Sorry for the absence - I should know better than to think I would have time for any writing when I'm visiting family. I'm back to school now, and once the semester gets going a bit I will probably have more time to write. In the meantime, feel free to use or engage my characters as you please; I will be more motivated to find time for writing if there's something happening with them.

I'm sorry. I feel I really dropped the ball there. Posts coming today.

Elempi, you had my eyes popping there for a sec. I was thinking, "No way! You did NOT introduce a monster!"

I was relieved when it was a dream.

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.

It was fun. Especially your reaction.

So Leof is sitting with unnamed people now. Scyld will similarly be coming in and getting cleaned up etc now as well if anyone wants to interact with him before I get to it.

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 there is also Rowenna to interact with. And, of course, Eodwine.

It comes to mind that I had intended to have an Easterling be part of the folk, but that just hasn't panned out. I think I even came up with a name. If I did, I don't remember it. But it could be interesting to pull him out now, as if he had taken part in the digging.

Ok. I'm not sure what most of my characters are doing. I'll try to figure that out soon.
