    Hey, Drewbear. My house feels almost too cold.

    Hey, clo. I'm not sure what happened. I saw a post by someone and the wheels started turning, and I'm just seeing if I can meet the challenge I set for myself. So far, the words keep coming.

    Hey, all! I've been writing furiously. 9000 words, mostly written yesterday.

    Lol... I admit nothing, but I sure enjoyed writing that little piece. That point you missed about Tobyn being afraid of earth mates because of what happens when one dies is very key to who he is and how he handles things. He would prefer that part of shifter's legacy gone. Of course, that is a burying your head in the sand thing to feel. Still, he witnessed the demise of Fendral, who was so important to him, and it tilted his views immensely. Tobyn is turning himself onto knots over what he is feeling, but he is determined to stick to what he thinks is best for his pack. He's been on a mission, and any kind of movement off it is hard for him to entertain. Thanks for the great comment, Terry. Cheers!

    Had a hard time getting on since last evening. Hello, everyone!

    Happy Anniversary, sweet clochette! I'm so glad this feels safe for all of us.

    Happy to hear you are falling more deeply in love with htis story. That means a lot to hear. Great literature stands up over time, and I am not saying this is great literature, but I know in my heart it is a special story, one many readers will always remember. I'm not quite sure what you meant in your message, but I too feel Tilly's name suits her. She is a tough one, and the entire pack knows it, and loves her for it. Cheers and thanks, buddy.

    The nice thing about a reread is there is no need to rush. When I first read a story I can be impatient to getto the end, but favored novels I have reread, I tend to take my time. I always enjoy conversations about moms. Elinor was fascinating to write. This strong woman who handled such great responsibility with ease and grace, but never hardened like we see in characters on TV and such. She is always a mom. Thanks for this, Terry... much appreciated. Cheers!

    Thanks, Terry! This brought back that feeling I had after writing the healing scene. There was so much left to the story--I knew that--but this chapter felt like a real accomplishment, like I had somehow made it, and that I could do this. Of course this was long before I posted Morningstar. I had many chapters after this under my belt before I was confident I was ready to post. I love that you are seeing those new details. I often refer to writing as 'crafting' and 'weaving' a story, and for me that's exactly what it is. I like when readers absorb the story... and that nothing is 'in their face'. Cheers, my friend.

    Couldn't get on site for a while. How's everyone doing? I had a nice long walk and did some tree pruning, and oh yeah, I wrote another 2100 words for a new story. Talked to a friend from Toronto for a while and caught up with all the gossip. Covid has really screwed up everyone's social life, and there is a big new wave of it happening again... and monkeypox is making the rounds. I think I'm going to watch more of season three of Locke and Key tonight. Have a great night, all!

    You have to be fast around here. I'll try to find a clean shaven one soon.

    It's been great fun for me too.

    He still needs a bib. Hey, bro and Mum in SC.
  23. Headstall
    Sounds like fun!

    Since having covid, all I do is make typos. Almost every word has to be fixed, and a lot of them have the right letters in a completely mixed up order. I thought I was improving but now I'm doubting it. The Lodge is the center of Morningstar, a prosperous business revolving around this unusual but close knit community. It needed to be imposing, and solid. Happy to hear you could picture it so well. Cheers and thanks.

    Lol. Me too. And yes, please remain careful of spoilers. I would hate to see the story ruined for a reader... this is a mystery after all. I liked the challenge of describing the way Kellar's healing works in his conversation with Tobyn. We can see some of it is a mystery even to Kellar. Happy reading, buddy.
