I am not in fact dead.
I thought I'd get that out of the way right now, although in 2016, that's probably the equivalent of tempting fate ( Read more... ) -

Recent terror attacks in Turkey and Belgium remind me how fragile life really is in times of trouble. I hope that we who are spoiled and safe in our privilege never forget that people are dying every day in this war that humanity has declared upon itself. Take a moment. Reflect on the losses and then be grateful for the security that you enjoy. ( Read more... ) -
Also on the subject of gratitude...
My sister, the lovely and talented macdubh31, sent me two posters that she's had made. One features her gorgeous photography, and the other showcases the amazing covers she's made for my books. At the advice of yeopard, I'm going to put the poster of the book covers up in my cube at work. It will give me hope for an escape when things get rough in the day-to-day ( Read more... ) -

I am also very grateful to browngirl for the copy of John Masefield's Arthurian poetry. I'm thoroughly enjoying it, and it's given a different spin to certain elements (such as Uther and Ygerna's relationship, for one - no mention of Merlin or Gorlois here!). I'm currently reading about Morgause falling into the hands of the pirate King Lot. I'm loving it ( Read more... ) -

It's been a rough couple of days. I've been sick with stomach flu, which meant that I went unmedicated from a depression stand point for a while. That in turn meant that I was thinking all manner of rash and unreasonable things about life, the universe and everything (especially my writing). Today is a bit better, and for that I'm thankful. -
King Arthur
As some of you may know, I'm working on a retelling of the Arthurian story, which I'm calling "Arthur Rex." Arthur is the central character, naturally enough, and I've been doing a deep dive into the writing that's come before me ( Read more... ) -
So, uh...hi.
It's been a long while since I've posted here. I don't even know where to start with filling in the space between then and now, so I probably won't. I think there aren't enough people who (a) don't know from Facebook or real life or (b) even care, so this is just the re-introduction post and to tell you that I'm back. -
divination
So, I've got this thing called the Mystic Messenger that uses four d12s as divination tools. It sounds really cheesy, but I've gotten some really, really good readings on it ( Read more... ) -

In other other news, in the last few weeks, yeopard and I have watched and enjoyed every episode of the erstwhile TV show The Unit. In all 89 episodes we've watched, there was only one that was really abysmal, and the majority have been enjoyable. A few have been outstanding. I'm glad that I discovered the show, and also glad that I was essentially ( Read more... )
