This one comes from Filling the Jars. The key line: “Something moved in the distance.”
Something moved in the distance. It was mot a thing I could see. It felt more like a flicker in the corner of my eye and when I turned to see it all that was there were the shadows of the late afternoon moving between the trees. I looked up then, glancing from tree top to tree top, then anxiousness in my face evident to those around me. We weren’t supposed to be this deep in the briar wood–not since the general’s decree.
Some Thoughts:
- That one stunk. It fell immediately into a fantasy look, but I didn’t have a since of who was telling the story. This is a classic case of what I am reading/listening to filtering into the creation process. There is a scene in the woods with a character that I’ve just heard and that was in the back of my mind at the very least. Let’s try again tomorrow with fresh eyes and thoughts.
- Finally started doing a draft deepdive in Madden 22 and it is interesting. It is made more interesting by knowing my kids are also in the league and trying to discern talent. It is a corner heavy draft and based on where I am in he 1st I am deciding between the best Tackle in the draft and the best out the gate CB. Honestly, I think there are more good CB’s in the draft but this one has the potential to be hidden dev (heck, they all do!) given his True rating of Top 5. I didn’t get a true rating on the LT, so I am winging it there. Still, I think if I don’t get him then another CPU will. I may just have to take that chance though.
