The Nameless Voyage.
The darkness wrapped around them like a warm blanket as the salty water splashed over the boat’s edge; they had started their journey. The cool air and building breeze failed to sap the excitement among the passengers as the boat felt its way through the waves. The blackness of the midnight sea rippled like a […]

Gute Nacht, Freunde!

Today was mostly a recovery day.

However, I had my mastermind meeting, and I feel quite hopeful about my plans. I have many, for the Wolves, the Winds & Pillars and even my dragons.

I'm also thinking about creating another marketing option for indie authors, but I'll need to team up with some database experts for that. Fun times.

#PennedPossibilities 688: What does your MC do for a living? Are they self-employed, or do they work for someone else?

Devil-girl: Her avocation is scholar (in something that looks like magic). What she ends up doing is being the very sharp tool of a succession of antagonists because she has talents, and at some level must be gullible.

May Ri: Design engineer. She works for the people of Mars building their future.

Streak Carryingaton and Thorn Rose: Rainy Day's students, later astronauts. Not something you work for yourself doing. Oh, almost forgot. Thorn did put in a two week stint as an Occupational Military Governor, which is too hard to explain, but stuff like that happens when Rainy Days is your teacher.

#WordWeavers 2025.06.03 — Is your MC a good cook? Any special dishes?

None of the current crop of MCs are particularly exceptional cooks, though cooking and dishes are mentioned.

When Streak's uncle left them and at the age of 10, Streak became responsible for caring for his younger and older sister, which meant cooking for them and his mother. School had taught him to cook as part of Men's Studies. He never says whether he has any skill, but maybe that's one of the reasons his sisters dislike him?

The devil-girl never mentions it as part of the past she ran away from, but the estate had to have had cooks. They put on state dinners she had to host. Nevertheless, she is not snobby about food other than never demonstrating a skill or inclination. Early on, I have her eating her world's equivalent of a ramen cup, you know, the ones you pour boiling water into and wait three minutes? She is happy when a guy buys her something like a Philly cheesesteak, made with eggplant. They are vegetarian. At one point she dumpster dives…

May Ri in one sequence makes chicken soup, but from her tenor it seems like a strictly recipe type thing. With the help of a friend she gets a freshly dressed bird and collects the vegetables from the farm, carrots, leeks, napa cabbage, squash… Mind you, this happens on Mars inside a domed city.

There is a lot of restaurant food in the recent stories, otherwise!
