Corona – Day 22 – The one I dictated

The weekend was quite uneventful. As I mentioned last week, my friends and I got together to play some Dungeons & Dragons online. The first half hour felt a little strange, but once everyone got used to the new setup, we actually had a good time.

Player interaction obviously isn’t as engaging as it is around a physical table, but it’s much better than not playing at all. I’m already looking forward to the next session. I think I can seriously reduce my prep time this time around. I’m also introducing some of my students to the game over the Easter holidays, so I’ll be prepping that game as well.

I’m kind of dreading the Easter break a little bit. The last few weeks have been weird but strangely structured, and I know I need to maintain that structure, even if I adjust it slightly. Instead of doing schoolwork every day, I plan to get some writing done daily. I’m not sure if I should set any strict goals, but it would be great to aim for at least two pages each day. My main focus will be Alaska, but I’ll see where creativity takes me.

One thing I’ve noticed—something that might make things a bit more interesting, and I hope you hadn’t noticed until now—is that I used the dictation feature to write this blog post. It required only minimal editing. It’s not that I’m faster than usual, but it’s interesting to use my voice instead of my fingers to create text.

I’m not entirely sure how feasible it would be to write a screenplay like this, but sometimes you have to mix it up. I have to admit I’m quite enjoying it—partly because it works so seamlessly. I’ll have to try German later, but UK English works really well.

That’s it for today. Stay healthy!
