In the Dungeon

I’ve nothing new to report, I’m afraid, although I have a very good reason for being quiet. I’ve been sent to the research dungeon. I hope this will result in a longer work, but in the meantime, I’m…Well, did you know how many things one can use to whip or flog someone? I thought the ten inch stone walls were to keep the screams concealed from passing ears, but I’m coming to learn that the sounds that need to remain secret sound more like ecstasy to me. I’m good at revealing secrets when the knowledge will benefit my readers. I’ll let you in on the inhabitants who exist here sub rosa as soon as I’ve finished my training.

The Undecided…

I have two residents abiding with me for what I hope will be a short time. They could almost be twins. One is Indecisive; the other Uncertain — I just call them The Undecided. I’m sure they’re affecting my decision-making, but that’s the only thing I can know for certain.

I need to write a new story, but I don’t know whether to make it m/f or m/m. The play was to alternate them but the disquieting fluffy critters that hop around my ankles and sometimes bit infecting my mind with plots (I’ve heard some writers call them plot bunnies, but I think they’re far too vicious to be called that), don’t always behave the way I would like them to. I’m thinking of writing something that crosses both lines, that will be longer than my works to date. I’ve even started, but other labours have called me aside, and the story had to be shelved for now. Sometimes the world outside this cell intervenes; often the other side of my nature, my other alter ego, or my sibling if you wish to call this persona that — I sometimes think this mysterious ‘other’ has white hair while I have black — is too busy to give me any peace. I have to pay attention to the other’s needs before I can find some quiet. I’m one of the missing, but not yet lost.

 

A new Raven has come to roost

I love creative people. Be they writers, musicians, artists, or crafters. I’m pleased to introduce a Raven to my site and the artist who brought it into being. I commissioned painter of things with fur, horns and wings, Ash Evans to create this image. It was my spec but she did a very good job of interpreting what I needed.
