Not sure anyone cares, but it takes me about 24 hours to write art descriptions for a 224-page D&D book. It’s a fun assignment, but the best part is seeing what the illustrators do with them. I first create a spreadsheet that lists the illustrations by chapter and notes the size and subject of each. It helps make sure art is spread evenly throughout. Once that’s done, I can write the descriptions quickly without having to stop and think about them. #wotcstaff

That’s a pretty impressive turnaround. Can’t wait to see the results! 😀

This is wild. We talk about that task all the time but I had no idea of the exact effort.— Trys (@TrystanFalcone) November 9, 2020
Yeah doing them for my first adventure was pretty interesting. It was one of those things you think you know how it goes until you do it.

Do you usually write on weekends or is it because you're WFH now? (I never stop working as a freelancer at home but I try to take breaks 😬)

I do most of my creative work on weekends, in the early mornings before meetings, and on holidays. #wotcstaff Since we're not in the office anymore I've shifted back into some freelancer habits. Late nights tend to be when the creative lightning strikes for me these days. That's when I can really sit and get into a flow.

Milo and I are in bed by 9 pm most nights. That is awe-inspiring. My brain just doesn't work that way, I've tried.
