Nanowrimo 2020 day 2
Hannah stood beside the door until five to five, uncomfortably aware of the weight pressing down through the soles of her feet. She needed new shoe liners. Her muscles and joints could take the hours of standing up straight, but her heels were becoming, frankly, hooves. The room emptied, then filled again as a group... Continue Reading →
NaNoWriMo 2020 day 1
I don't know what this one is called yet - it's a heist story about elderly witches. (For NaNoWriMo people dare themselves to write 50,000 words of fiction in a month without going back to edit.

Hooks, Drunkendwarf and I jumped in the car with all three doggos and took a drive to the... Continue Reading →

Up- skilling
Drunken Dwarf has been up-skilling these last couple of weeks. He decided that welding needed to be on his list of ‘can do’s’ As he will need a mobile hammer and tong rack in his forge when it’s ready that is his learning project.
