1. Begin each round by picking a villain/challenge
2. Roll a 6 sided dice
3. The colour I land on determines what card pile to draw from
-Blue: Prop Card (Methods)
-Red: Character Card (Reading Goals)
-Purple: Library Card (Prompts for library books)
4. If the prompt is something like the first book I see on Instagram or last book on the shelf, but that book doesn't fit the villian/challenge card, then I will continue looking at more posts or go to the second/third/etc last book until I find a book that meets the prompt.
4. If I land on a colour that has a sticker on it, then the book is exempt from the overarching challenge
5. I'll pick 10-12 books, depending on how ambitious I feel. I do have an additional 3 books not included in the game for my self-made curriculum goals.
6. There are no punishments for not completing my whole TBR.

"Sinda Gregory (SG): You've referred to "Redwood" as a "piece" and a "bit of writing"--would you describe it as a short story, a meditation, or what?
MZD: It was a bit like a novella in some ways and more like a screenplay in others, but it's hard for me to fit it into a category. I wasn't concerned with a specific narrative structure or a set of grammatical rules.(n2) Basically, it was just an outpouring--a means of articulating this torrent of conflicting emotions I was feeling about my father. My sister met me when I finally reached Los Angeles, and we went home and looked after my father until his cancer went into remission. At that point I presented him with my story--as a gift. His response was unbelievable, full of rage--outraged, I think, by the audacity that I had written something so passionate and so focused on him. And so he applied all his years of intellectual edge and shredded me, going on to describe how useless art was, demanding why I didn't just go get a job at the post office!
Well, I probably should have expected his reaction, but I was just devastated. My first response afterward was to attempt to eliminate myself from this equation. I was an affront to my father's will and my father's place in the universe, and so rather than challenge that will and that place, I would sacrifice myself. And I did exactly that; the closest thing to suicide I can think of-- I tore up the manuscript of "Redwood" into hundreds of pieces, flung them into a dumpster in the alley, and spent the next few days in a kind of emotional coma. Ripping this thing apart in this Dionysian manner was a violent act but certainly not one inspired by joy and wine."
