I love it when I hear from my readers. 🏳️🌈❤️🏳️🌈❤️The third volume in my Dolly Dairies Series, titled 'No-one Inbetween' is out now. This love story is about my hubby and I becoming 'Dad and Daddy! @spectrum-books.com #writersky #writingcommunity #authorsofsky #booksky
#WritingBlueSky
Peppermint, a bard most eloquacious and skilled, dances about the center of a packed tavern twirling and playing her fiddle as she sings the Hunter and the Hair, a stealthily bawdy song, backed by her partners in rhyme Ulrecht and Himmel. As the song comes to its dramatic close with the hunter sticking his knife in the hare the crowd breaks out in applause. After an encore Peppermint leans against a pillar nursing and ale and chatting with a serving boy who loves the song but hates that it ends sadly with the hare dying.
Peppermint explains to the boy that death is a necessary part of life that mortals should not fear and then, in a conspiratorial whisper, lets him know that the song is not about a hunter chasing a small furry animal, that the knife he plunges into the hare is not a knife, adding a lewd hand gesture to hammer the point home. As the boy stares in shock she gives him a little advice: good men don't have to chase women to find love, and tells him to work hard because hard work makes good men.
As Himmel plays his drum and sings Peppermint and Ulrecht work the crowd, gathering information through amiable chat and friendly flirting before leaving for the night where Peppermint, worked up by both the performance and a sack full of silver coins, dances and prances and makes eloquent proclamations before Ulrecht and Himmel tell her to drop the silly minstrel act. Shows over and it's time to be serious.
A little more fiddling around with #covenantofdust introducing Peppermint the wandering minstrel. I LOVE writing her - I get to be as ridiculous and stupid with her dialogue as I want. Need to break out the thesaurus to turn it up to 11.

If you’re preparing to publish your book, one of the most critical steps is securing your ISBNs. As a literary alchemist and author ally, I’m here to teach indie authors how to obtain ISBNs in Canada and the US.

Sorry for lack of new posts (stuff is happening). But here's a nice little short story inspired by Irish Celtic folklore. A train journey. What could go wrong?

In response to my post about "blunt" prose. March 28th #writerscoffeeclub
Thank you @EmpyClaw I will be sure to read it as soon as I dream it […]
The most dangerous character in any story isn't the one who breaks the rules.
It's the one who follows them perfectly and still ends up where the rules were never meant to take them.
That character exposes what the system was actually designed to do.

What's the most unhinged thing you've ever convinced yourself was "just a first draft problem"?
I'll go first:
first 60 pgs will fix themselves eventually with plotting and late explanations—didn't happen, I had to fix them

Steel has been expecting Tristan's announcement that he's not loving his job anymore for a while now. He wasn't expecting his proposed solution.

What are everyone's goals for this week? Mine are the same as last week: get plenty of reading and writing done, and survive the week. (Let's hope Passover doesn't complicate that second goal.)

Vibrate | Duggy may be just a LITTLE excited that he has access to the Internet again. Give him a break though, the apocalypse has been very lonely and dangerous so far.
