Shifting Ideas

-

     Today was a day that I knew was coming. 

    A lot of promising things have now proven to begin to spoil. Things that I was hoping to get done by this time of year (and really, things I thought I would get done since 2018) have fallen by the wayside. Crochet things, writing things, reading things, and especially social things are finding their rotting sprouts trampled under the feet of the life I have had since I started this blog. Honestly, any blog that I've had. (Yes, I have had blogs before this one. They are long gone now.)

    It takes a lot to finally break my own tower of unfilled promises and ideals. Especially when I have so much internal motivation to get them done, but not enough external energy to get them done. And it definitely hurts to look at the things I've wanted to do and tell myself to drop it. To let it go. To let go of the things I promised. 

    But with that in mind, I can begin again. I can look at things I truly wanted to do and make some progress on those things. Things that make me happy to do. 

    As far as online things go, you may see me in a lot of different places. I'm taking a look at finding different outlets for a lot of different ideas that I have that won't work in some areas. 


    With all that in mind, there are two spaces I will always keep updated as often as I can: here and Discord. 

    At some point, I may make my own Discord again so I can keep everyone up to date on everything I have going on or want to go on. But for now, I'm mostly in Uncle Bronze's Discord (check him out for tarot reading, spiritual stuff, and video game livestreams) which is enough for me.


    Anyway, those are all my thoughts at the moment. I will get some more writing up here starting next week. 

Love and Strength, 

Animus

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...
