Song of the Week

Mikky Ekko, “Time”

Happy Monday! Not much to report here. Spring may or may not have finally arrived in a torrent of rain. There will be a new chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea here on Wednesday. See you then!

Shelby Merry, “Don’t Follow”

Happy Monday! I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

We are nearing the end of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea! I’m guessing there will be three or four more chapters. I’ll be back on Wednesday with Chapter XXII. If you’ve been reading and enjoying it, thank you! You can help me out by telling your friends about it 🙂

Have an excellent week.

Florence + the Machine, “Drumming Song”

Happy Monday!

Today is May the Fourth, which is Star Wars Day! To observe this day, I’ll have a Star Wars story up later this afternoon. It’s called Love Song in Six Verses and it’s very sad, though I’ve been told it’s a better love story than Attack of the Clones.

Edit: you can find Love Song in Six Verses here.

I will also be back Wednesday with another chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea.

Have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

Joni Mitchell, “A Case of You”

Happy Monday! It’s finally getting warm here, so soon I will be able to dress like a proper post-apocalyptic villager from a town named after half a street sign. I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

I’ll be back on Wednesday with a new chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea, so I’ll see you then!

Have an excellent week.

Natalie Merchant, “Ophelia”

It’s Monday again. I hope everyone is staying safe.

I’ll be back on Wednesday with a new chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea, so I’ll see you then!

Have an excellent week.

Kamelot, “The Haunting (Somewhere in Time)”

Happy Monday! I hope everyone is staying safe.

I’ll have a new chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea on Wednesday for you. I don’t think I’ll continue with Myst, but I hope to start another project of some sort soon.

Have an excellent week!

Song of the Week

In the Valley Below, “Hymnal”

Happy Monday! Where I am, the sun is finally shining. Perhaps I will venture out into the empty city today and feel like the protagonist of a postapocalyptic novel.

I’ll be back on Wednesday with a new chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea, and on Friday with more Myst gameplay. I’m not sure if I’ll continue with Myst, as it isn’t very entertaining to watch or record (though it is a fun challenge to play), but I do have one more episode recorded and might as well post it.

Stay safe out there!

Song of the Week

Vienna Teng, “Blue Caravan”

Happy Monday! I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe.

I’ll be back on Wednesday with a new chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea, and on Friday with some more Myst gameplay, so if you need something to pass the time while in isolation, I’ve got you covered.

Have an excellent week!

Kate Bush, “Jig of Life”

Happy Monday! I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

Until further notice, the plan is to post a new chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea every Wednesday until it’s finished. I’m not sure how many more chapters that will be; I think we’re past the halfway point, but not by much. It’s turned out to be much longer than I had originally thought, but I’m having fun with it, and I hope you are too.

I am no longer able to stream on Twitch because my internet connection, while free of charge, is not very fast. I end up being more than an hour ahead of the upload, so I can’t chat in real time with any viewers. To pass the time while I’m socially distancing, I’ve decided to upload some gaming videos to YouTube instead, and make them available here on the blog also. I think I’ll be playing Myst: Masterpiece Edition, for a bit of nostalgia, but I’ll have to check if it works on my computer first. You can expect the first video to make an appearance on Friday!

Have an excellent week, and don’t forget to wash your hands!

Song of the Week

Ben Howard, “In Dreams”

Happy Monday!

The enforced closings of restaurants and public places have arrived where I am, and it looks like we’ll all be isolated for the foreseeable future. Please take care of yourselves and each other and wash your hands.

I have plenty here on this blog if you’re in need of something to pass the time. My Call of Cthulhu module, The Well Below the Valley, is now complete! You can start reading here or go to the table of contents under the “Read my writing” tab above. Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea is a free story that is about halfway done; you can start here or see the table of contents under the same “Read my writing” tab. I’ll be back Wednesday with Chapter XIV. And if you need a new twenty-second musical verse to time washing your hands, I have a new Song of the Week every Monday.

Good luck, stay safe, and have an excellent week.
