻

The God of War essay is dead, long live the God of War essay.

I just can't bring myself to finish this Ragnarök essay. I've never been satisfied with the ending I wrote. I feel zero drive to work on it. In fact, I feel a drive to stay away from it.

After some talking with friends and soul searching over the holiday, I've decided to can the Ragnarök essay.

I'm moving on to Memento and TLOUPII. I poked around my notes this morning and felt invigoration. Thank God for good notes.

There's not going to be any cold storage marination this time around. Start to finish on this one. No letting rust build up in the creative joints. Gonna give that days of the week idea a shot too. Let's see what happens in the new year.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding. This is a part of the creative process and its not a fun one, but it is a vital one. I'm not sure what I will do with the Ragnarök script. Perhaps I'll release it here? Not sure. For now, we need to talk about chronological timelines.

Side note: Metroid Prime 4 is progressing quite nicely. Should beat it very soon.

Until next time...
