One thing I’m trying to get better at is multitasking.  In preparing Countdown To Blastoff for publication, I’ve not had the luxury of being able to focus on just one thing.  Right now, I’m trying to find a company to produce the game for us. Also, I’m working on creating a promotional video for our upcoming Kickstarter campaign.  And tracking expenses, so we can use our resources wisely.

What else?  Recently, Josh and I updated the cards for Countdown To Blastoff; this will give us a ‘ready for publication’ copy to use during playtesting.  (And organizing playtest sessions.  That’s on my to-do list.  I want to start inviting people to my house, for final playtesting.)  Oh, and there’s the task of getting-the-word-out about Countdown To Blastoff – which includes these posts.  Then there’s Origins, which starts tomorrow!

On occasion, I get to work on game design, lol.

Trying to take care of all this has given me a greater appreciation of the challenges of running a small business.  For all those who do so – or have done so – you have my respect and admiration!

I believe that God has gifted each of us in different ways.  Creating videos and managing projects are definitely *not* among my gifts.  Happily, my wife is here to help me with various important tasks.  And Josh assists me in so many ways (often, in areas involving graphic design).  Having others you can turn to for help is so much more valuable than riches!  {read less}
