And I'm not easy to please as a reader. You really paint a picture of the things you write about. Aside from that, thank you for sharing your monster discovery and negotiation. I think we all have some monster(s) lurking. Now and then (okay, more often than not) I listen to them and get mired in indecision, anxiety, and inaction. My monster management thus far has been to alternate between denying their existence and using the hammer the sisters at St. Francis gave me to deal with the devil: "Be gone! You have no power over me!" Once they are out of my hair momentarily, I can get more fully into the Right Now and act. I haven't thought about the more direct method of meeting the monsters and holding negotiations though. That seems to have better potential for long-lasting results. I think I'll try it!

Love the storyboard. Love your chapter one. I am looking forward to the next installment. I love that you responded to your musings with action and a vigorous FU to the down sides! :D Bravo, Chris!

I haven't yet gotten to the point where I separate the monster-self/selves out like this; it would probably be significantly helpful in addressing the specifics of What's Eating Me. I might try this, even if I never post the results. Also, <3. Hope to see you in gameland a bit in the next few days..! I will, of course, understand if you have Bigger Things On Your Plate or Don't Feel Like Gaming. ;) I think I am my own monster.

Or maybe a whole lotta Havi, I find the two of them together form a nice balance between "kick in the ass" and "gentle change." Sounds like you need a good dose of Rock Your Day or something!

I've just spent the last hour reading your posts and I feel so much the same but have never seen it so well articulated. I got here from your comment on Havi's Friday Chicken and liked the title of your last post. I shall adopt it as a model for my own "goals" - I also have struggled with resolutions and concrete goals, then hate myself for not achieving them. Intentions and desires resonate a whole lot better. Thanks - I look forward to reading more. Hey Chris, I really like your blog.
