Hard Things


Last week's Holiday Poetry Sale went well. I have posted 16 of the 36 sponsored poems.

Winterfaire 2022 is still open. If you make gift-suitable things to sell, come post a booth; if you're shopping, come let us know what for. Boost the signal to attract more activity!


There are two open epics at present.

"The Heart's Best Tenant" belongs to the Steamsmith. Charlotte has good ideas.

"Within the Souls of Men" belongs to Shiv and happens shortly after the Omaha Incident story arc. Shiv and Luci visit the Omaha reservation to unwind.


The weather has been viciously cold here. We spent several days huddled in blankets with all the heat on. Fortunately it's back to normal now. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a large flock of sparrows, several starlings, two pairs of cardinals, a pair of downy woodpeckers, a yellow-bellied woodpecker, and a fox squirrel.
