NaNoWriMo and Blanket Update!

-
Hola everyone! o/

  I figured I would stop by and give you an update on my life.

  So far, so much of the same. Work is taking a lot of time. What few hours I get at the end of the day is usually spent talking to people and generally not being online.

  This month is National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. For this year, I am working on a novel that I penned on and off, currently called Dayspring. I am hoping to get through a good chuck of it so I can dedicate a stream to typing up my pieces at the end of the month on 30 November.

  Other than that, it's blankets. I crochet lots of things, and most of it has been blankets or blanket pieces to give to family or to keep as a treat for myself. This month means playing catch up. I'm hoping to have many blanket pieces (known to the crochet world as granny squares) made by the 30th so that I can finish my blankets and work on some other smaller things during December. If I get those done at a decent rate, I'll post pictures here and on Twitter.

  Outside of that, I'm working on a little something special with a few friends. It will be an online and hopefully will provide more opportunities for you and I to chat more in 2020. I'm also working on a lot of more personal stuff that -depending on what happens by the end of the year- I will share with you all.

  I hope to see you guys on the 30th for my stream on Mixer ( < click that to head to my channel and follow) and I will update you after the stream on other things that might happen next month.

Love and Strength to all!

Book Review #3

Book Review Dreyer's English: An Utterly Correct Guide to Clarity and Style Written by Benjamin Dreyer   If you are looking for a newer, fresher guide to the English language, this might be something to read. Dreyer is the Copy Chief of Random House, which gives him ample credibility to the wisdom and advice he offers. This book becomes a first step into the mind of a copy editor for multiple forms of writing. A lot of the information in this book serves as great advice and a springboard into other resources that Dreyer heartily recommends.   There is a lot of information to take in with this book. Its two sections (and thirteen chapters) cover a lot of material. The first section, "The Stuff in the Front," goes into detail about various style suggestions that you may want to consider on a basic level. Things such as punctuation; the rules and nonrules; and how to write foreign words in your work are critical for everything from flash fiction to novellas, from biographies...

Extra Note

-
 This goes to every American who either voted or did not vote recently. If you did not get what you wanted/needed, celebrate with those who did. For the first time in four years, those people may feel seen and valued.  If you did get what you wanted/needed, comfort and/or pray for those who did not. For the first time in four years, those people may feel uncertain and scared of their future.  No matter who you are as an American, please prepare to make the next four years the best they can be for yourself and others. Not just the ones you agree with, but everyone.  If your first reaction to my request was to become angry, then please take a moment to ask yourself why you got angry. The fact that you may not be able to set aside your feelings/convictions to understand how others feel is not what we as a full country need right now. For those of you who aren't American but still have elections in your country, I would kindly ask that you adapt this practice for when yo...

Canlanma Street Level, Story 1

Story 1    The holy incense follows the disciples out of the gilded temple hall. The Shepherd continues to swing the burner as he repeats the old mantras of the faith. The last disciple leaves and the burner settles as the Shepherd contemplates the list of rituals he must perform before the sun sets. The ritual implements have to be cleaned, the sacrifices burned, the acolytes of the temple purified, the-   "Shepherd Thanatos, we have a situation that requires your attention." An acolyte of the temple calls from below the altar. The Shepherd sighs and recites his calming mantra: "What I am about to do has not been approved." The Shepherd walks slowly behind the altar and finds the symbol on the side as he recites "chao regnat" under his breath. The symbol glows and opens a trap door under the altar. Shepherd Thanatos checks for other unwelcomed entities then slips under the altar and down the exposed staircase.   The acolytes in the room part as Shephe...
