Irene really threw us for a loop. We’ve been through storms like Bertha, Floyd, Fran, etc… Normally it’s the same story. Just a lot of wind, rain, and then we spend the next day raking up all the fallen branches and then pray the lights come back on later in the day. We lost internet […]
Fantasy Gathering A dash of wizardry and dragons
Hurricane Irene and Writing
I tried to deny it as long as I possibly could. With every update the projected path kept moving further and further east. I was so sure that by the time Irene even came close, she’d be pushed off to sea and we’d move on… It seems now that she is coming. With the local […]
State of Vermont
The Daily Post asks: Have you been to where your parents were born? Have you been to where your parents were born? What was it like? If you haven’t been, describe how you imagine it to be. ————– Yes, I have. Many, many times. My parents were born and raised in Vermont. It seems practically […]

Revisiting a topic that never happened…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Flowers
The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge is: Flowers Perfect timing too! My Stapelia Gigantea bloom finally opened this morning. The “Carrion Flower”! Two of the edges curled way back so it looks like an arrow pointing somewhere. The flowers emit a foul smell that draws in flies. The small black ants love marching in just […]
Tinkering in AW
Sometimes if I get a bit too blocked when writing, I just head into ActiveWorlds and tinker around in AlphaWorld. Nothing in specific. I just play with random objects and stuff just unfolds. This is what I built last night and most of this morning. It’s a marketplace with eight stalls. Probably won’t do much […]
Halfway Through
All right! I am halfway through! Racked up 25,719 words as of today. The story is still hidden from me. I’m not sure if I have a whole lot more to discover or if I’ll abruptly come to the very end… but I sort of see the story. Kind of. I mean… It’s unfolding. Everything […]
Weekly Photo Challenge: Entrance
The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge is: Entrance I’m probably going in a rather obscure route. I know people think of doors and gates or something conventional as ‘entrances’ to a place. I didn’t want to go that way. Instead I decided to go off the beaten path and picked a flower. Bees tend to […]
