There. Chapter 3 written. It is rich and fat with kobold goodness. I shall send it to @nycteris.bsky.social my faithful alpha reader first, and then to my patreon when my brain recovers.

I caught a shiny Spewpa, which I assume makes me a Pokémon Master and I win the game.

Today Windows told me yet again that it will install Windows 11 and my only choice was 'now' or 'tonight, by surprise, when Windows feels like it'. Yet again it installed Windows 11, got to the end, went 'nevermind' and reinstalled Windows 10.

Today I learned again a fundamental truth: People like kobolds.

The move is done. All of the crazy steps to get here are done. I have a room of my own again. Guess what the first thing to happen was?

Yep, my inspiration came back and I had to write.

I am tired. I will give it to my loyal alpha reader tonight and post it on Patreon tomorrow.

I want to thank the criminal in Dwarf Fortress that actually managed to escape with one of my artifacts for bringing it with her when she returned to try to steal something else.

I want to thank me for naming her 'KILL ME' so when she showed up again I recognized her.

You should be. That is good stuff.

Also this contains ruiness.bandcamp.com/track/its-ge... which makes me cry every time.

My battery is low, and it's getting dark.

In case anyone was unaware, in 1973 an Italian pop singer who spoke no English wrote a song meant to SOUND like English. He was wildly successful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU-w...

No my authoring is not dead! Neither is my Patreon! Things slowed down enough for me to get a little writing done, and I decided I should give my latest inspiration a try and see what people think. As a possible book sample, you don't have to be a member of my Patreon to read it.

Kerbal Space Program needs to be Kobold Space Program. They act EXACTLY like kobolds.
