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!

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.
Fiona Apple, “Criminal”
Happy Monday!
Not much to report this week. I’ll be trying to finish this draft of my manuscript, so there won’t be a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door. Once this draft is finished, there will be new and exciting things happening, so stay tuned.
I’ll be on Twitch tonight and Saturday night, 6pm US Central.
Have an excellent week.
Stevie Ray Vaughan, “Pride and Joy”
Happy Monday! I’ve lived in the Midwest too long to proclaim that spring is here, because winter will inevitably reappear to punish me for my hubris, but it has been very nice outside.
There will be a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door this week! Visit the Stories tab above to catch up before that happens, which should be Friday at the latest.
The Tea and Sidequests channel will be live on Twitch this evening and Saturday evening. ETA: Not on Saturday, I forgot about another commitment. Sorry about that.
I think that’s all. 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.
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.
Howard Shore/J.R.R. Tolkien, “The Passing of the Elves”
Happy Monday! I hope the sun is shining on you today.
Now would be a good time for a general reminder that a new President does not mean all–or any–of our problems are solved. Here is a form to contact the White House and send a strongly-worded message, perhaps about student loan relief, COVID relief, immigration reform, or the recent bombing in Syria.
No new chapter this week, so now’s a good time to get caught up! All the available chapters are under the Stories tab above.
I’ll be on Twitch tonight and Saturday night, 6-8pm Central time.
I will see you again soon. Have an excellent week.
