Flame

Teh Shiny!!

My language rocks.ย  Observe. Pay attention. One false move now…Flame breathed relief as she landed a toe on the balcony. A light flashed, but she’d been told to expect that. Flame eased down to stand, and waited. โ€œWho comes?โ€ โ€œVrafha Jamrhee kivoriynle junรฉ.โ€ I bring warning. โ€œA Vral?โ€ A figure appeared behind flowing curtains, a […]

Too Tired Part Duh

But I wrote this today. โ€œThere’s something…โ€ Bran muttered, staring into the forest. โ€œI see shadows, but ahead of them…โ€ โ€œA cat!โ€ Kessa yelped from her tree. โ€œIt’s a hearth-cat! The poor thing! Tolorโ€”โ€œ โ€œWe cannot help it,โ€ the cleric cut in. โ€œGuard yourself, Kessa.โ€ Flame counted dogs and bet herself a guilder that streak

Ve-get-a-bles

I made a yummy dinner with lots of vegetables in it tonight. “You are what you eat,” explains the rest of my evening. Well, it’s not that bad.ย  I did send the first chapter of Flame to Race, and she’s very happy.ย  (Yay!!)ย  She asked for a bit more description, though, and I allowed that
