  • Minimal

    I have very minimal taste. I like things clean and simple and my apartment is that to a “T”. I’ve actually written a post about it before. I thought AJ had a floor plan and I know we have a good share of the interior of it picked out which is described in the post…

  • Conspiracy – Breakfast Date

    We walked through the halls hand in hand. Sage headed for the elevator and I followed him a step behind him. He pressed the button and then he squeezed my hand, “What’s bothering you?” I grinned. “Is it that obvious?” “You are trembling.” “Afraid of heights. This elevator is the worst for my fears. But…

  • The Last Phoenix

    AJ finished the read through tonight while the girls were at karate. So I’m offering free downloads of this draft in digital format. This is in preparation for April’s Camp NaNoWriMo where I’ll be posting here daily with the next story arc in an experimental format with twitter and instagram and blog posts to tell…

  • Label

    I dislike labels. Well not really labels – I hate stereotypes. Being what I am, it has many different levels of meaning to me. I am half human among full Venatori. We aren’t technically our own race, but they label us Minorem – or lesser Venatori, because technically all Venatori are mostly human since we…

  • Conquer

    I talk about this one a lot. Conquering my fears. Somedays walking out the door is the best I can hope for. Fear is what makes you stronger. It’s how you move forward. If it were easy it wouldn’t make you afraid. My fears are a great many. I know my fears because I’ve been…

  • House Work

    AJ spent the day cleaning and demoing a bathroom in the house. All that dust and crap makes for a bad day of breathing. Massive migraines are no fun, so no real post for me today, even tho I probably could ramble a bit on controversy.

  • Luck

    Of course it would be Luck or something to do with Saint Patrick’s day. I’m pretty sure Valentines day was something about love. Color me green. AJ has shit luck. Yesterday I said that we had finished editing the first draft and were going to release it. Yeah, well in the process of using multiple…

  • Conspiracy – Deepest Fears

    I dreamt of him. And then the blue eyes instead of the red floated towards me. The flashes of fire and earth across my skin. The blue eyes startling me awake when they didn’t reveal the face I expected. I woke with my heart in my throat, my bed was soaking wet from sweat. My…

  • Massive

    Massive news? Not quite what I was gonna write about but hey it’s a good plug. AJ finished the first round of edits. Soon as it’s strung together and formatted correctly I’ll offer as many formats as AJ can possibly throw together before the end of the week (early next week at the latest). And…

  • Instinct

    I wanted to write about animal instincts, or the instincts that come naturally to supernatural creatures, but it seems even that can’t pull a rambling post out today. At least not anything unique that I’ve not already spoken about. A therian – a were creature – of all varieties have animal instincts. Some of them…

  • Sick Day

    The kids shared their germs with AJ.  Bed and movies and me is the name of the game.  I’m going to keep it short… interstellar started.  This is my view today.

  • Conspiracy – My Demon

    I took my phone out and open the text Sage had sent me earlier when I ran into someone. I apologized and moved without ever looking up, but the man stepped into my way and I looked up. When I saw who I’d run into, I took a step backwards. I hated that smile on his…

  • Record

    We live in a world where things are drastically different from when my father was a kid, or when he was a kid. Technology changed the world and with it music changed. My father loved the rock and roll of his age. I like anything that I can dance to. But when I was a…

  • Murmuration

    A flock of starlings … Not exactly a good topic. I really don’t care about birds. The video linked in was cool, but eh, still not my thing. And the definition of it is an act of murmuring. Not really a good one either. But I’m not sure what else to say. AJ has a…

  • Pattern

    I could probably go on about this for like ever. Patterns are my life. Every Venatori has a mental ability ranging from low level empathy to things like precognition or telepathy. Some get IR vision, or photographic memory – me, I see patterns. Math is all about patterns. I have to work hard at it,…

  • Abstract

    This is a little out there, but I went to go make a post and my interface in wordpress changed. Like all the stuff is now on the right instead of the left – very disconcerting. But it’s clean, less distracting. I wonder what else changed other than my posting interface. I guess I’ll find…

  • Conspiracy – Dragons

    I didn’t want Walker alone with any of the dragons or the human. He might off and pop them because he could. But the humans needed a scapegoat, and this man would provide one. And the boy, I didn’t want him to get hurt; he was only a kid. “We are really going to question…

  • Nuance

    The nuance is the thing? Is that a quote? Everyone has their nuances – their little quirks. Me? I have tons of little quirks both endearing and annoying. AJ has a whole list of quirks for me. You can find them at the world lore book for The Clandestine Providence. You can also find the…

  • Nervous

    I don’t have much time today. AJ is attending an online developers conference and paying attention to it and not me and also working on top of that. I’m not a good multi-tasker and to be honest neither is AJ so I won’t be long. But I’ll hit the topic today – nervous. There are…

  • Ruminate

    I don’t ruminate. So much so I had to look up the word to know what it meant. Well while that’s the truth (the looking up part), I probably do end up deep in thought regularly. I have a bad habit of zoning out in my thoughts while doing mundane or boring things. Walking home,…

  • Dragon Hunting – Collateral Damage

    We headed for the fire escape and Walker climbed. I took a deep breath and pushed aside my growing fear and went up myself. Walker looked down and smiled, “I guess you were right, you don’t let things get in your way.” “I conquer my fears, they don’t conquer me.” I whispered, but I could…
