I've decided that this blog will be turning into a Simply Fun-oriented blog, with various mentions of the game store I want to run sprinkled in for good measure. In short, it's a games blog.

Most self-help speakers identify the idea of journaling and accountability. I've been all over the place with journaling, and I'm not a big blogger these days, but I think the idea has a lot of merit. I'm more likely to stay focused and on track if I've got a support group of people looking over my shoulder wondering what I'm doing next. That might seem a little big-headed, but the world of blogging has always been somewhat about self-glorification. With thoughts on display for the world to see, more often than not, the world answers and gives you the idea that it cares. It may be a bad type of caring, but it's still attention.

Personally, I like the good type of caring.

Anyway, I'm making the effort to journal my exploits in game retail. If and when the store happens and gets a website, the blog will move there. For now, it has to live somewhere.

I just had my first real Simply Fun party last weekend, and despite being a little shaky, it was a pretty good success. Fun was had by all, and I got sales. A winning combination. I think things will continue to be slightly shaky as I get rid of my jitters and figure things out. The presentation I wanted to make looked good on paper, but never really felt right coming out of my mouth. I have to go back and keep working until I find a style that works for me. The first phase of the new drawing board is a list of all the points I need to hit. I know I missed a few on Sunday, but we did all right anyway.

More blogging later... might do a post-mortem on the party, might discuss some of the games... guess it depends on how I feel. :)
