I might as well use Harreld and Garreth as much as any of the other characters I write, as they are well drawn and easy to write for. They may be sitting near Leof, and/or Scyld, if you like. And...

:D

I knew I was going to do the monster post. At first I thought I'd just raise hackles all over the place as the thing itself; then I saw a way to be able to keep it after all. :D

The long trench to the swamp had not yet been started when, in the very middle of the dung pit, Eodwine noticed a movement. It was as if something was turning over. Could the amount of rain have...

I'm enjoying the variation of points of view from other writers. Great stuff, Firefoot. :)

I hope other writers take the cue: just because Eodwine or Saeryn think or perceive a certain thing...

Once she had the line strung up and the children's clothes hanging, Rowenna considered her responsibilities in terms of the children complete. She waded through the rising waters toward trenches. ...

Eodwine stopped a moment to think through Saeryn's questions, then continued his work while puffing out his thoughts as they came.

Rowenna was not so close to the children, but was closer than Eodwine. She looked his way and saw him stop in the middle of shoveling a load of dung. She meaningfully pointed at herself and then at...

Rowenna had come out with everyone else. Not enough shovels, she thought. What could she possibly use? Ladles? Pots and pans? They would have to do, and could be cleaned later. She had a hunch...

Garreth and Harreld came from the armory to find a crowd gathered near the dung pit on a patch of ground still above the flood. Eodwine was walking the perimeter. They had found two more shovels,...

Could they be kept away? ;) I would say yes, they could be included and would be given tasks suited to their abilities.

Eodwine

It did not take long for Eodwine to survey the problem and the damage.

"How many spades do we have in Scarburg, Garreth?"

As Saeryn went to Cerwyn, Garreth Smith came into the Hall, dripping wet and baleful in the eyes.

I was thinking about having the dung pits overflow this Day's afternoon. I've been a bit busy, but we could do that now. "Latrine" is a French word. Kind of like talking in Gondorian. ;) If you...

I think you meant "disappointed" rather than "disappointing" in your last post.

You have a lot of nerve putting my character Eodwine in such a no-win situation. ;)
