Distractions…
This time of year, there are plenty of distractions that keep me from sticking to my usual writing schedule + daily quota. Despite my best intentions. Even though I know better. For instance … I never should have loaded Pokemon Shield onto my shiny new Nintendo Switch Lite.
… but I’m having fun?
Maybe if I write drabbles between routes, I can justify this as … incentivization!

Mood Stripes 114: Quiet
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the prosaic one. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 114: Quiet
For one fleeting moment, Kagome thought Miroku was dusting off old schemes, but Shippo’s eyes were wide, his tail puffed double.
“The quiet might have lasted.” Kohaku was completely calm. “They can sleep for years.”
Sango said, “It probably woke because...

Eloquence and Kimiko. I have permission from Aviva to post this in “all the places,” which amounts to … here! Fanart for Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal.

So … I was linked to Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal fanart earlier today (go see!) which somehow led to my setting up a Patreon account. How else was I supposed to like & comment, y’know? But the upshot is … I now have a Patreon account. Looks to me like most people use it to reward their supporters with exclusive content. Which is a little brain-breaky for someone who’s used to luring in followers with free content.
But lets play around with some ideas here.

Mood Stripes 113: Rudimentary
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the one who likes regular baths. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 113: Rudimentary
These people were getting by. Barely. Rudimentary shelter. Scant belongings. And none of the safety found in greater numbers.
“You done good to make it this long.” Inuyasha accepted a bowl and sniffed. “Why’d you pick this place?”

LMM 93: Always the Quiet Ones
Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the one who’s back in fine form.
Chapter Ninety-Three: Always the Quiet Ones
Jacques woke in rumpled clothes, with a tin of caviar stuck to his cheek and a purring Deece warming his back.
At the pitter-patter of approach,...

Lord Mettlebright’s Man
Ten Themes. I combed through the many prompts you offered and picked ten likely ones. If I finish all ten, I’ll post the next set. If you’d like to suggest more themes, the prompt post is located here.

Hint, Hint
Up Next. I tweeted a teaser this morning about the next Songs of the Amaranthine title. While these short stories have always been intended to stand alone, I somehow still manage to give them a teensy tie-in to the main series. This time, that link is … Evernhold. You know what that means, don’t you? ::twinkle::
Cover reveal for Songs #4 is on the calendar for December!
Mood Stripes 112: Warring
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the skeptical one. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 112: Warring
From their polite distance, Kagome alternated between watching Miroku and watching the inu-brothers for reaction. But Inuyasha’s ears were as steady as the magenta in Sesshoumaru’s stripes.
Miroku returned, all smiles. “Refugees. A few families from...
