Still living in a construction zone, so I can't really find the mental space / peace / energy to write. But I did draw this yesterday while laid up in bed!
I've never been great at landscapes. Working on it, though.

Just beat Caves of Qud after LITERAL YEARS of failed / aborted attempts. Final build was a double-muscled centaur barbarian with a scorpion tail, triple-wield axes, and the ability to summon alternate universe copies of myself.
Y'all, I think this might be my favorite game of all time.

If you don't hear from me for a while, it's because I'm hiding out by the lake right now. Three days to wrangle this novel into shape...

I've been making friends with this goofy little guy over the past few months (okay, maybe he's not so little). Today I caught him... flossing, I guess? Idk, you tell me.

I keep forgetting about, and then being reminded of, the time John Boyne wrote a "historical" recipe for red dye that included several monster drops from Breath of the Wild.
