Well now even Christmas is over!

Goodness, I'd forgotten about this page…again. Oh well. We had a great Christmas; I was off for ELEVEN whole days and it was bliss. Lisa even fixed up the Christmas Village and it was all great stuff.

The sad part is always taking it down, and our poor, (very) dead tree still sits in our living room, forlornly…once again we were unable to get it out of there by the time we were supposed to, and have ended up with a giant, dead tree that we have no idea what to do with!

In other news, my friend Lex has inspired me to start writing again as she likes my Wodestone stories, and I can't express how much fun that is knowing that. I can't wait to get to write them again, and I'm going to start doing so.

It's been well over a decade since I did any writing so I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out. That plus I've finally worked in long-rumored mythic city Houkh Nar - although I may change the spelling to Houh Knar. Or something like that. Even though it's not really remotely Arabic in nature. I always envisioned it being so, but we'll see. I am wondering now if I'm more interested in Houkh Nar than in Wodestone; I have always liked the brilliant ideas Fritz Leiber hinted at in Lankhmar and I wanted to do my own version of it.

I think I may be getting ahead of myself though; let's just stick to the one short story and see what comes out of the rest of it.
