Some Old, Something New, Something Borrowed

-

   So, I'm sitting here with a bit of anticipation. Soon enough, I will be meeting up with new friends to have a little fun. Then I get some time to really get things sorted out with some time off work.

  Now some older stuff gets involved as well. Not only with what I will be doing later this week, but something I have decided to do for the blog in general. After some time thinking about it, I will be posting some of my really old writing from my previous attempts to blog. Stuff that hasn't seen the light of day since 2016, from the looks of the file I have saved on the computer. These will be for me -well, all of us, honestly- to have a taste of how I used to write and to see what progress I may have made. This will probably include old canon of my fantasy world that I hope to re-incorporate into its current canon for Dungeons and Dragons (and potentially publication). 

  I guess that counts as me borrowing my own work? I'm not sure.

  Anyway, enjoy the future content. I'm going to try my best to make sure to keep up with this, but -as usual- I can't make any promises. But I will try my best. 

  Oh, and before I forget, I'm going to re-instate any of the older series I had on this blog. I figured I might as well, considering I am not using of that content at the moment for new iterations. 

  That should be it. I hope y'all have an awesome week/day.

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...
