Okay -now- the bookmarks are done...

I had to adjust Faerai's a bit. Her eyes weren't popping and Ozma's eyes were showing through its back. Also color. She's very vibrant and the other one wasn't vibrant enough. >.>

Done! Perhaps. You tell me, my eyes hurt.
#WealdandWen bookmarks be done if it is though.

Coffee and staying up to finish this bookmark is a good idea. Yes. Very good idea.

As he should be. I did a little dance when I said goodnight. He's fifteen now, he does not require the goodnight dance... but it still made him laugh and he'll be going to bed giggling.

So maybe you're never too old for the goodnight dance.

"Mother, are you okay?"
"No!" I answer in a far too chipper fashion.
"Are you manic?"
"Yisss."
"How. You were fine!"
"I think it was the party, but it's not too bad. I'm just staying up a little late and focusing on one thing for too long. It'll go away soon. Probably."

He is very concerned...

It's nice to see the new taglines for my stories working. As in I've been told they're more interesting and a better descriptor with fewer words.

It's mostly nice because I went with, "this is how I'd describe these to my friends"... so they're not serious at all and that seems to be a positive.

If you want a vexed puppet on your... everything, probably, we could say Parnamyr is one. His scenes serve to up the horror, if anything. There's also Auru dealing with missing herd members and a sudden lack of living components for their lights, also horror.

It's horror all the way down really.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Do you have any side characters with their own adventures going on in the background of your story?

Do we get many glimpses?

Is it in the same genre as your main work? E.g. romance in the background of horror?

Four hours in and I'm not done but I'm done for today. Stupid complicated puppet.

It is pretty silly. It's possible they think one request is enough and maybe don't know libraries are charged more when buying books. The distribution sites suggest 5x your regular purchase price when listing for libraries. For ebooks. I'm not sure for print. Either way... they need reason to do it.
November 24, 2025 at 6:43 PM
What they fail to mention, when they say 'just get it at the library' is you have to *request* it, and usually need more than just you doing it. You can get newer books there, but you have to ask for them.

I wouldn't call it a 'career path' but I've tried to make a few things into a career. Turns out that's difficult to do with creative mediums, especially when you've not been able to get any degrees for the jobs in those fields that actually make money to supplement this fool dream you have.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

I have 'entrance' from #beliegered which I am not writing because I have a mirror horror short to write and submit and can't get lost in a novel-length romance of monstrous old men right now, #WIPSnips, I cannot. Stop me before I do.

I am going to finish Parnamyr's bookmark tomorrow.

I am not going to sleep half the day and play Baldur's Gate 3 for the other half, ignoring all of my responsibilities.

I am going to finish Parnamyr's bookmark tomorrow, then write a short story about a mirror monster.

I've run out of Witch Hat Atelier to read and now I am sad.

And of course I forget:

Faerai dyes hers. The yellow bits are dye, her fur is naturally a bluish-purple like most Fyrni but as most also do she dyes sections of hers with homemade pigments. The color is important but only to her.
November 24, 2025 at 4:07 AM
As for importance, it is important to Delgrij and Faerai as both of their cultures put significance in the tending of it. Not one's own, really, but should you be invited to braid Fyrni (Faerai) or Napyr (Delgrij) hair you are likely either family or lover.

Mitra uses hers as a blanket.

Creatures in the twin woods are covered in fur or their 'hair' is an extension of their skin. So they keep it long.

Fur gets trimmed but the vines don't. Both grow back but cutting vines for beauty's sake would be like cutting a fingertip off to make your nail look longer.

November 24, 2025 at 4:05 AM
Delgrij: thin white vines covered in red leaves that drape past his shoulders, loose or braided.
Faerai: longer fur down her back in purple and yellow, braided or tied.
Mitra: iridescent malleable crystal sections twice as long as she is tall, loose or half-bun.
Parnamyr: he wishes

From November 28th-29th all of my #ebooks will be $.99 each.

Give the gift of discomfort, grief, terror, loneliness, ravenous hunger, salacious violence, obsessive love and apocalyptic sex clowns. Who knows, someone might even thank you for it.

Me, "I'm going to print sections of this map so I can mix and match and confuse my players while also giving them a chance to work out where the hell they are."

Foxit reader and my printer, "you're going to waste ten sheets of cardstock trying to get the sizes right before you give up and cry."

The walk fixed nothing but I'm glad I took it.
