If you saw the room you would probably think that a change was needed. Harley Orange & Black. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparrowMarie Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I was going through my writing folder in Drive and found a thing that was based off a dream I had a long time ago. I could've sworn I'd started writing it. I remember, or think I remember, vague details of what I'd written but can't find the doc anywhere. These are the notes I have about the dream: Today. Today was the day the fish left. It happens most years but this year was different. The fish were just gone.// Today the black birds left the forest. I think they’re gone for good.// You can’t see the forest for the black hole. That’s what they tell me but I’ve never seen either. This island is barren. I want to see this forest and ever illusive black hole.// It rained today. No sound came but it rained. No pitter patter on the roof, just silence.// Should be enough to get me going. Might map out some stuff if I can but might just run with it. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 20 hours ago, Lord of the Dish Pit said: I've now given myself homework. All this talk of writing got the ideas flowing and now I find myself needing to do some in depth research on Pope, Hardin, and Williamson Counties in Southern Illinois. In one of my earlier stories, a group of bank robbers holes up in an abandoned motor lodge in Shawnee National Forest that is the den of a very hungry eldritch entity. The entity ties in with my version of Cahokia, and while another of it's ilk plays a large role several years later, the one in Southern Illinois didn't return except for the occasional mention. Well, now I've got a rough outline for it's history from 1600 to 2004, and the few snippets of interesting things I've been able to find out about the area are tying in nicely so far, and ideas aplenty for a series of short stories about it. Which on one hand I'm quite happy about, on the other, I'm having a hard enough time finishing what I've already been trying to work on as it is. I did kind of see this coming though, I've been bingeing on old school psychic detective stories, Dr. Taverner, John Silence, etc, and recently hit the collected works of Manly Wade Wellman. I hadn't read too much of Wellman's work until recently, and it's kind of interesting how many of my ideas run so close to his at times. I was surprised to find he liked to use Montague Summers' works and the Compendium Maleficarum as reference or in one case, a direct story seed, as I'm fond of trying to keep the supernatural element in my stories grounded in the same or in line with the ideas of the Golden Dawn. I was also trying to think up a way to use the "Bloody Benders" of Kansas in something, only to discover Wellman wrote a novel about them around 1960. Ninja'd by several decades... Of course this project isn't made easier by the fact that the furthest South I've been in Illinois is Pana, so I'm not exactly sure if the layout of Shawnee could hide an abandoned motor lodge for decades... Absolutely you can hide in those forests! I'm in Williamson County. Find the book "Bloody Williamson" it will have a lot of good information for your premise... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWulfe Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Figures. Well played Mr weather. Well played. First time it hasn't been cloudy at night AND I can technically stay up late.. I'd rather be playing Elite Dangerous. I swear it being five below outside has absolutely nothing to do with this. I also suspect it's the fact I don't want to walk out twenty minutes to get to a semi-dark (for the city) area, then set up, then realize I'm insanely tired, and now half an hour away from home.

Have you ever seen the move that they made from one of his books? The Legend of Hillbilly John. Based on the John the Balladeer series. I will not say it is a good film. The Auld Grump - I used to tell two of the stories from that series - Oh, Ugly Bird and Mandy, Mandy. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPete Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) I got my flu shot yesterday morning before bed and, man, I am very off kilter now. I don't feel sick as much as I just feel... Off. Like, something isn't quite right but I can't put my finger on it. Thankfully, I won't be messing around with sharp objects or minis tonight. Edit: Um, I just watched the video from Lawful Masses about Hero Forge and I have many feelings...

I usually don't react to flu shots, but this one made for a pretty miserable day after. Just felt off and sore all over. Temp was higher than normal, but not fever high. It helped make this a very long week. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangaroorex Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 saturday morning of a vacation week. Me and Mrs. Rex are off for a week! Hopefully i gave enough warning and snapped at enough people that i will actually get some time away from work for a while. but enough of that, I am off for a week! Gaming today, gaming tomorrow, and off to North Carolina for a week in a red white cabin rental property. Not perfect but I had to improvise at the last minute when the rental company called to say that the last tenants had blown out the electrical system in the cabin and it was uninhabitable for our stay Hopefully the new place will be as nice as it looks. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
