Many plotlines in the novel I'm currently working on are enhanced by intricate settings, so I have found it useful to create 3D CAD models of building interiors to inspire and inform my writing. You can see images of a few in the latest issue of my newsletter: delibro.substack.com/p/sheer-gran...

My wife and I recently celebrated our quarter-century wedding anniversary. We've been playing cribbage every one of those 25 years, so I built an over-sized outdoor cribbage board complete with jumbo pegs. It also accommodates a couple of wine glasses quite nicely.
