I’m talking cast iron, baby
You know, it kind of sicks me up to think this pan gains flavor from what’s cooked in it.
NaNoWriMo 2021
I’m attempting NaNoWriMo, though I’m not holding myself too sternly to completing it. Just trying is enough. (The last few years have been such complete and total shit.)
The post for it is on my Patreon, and is available for Patrons of all levels. So if you want to follow along, for $1 you can enjoy my NaNoWriMo journey => https://www.patreon.com/posts/58284963.
The working title is "Castle," though it encompasses the history of a whole world affected by the arrival of a modern day man named Roland Desmond.
He doesn’t give them gunpowder or big machines, but he does give them some modern ideals and the means to create their own path toward technology.
Plus he becomes the first Emperor of their world.
It is a work-in-progress that I’ll be updating as I go along. I don’t want to spam anyone’s inbox, so I’ll do a "notify patrons" every few days, though updates will likely be more frequent than that.
He became the first Roland. The first Emperor of the World.
And his name–Desmond–was split into two new Royal Lines, and 14 Royal Houses rose to power with his wedding to his Fourteen Brides. And from one of those Lines would the next Roland be chosen.
DesSola ("dess-sol-ah") – e’Sola
DesKarta ("dess-car-tah") – eKarta
DesNoran ("dess-nor-ahn") – e’Noran
DesHana ("dess-hahn-ah") – e’Hana
DesBata ("dess-baht-ah") – e’Bata
DesGora ("dess-gore-ah") – e’Gora
DesTeran ("dess-tair-ahn") – e’Teran
MondArte ("mond-art-ay") – h’Arte
MondaRelakot ("mond-rell-ah-cot") – h’Relakot
MondSurot ("mond-ser-aht") – h’Surot
MondBenat ("mond-ben-aht") – h’Benat
MondDenate ("mond-den-ah-tay") – h’Denate
MondKuramot ("mond-ker-ah-maht") – h’Kuramot
MondTurok ("mond-ter-ah-k") – h’Turok
Roland Desmond brought the warring clans together under his banner, and introduced many sweeping changes that proved beneficial to the people.
History would recognize him as Roland Desmond, the God-Blessed, who had come to World in the midst of a godly battle, and had stayed to bring peace and prosperity to everyone.
Because of him, "Roland" became synonymous with Emperor, and there was only ever one Roland. Though there were many princes.
ARD = After Roland Desmond
BRD = Before Roland Desmond
I’m going to be posting some poetry (sorry) on Kimichee
Sometimes I get fearful thoughts about my impending mortality. And while I’m not too concerned about the afterward, I do fret about what will happen to all the words I’ve written that I’ve never bothered to share.
If I kicked it tomorrow, my computer and all its contents would simply disappear.
And all my writings with it.
So I’ve got folders and folders of things I wrote when I was young (from like 15-17), and amongst them is a document containing over 40,000 words of poetry.
40 THOUSAND words.
Of poetry.
A lot of it seems pretty bad to me now. Some start off really good then trail off as past-me obviously couldn’t figure out how to wrap things up.
Anyways, I’m going to start posting those old poems on Kimichee.
I’ll try to post the original along with a now-me-asized version that will hopefully make the old words a bit better.
Also, if you recognize any of my poems? STFU.
Yes, it’s me. Hello to you too.
Please don’t out me as the giant nerd I am.
If you know some other me? Then congratulations. You are the knower of a secret thing. STFU.
So anyways. Poetry ahoy!
And STFU.
Pax,

BLUE WORLD
The blue world is just before the night,
the blue world is just before the dawn,
my world is just before there’s light,
before the singing of each new song.
Though I wait for something,
the blue world gets in my way,
I am of the blue world,
it’s my soul and heart and everything.
I never get the things I want,
I’m always just too late,
I am of the blue world.
When the sky is blue,
and the world is almost dark,
but there’s a kind of inner beauty,
that is where I am.
I am of the blue world,
before the coming of the dawn,
and the coming of the night.
I am of the blue world,
a being of sadness and regret,
I am of the blue world,
a being of hope and not as yet.
I am of the blue world.
