## I write for my future self.
---
Curse of Strahd will be a year-long campaign as a player, but could be mere weeks for my party. I want to remember the significant and feelings that my character may have felt last week in game, even if it was several months ago as a player.

# # My session notes capture the emotional resonance of my character.
- I’m less interested in it being exact, and more interested in capturing their emotions and thoughts during the session.
- While I’m not interested in every action in a fight, I do like to capture the excitement of a nat20. This gets commented out for *Preview/Publish*, but visible in *Edit* mode.

# # I make liberal use of comments!
- nat1, nat20 and DM one-on-ones, and notes to myself get commented out (example [[S07_2021-08-22#^arvidRictavio]][])
- This is partially for sake of Publish
- I also do the same on my own character note » [[Rychell Qinrel]]

# # I use blocks for navigation.
- I use custom descriptive links
- [[S08_2021-08-29#^hailMary]] Significant moment where my character basically did the impossible and performed a touchdown with a relic against the session BBEG
