[QUOTE="Ao the Overkitty, post: 1490863, member: 9758"] Oh, I've got it mostly written down. I kept a journal for my character, starting it two months of game time after the campaign started (I think I started it after 4 months of real time). So, there are gaps in the beginning, but it runs well for a while. There is another large gap where his cohort died which spans five months. But, now that his cohort is back, I've resumed writing. Since I'm writing this as if it was his journal, summarizing things isn't hard. He glazes over things and places and doesn't talk about things he felt weren't worthwhile. So far, I'm at page ten of this second volume of the journal and he has yet to mention anything about his cohort's death. All he's said so far was a quick paragraph about them bringing him back. Perhaps in later entries I'll be able to coax more info about that particular event. I try and immerse myself in the character when writing the journal, which isn't always a good thing. For example, I had to write a very depressed entry last night. I say had to becuase I would have just kept mulling over it in my mind until i got it jotted down somewhere. I had to wait till Orchid finished Monsters Inc. and went elsewhere before I could get into the right mood to write that entry. Guess watching a comedy wasn't helping. :D So far, the only one besides myself that has seen the journal is the DM, and even he hasn't seen the whole thing. I intentionally didn't write it in the best manner, trying to write as the character would, so it is very much stream of consciousness. I enjoy writing it and rereading it, but I'm not sure it would make a very good storyhour. [/QUOTE]
