# Canning *Ragnarök* – Memory Card #69 👋🏻 The *God of War* essay is dead, long live the *God of War* essay. I just can't bring myself to finish this *Ragnarök* essay. I've never been satisfied with the ending I wrote. I feel zero drive to work on it. In fact, I feel a drive to *stay away* from it. After some talking with friends and soul searching over the holiday, I've decided to can the *Ragnarök* essay. I'm moving on to *Memento* and *TLOUPII*. I poked around my notes this morning and felt invigoration. Thank God for good notes. There's not going to be any [[Memory Card 54 – Mellow Runway|cold storage marination]] this time around. Start to finish on this one. No letting rust build up in the creative joints. Gonna give that [[Memory Card 68 - Old Ideas|days of the week]] idea a shot too. Let's see what happens in the new year. Thank you all for your patience and understanding. This is a part of the creative process and its not a fun one, but it is a vital one. I'm not sure what I will do with the *Ragnarök* script. Perhaps I'll release it here? Not sure. For now, we need to talk about chronological timelines. Side note: *Metroid Prime 4* is progressing quite nicely. Should beat it very soon.
