Writing adventure logs.

I felt like writing an adventure log from the perspective of my character (Quendy) for a long time...
That's what my quarter baked post from yesterday was all about.
You can guess by now that I feel lukewarm about it.
Edit. After re-reading it and a few minor tweaks, I think its better than I originally thought... good for me

Always fun doing such, really helps give it a breath of life.
I am trying to figure out how to do that with my fictional characters, to make them a being in them selves.
But one thing in universal between them... "Is that a orc army?!" "Dylend(wizard) do you happen to have firestorm?" "used that last week, I haven't been able to get components" "Ok... lets run.", no heroic clashes to the death for these fellows.
Writing logs from the PC's point of view surely helps me their characters.
Its an exercise I used to do back when I wanted to write a novel - I had the plot of my story, but I wrote a series of short stories with the various characters just to help me flesh them out. Very simple stories: monologues, dialogues, outings at restaurants, every day situations.
Just about the only thing I ever wrote for that novel :P
