The Wordsmith's Forge

 Foggy meadow.

 ... is a Russian grandmother with an axe.  I'm generally not in favor of killing wolves, but when one is arguing over whether you and your livestock are edible, that's sufficient grounds.

Here is a devastatingly accurate essay about why Twilight is creepy, is shabby literature and film, and yet is wildly successful anyhow.

What I Have Written

"Drawing the Triangle" (story in progress)
This is about the formation of Omorth's trefoil.

"The Smell of Sunset" -- 51 lines, $10 or 10 TW Credits
From the prompt about orange color, I got the poem "The Smell of Sunset."  Nleimen tests a new tube of orange watercolor paint for Vloroshaal.

"Unicorns on Parade" -- 257 words, $2.57 or 3 TW Credits
I combined the prompts about a citizen's view of Northerners and a newspaper article. The result is "Unicorns on Parade," a grayrag article. 

If you are a Torn World supporter, you can now read my poem "Patterns in the Grass."
Feral horses are always alert for danger.

This book doesn't even exist yet.  By the time I heard about Larry Elmore's Kickstarter, it was already funded to the first stretch goal.  More would be just lovely.  If you are active at all in fantasy or gaming, you've seen his art; he's one of the legends.  Go throw something in his treasure chest.
