Sinfulwolf

Happy New Year to all my AFF friends and family! 

M Denis Villeneuve had best be working on Dune Part Two, or I shall hunt him down, remove his liver with my bare hands, and offer it to the Morrigan.
And yes, Part One was an enormous improvement over David Lynch’s effort, although I might had chosen differently for the role of Lady Jessica. But by and large, c’est incroyable!

Pondering an angel corruption story… oh why can’t I just keep on track with my WIPs?

Pondering an angel corruption story… oh why can’t I just keep on track with my WIPs?

Ok, so last time the news was nerve-wracking, but I’m happy to report that things have improved substantially.  My little brother is fine (his symptoms never got worse than the mild ones I described last time), and my middle brother’s wife has tested negative several times now, so it seems she was never infected.
Still sort of nervous about my aunt, but that’s two out of three COVID-related things that have turned out well so far.
With all that in mind, I have some reviews to catch up on.  I know Invidia  has started reading Mortuus Orbis, and of course JayDee has left reviews of every chapter, and @Sinfulwolf has left three wonderful reviews on the finale of WitS, so over the next few days I’ll endeavor to respond to all of those.
As for what’s coming up next, I have at least two things to work on in the near future.  Both of them are science fiction stories tied to another work, one that’s not on AFF and I don’t really want to describe here.
Suffice it to say I make weird friends for who I am.  Then again the first friend I made here was JayDee so maybe not that weird.
In the case of the longer one, my co-writer has asked if she could just start writing, so I have to make an effort to keep pace lest I be left behind (as well as work out precisely which of us will be writing what scenes).  I know Sparrow may be concerned at the moment, but I don’t quite know what the co-writing process with her will be like, so it may not eat up as much time as one might fear, and after the weekend, I will endeavor to be on Discord more often.
I have another idea for a story called Below, but that doesn’t have anybody waiting for it, so it can be placed on hold until other things get done.
Bringing it all back to the beginning of this post, thank you to everyone who wished my family well and offered prayers and support.  You have no idea how much I appreciated all of that.

Because I think we need wondrous things in our lives, I decided to donate to help purchase JRR Tolkien’s home to help create a Tolkien Centre:

I don’t know if anything will come of it, but I feel like I should do some little thing for all the joy he’s given me for all these years. 

Chapter 15 of Blood and Lace is up. The entire story is looking like it’s going to be 20 Chapters.

Wishing @DemonGoddess a very Happy Birthday, from one cranky old thing to another!       

Chapter count for The Woman in the Statue is being changed again, this time to 11 chapters.  This isn’t because I’ve added a ton more story or anything; it’s just a matter of word count.  For instance, even after splitting Chapter 10 into 10 and 11, what I have of the final chapter is still over 11,000 words, and I am not done.
Of course, I wouldn’t be posting this just to say that.  Ok, so...*deep breath*
I will be posting Chapter 10 of 11 of WitS one week from today.  That chapter is done (and JayDee’s already seen it) so that won’t be a problem.  One week after that, Chapter 11 goes up, and we finally finish this.
Full disclosure: I’m terrified.  Fingers crossed, everyone!

Here’s to all those morrowind lovers out there <3

Let’s all raise a glass of mead to @foeofthelance, and wish him a very happy birthday! I’m going to owe you two glasses of mead at the next RenFaire, lad!    

Well. Five days without Internet thanks to Isaias, and I’m counting myself lucky because I still had power throughout. My neighborhood is mostly private houses and was largely in the dark from Tuesday until about 11:15pm last night. And ConEd is getting an increase this year…  

Starting a new Amazon tale, this one with a focus around the Festival of Motherhood.

Computer been busted for 2 and a half months now. Had to get a chromebook to get some writing done and post, and have to use data. 
So… that’s where I’ve been.

I’m about to start writing the final battle between Luzurial and Eparlegna, which comes in roughly two phases.  Let me remind you, that hasn’t been written yet.
Combined word count of chapter and epilogue as of now: 13,115
I will in no way be surprised if I hit 20,000 by the time I’m done.  I would just like to apologize to everyone in advance.
For the curious, the previous longest chapter of the story was Chapter 7, at 13,043 words.

As of 1 hour 18 minutes ago, I am officially 34 years old.
Time for the annual bout of freaking out about all the things I haven’t done in my life!

The very happiest of birthdays (very nearly belatedly!) to @DemonGoddess  Wishing you nothing but good things (and some time off)!
   

I have completed the NaNoWriMo challenge!  50k words written in The Target, which still isn’t completed!  Hurrah!  Woo!

It was 27 years ago today that the daft bugger and I decided to do that marriage thing. I have a sneaky feeling it’s working out.

Went to the 50th Anniversary Tour show for Jethro Tull last night. Ian Anderson’s voice is rough, but gods, that flute of his… and he can still play on one leg!   

I love my parents.
I’m at work late. I turn around and the arizona rain hit. Its raining sideways the wind is howling and moaning and my car is in the farthest reaches of the parking lot.
and my parents of all people drive up and help me to my car.
I don’t deserve them.
