Song of the Week

Red Tail Ring, “Hangman”

Happy Monday! There are many weathers happening in the world, both literal and metaphorical. I hope you are safe, wherever you are.

This week, the final chapter of the first part of The Book of the New Moon Door will be released! I’m very excited. Check back here soon. If you need to catch up, all the previous chapters are available under the Stories tab above.

Once that’s done, I’m going to be gauging interest to see what project I should start releasing next. There will be a poll here on the blog, provided I can get the widget to work. Please keep an eye out for it, because I need as many responses as possible!

Thank you and have an excellent week!

ETA: As of August 30, this blog is two years old!

Song of the Week

The Civil Wars, “Barton Hollow”

Happy Monday!

Not much to report this week; I’m getting ready for the finale of The Book of the New Moon Door (part one, anyway). If you haven’t read the latest chapter, now’s a good time to do it! I am planning on a nice long chapter next week to finish up, but we’ll see if it gets too unwieldy and I have to split it up.

In the meantime, have an excellent week. Take care of yourselves and each other.

Cat Stevens (Yusuf), “O Caritas”

Happy Monday. You may have noticed that there wasn’t a new chapter last week, and I apologize. It should be ready in the next couple of days. Thanks for your patience!

Song of the Week

City and Colour, “Woman”

Good morning. This is coming out a little late, but I hope you enjoy this song.

There will be a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door this week, though I’m not certain when; as you can tell, my schedule is a bit off this week.

In any case, I hope you have an excellent week, and the sun is shining wherever you are.

Song of the Week

Mediaeval Baebes, “Now Welcom Somer” (traditional)

It’s Monday again. I hope you are all well.

There should be a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door up this week, though I’m not sure when I will get around to posting it. Check back soon!

Have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

Alela Diane and Alina Hardin, “Matty Groves” (traditional)

Happy Monday!

Not much to report this week. You can read the latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door here.

The Tea and Sidequests channel will be live on Twitch tonight and Saturday night.

Have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

Emily Smith, “King Orfeo” (traditional)

Happy Monday!

This song, a retelling of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, is one of the few surviving examples of Norn, a Scandinavian dialect that was once spoken in the Orkneys and Shetlands. The refrain goes “Scowan urla grun/ Whar giorten han grun oarlac” (“Early greens the wood/Where the hart goes yearly”). Other extant uses of Norn include names for the colors and patterns of sheep native to the region.

There will be a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door this week! Stop by around Thursday. If you haven’t read the latest chapter, visit the Stories tab (above, or click the link) to catch up!

I’ll also be on or around Twitch tonight and Saturday night. I’m looking forward to getting back to a regular streaming schedule.

Have an excellent week.

Monica Heldal, “Swan”

Good morning! It’s Monday again.

No new chapter this week, but if you missed last week’s chapter, you can find it under the Stories tab above (or just scroll down from here on the home page). Now’s a good time to catch up on The Book of the New Moon Door! Part One will be finished in the next month or so.

I’ll be on Twitch tonight and Saturday night playing some games. You can join me if you like.

Have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

Amelia Curran, “Devils”

Happy Monday! I hope you are seeing some sunshine, wherever you are.

There will be a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door this week, probably Friday or Saturday. My day job is taking up a lot of time this week.

I’ll be on Twitch tonight and Saturday night, and I hope to see you there!

Have an excellent week.

P.S. I’ve wanted to talk about the shooting in Atlanta, but I know that whatever I say will devolve into an examination of my own religious trauma and ancestral connection to American imperialism, so instead I will stand in solidarity with the Asian-American community and leave the speaking to those more directly affected. If you have any extra money, you can donate it to the Atlanta chapter of Asian Americans Advancing Justice.

Song of the Week

Malukah, “The Dragonborn Comes” (from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim)

Happy Monday. I hope the time change has been kinder to you than it has been to me.

If you haven’t read the latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door, you can just scroll down and find it right under this post! There won’t be a new chapter this week, so it’s the perfect time to catch up. There are also more things to read under the Stories and Modules tabs above.

I’ll be on Twitch tonight and Saturday night, so I hope to see you there!

Have an excellent week.
