I need a new project to work on. The last couple days have been fine because they were busy, but that doesn’t happen often. I have a couple things I’m working on but none of them takes up much of my time, about an hour total. I can’t just do nothing with my time, it feels weird and makes me uncomfortable and leaves me feeling oddly stressed. So I need a new project to work on, a dedicated goal to pursue.


    The problem is everything I want to pursue either requires resources that are in limited supply, namely Fate and Solar Energy, or resources I simply don’t have access too, namely flesh manipulation. I could focus on growing my grove, but if I push it’s growth to far too fast I could stress out the trees, yeah that limit is much higher than most groves because of how mine was created but there is still a limit. Stressing my grove out would be bad for their health, and therefore bad for my health.


    I could try to refine one of my plants, but which plant and to what end? Maybe I could try doing something with the small mountain I have in my grove, mine it or something? But how would I go about doing that, and again, to what end? I could try making new life again, but how and why? Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work!


    I guess what I really need to ask myself is what I want to achieve and work backwards from there.


    And I’m still drawing a blank.


    Ok, let’s try again. What would be practical in the near future? The only thing I can think of is the pending attack here. How can I prepare for that? I won’t be able to make any noticeable improvements in my magical skills like plant manipulation and healing before then. I don’t know the first thing about fortifications and have already given the raw materials necessary to the people that do know.


    I think I’ve got it, I am going to start teaching some promising mages healing magic, at least until something more interesting comes along. It was either that or learning how to use a knife in a fight, which seems rather boring, on top of being pretty stupid because I could just use my plants to defend myself should the need arise.


    As for what happened today, nothing. Nothing interesting happened today, hence this brainstorming.


    Anyway, Good Night Diary.
