Somehow you’ve stumbled across this new little spot in the vast blogosphere – and I’m glad you did! =D

I’ve had quite a few blogs for various things, and I finally decided to simplify everything and just have one personal blog. I’ll be blogging about the book I’m writing and other writing adventures, posting photos, documenting the construction of my historical costumes, and oh so much more.

The Road goes ever on and on

Down from the door where it began.

Now far ahead the Road has gone,

And I must follow, if I can,

Pursuing it with eager feet,

Until it joins some larger way

Where many paths and errands meet.

And whither then? I cannot say.

The Road goes ever on and on

Out from the door where it began.

Now far ahead the Road has gone,

Let others follow it who can!

Let them a journey new begin,

But I at last with weary feet

Will turn towards the lighted inn,

My evening-rest and sleep to meet.

-Bilbo’s poem, from The Two Towers and
 The Return of the King

So. The preliminaries have been stated and disposed of. On to more interesting matters. (Or rather matters that interest me, at least. I hope they interest you!) NaNoWriMo is coming up on November first – and I’m participating again. I’ll be taking a short break from With a War Between Them, and be writing a book that WON’T require so much research. (I never knew how intense it is to write historical fiction!) I’ll do my best to continue to blog about writing through November. So more fun writing to come. ;)

Golden light is delicious. There’s something so magical about watching the sun slip below the horizon and light up the world as it does. I can’t seem to get enough of it – and I believe the same goes for almost every photographer! The world would be hopelessly un-magical without it. It’s that short time of glittering, sparkling light that transforms everything into something beautiful – as if someone dipped the world in shimmering gold.

What would life be without sunset?
