In my research for my homebrew, I’ve become captivated by a particular goddess from ancient history. I wanted to work it in, and it fit tangentially. My mind didn’t stop, though, and kept coming up with ideas and possibilities, working them into figures and powers and histories and lore. It made for great daydreaming material!
Now it’s an hour shy of midnight, I’m reflecting on my day, and I’ve realized I can’t use three quarters of it. It changes too much of the original idea, making more work and muddying other ideas.
So, I’ll finish my wine, sleep, and tomorrow write down my ideas to get them out of my head, the move on with my project. Who knows, these daydreams may show up in another project. For now, I’ll let them sleep.
