I didn't get around to doing the Archive stuff I was planning to do yesterday. Fortunately the Archive is taking a sabattical for a week. UNfortunately, that's because the host is having a bad time.
I aim to be working on those stories today.
I'm moderating the promptcast again so we'll see how well that goes.
Story whenever story happens.
Read more »Victoria Constance Emalia Stanford has become enamored with her new husband, the son of the volcano god. He’s handsome, charming, everything she could dream of, and he returns her feelings in kind. The only hitch is that he can bathe in lava, something her flesh is too sensitive to bear. However, Nalani knows of a mask which will strengthen Victoria’s skin and let her enjoy a liquid stone Jacuzzi with her hubby.

I know what the prompt is for the Archive and, after I get the tale of the day done, I'll have a go at writing that lot. Depending on how long I can withstand the knowledge of the blank document awaiting some fiction.
I now know how to acquire more heel inserts for my spurs! Yay. The knowledge shall be passed along to my Physio because others may be suffering for the want of them. But I have my replacements and a

They need to die anyway, but this gives them a bit of dignity, and fresh air. You know, 'cause I'm such a nice person. -- Anon Guest

Hopefully, getting her to read the screens will solve it.
I have reviews to write for the Archive, a story to write for the Temple of Notes, and
Read more »During a massive storm they put their tent up over the nest of tiny yellow dragons with blue spots, protecting it from the weather, and then slept peacefully, if uncomfortably, in their carriage.
They awakened to find not only were they now completely immune to the deadly stings, but the small creatures now nested in the carriage protecting them from bandits and other deliberate hostiles. -- Anon Guest

Read more »She was an ancient vampire, the one she loved? Well, she was a werewolf. They knew their love was, technically, forbidden due to ancient rules. Werewolves and vampires did not stay together like that. But they didn't care. They took precautions, and they were in love. -- Fighting Fit
Children of the night... what complicated drama they make.
Under the light of stars, a wolf runs, and a bat flits through the sky. This would not seem out of the ordinary even
Read more »I have bread in progress, a shrink appointment, my ankle to tend and some offerings to push forth. Including the weekly installment of My Baby Now.
(Quasi Update) I forgor to write this while I was getting on with all that stuff in the first paragraph. Whoopsydoodle.
Nevertheless, the weekly story installment is out. The flash fiction is about to get out. I'm one more fold away from putting the dough to rest in the fridge, and I'm still slightly nuts.
Yay?
Read more »Remember my students. A bully only has power over you for as long as you let them have it. That includes family members who bully you as well. But remember, the only power over you that anyone has, is the power you give them. Believe in yourself, and you'll be able to believe in those who truly care. -- Lessons
It sounded so nice. Believe in yourself and the horrid people would leave you alone. Cordelia's problem was that some of the
Read more »The blood test was a fasting test, so I am just now sitting down to breakfast at 7:30 with a hole in my arm.
I have yet to write for the Promptcast or the Archive, so I'll be focussing on that before I get to today's tale.
I got a lot of writing ahead of me... so of fucking course I'm having focus issues.
On with the tikkatakka.
Read more »She was older, heavy, with hair that was greying and she walked slowly with a cane. But when a young ruffian came up and tried to be an ass toward her, the individual found that cane could still be quite an effective, painful, deterrent. No one mocked her ever again. -- Anon Guest
Birron was old enough to know better. Many grownups told him that. But he also wanted to fit in with the awesome, older kids. He was willing to do

The being looked upon them and shook a heavy head. "We're not called that." / "Iz been zleeping for a long time. Wvat...are....ze called dzen?"
"Once I set camp to rest, we can talk, is that alright?" / "Of courze."
It was a long talk late into the night, and
The Archive is doing its thing. Soon, the Promptcast will be doing theirs and I shall be working as moderator on their chat.
And probably also working on the prompt from the Archive as well. Maybe even working on today's story. Going hog wild over here [/sarcasm]
I shall have money enough to start paying the bills again tomorrow. I'm going to leave it one more week before I call the Mower in to tame the yard. Insulation against disaster and all.
