Had not intended to be away on a long hiatus, and in fact completely lost track of how long I was away from tumblr. I had to completely rework my outline for the Crossing story, based on many many notes I've been making over the past couple of years, and realized I couldn't put it off and still expect to go forward with writing new sections for where I have been at in the first... chapter(?) of the book. That took... longer than expected but I didn't really feel like very many people online would notice much yet... ha. Also many other things (unrelated to writing and tumblr) required my attention... such is life; bleh.
Anyway, I shall be adding more just in case anyone wants to read along, and in the future I intend to give warning if I am going to have to be away for an extended period of time.

Squishies!
...I have noticed the results of the poll I did before, asking about what Legends-of-Bennuma -related things people might like to see... I have put it next on my list for the Legends ( @legends-of-bennuma ), to write a bit (more?) about the geography of the world. Also, when I locate where I may have hidden my digital copies of Bennuma art somewhere down in my backup files, I will share some... and when I get more art, which I will eventually.
In the meantime, if anyone is interested, there's a short... episode(?) of my (original) fairy tales blog @onceuponasoup featuring further adventures of Duck.
Will do more writing when I can focus on it, have been having an extended difficult time with it, but absolutely not giving up.
(see @bennuma-crossing for most recent and all previous sections of the story, skip pinned intro post if desired)
Starting chapter 3 of my WIP-titled story "The Crossing" ...about a camp of people who fled a bronze-age equivalent war zone in a magic-deprived portion of a fantasy world, who come across a traveler from a different (magic-rich) part of the world, who shows up and helps the people from the camp when they need it most, only asking to travel with them in return.
Who is this stranger, where did she come from, and what is her real objective? How will they find a new home where they can live in peace and safety, and what part will be played by the (arguably) most broken man in the camp?
(note: though originally intended to be an adventure story, future chapters may contain a love story, but rest assured I will be keeping it SFW)
also, if anyone happens to prefer blogspot format for reading long posts, you can find the same story on my blog here:
Had this keychain for years, I forget where I got it. Anyway, it sums a lot up in a far more concise way than I ever managed to on my own.

(oops, so... I accidentally re-blogged this to my other blog, when I meant to send it here... so apologies for me being clumsy but I will try to delete it from the other one so I can keep my wip book blog uncluttered)

Have posted next section of my current WIP novel, section 2.3
If interested, that blog is @bennuma-crossing
Have a lovely week.
...when I edit a tiny part of a larger section of writing for something small, but have to re-read over the entire thing several times in a row in order to check for typos; and the nagging feeling that I've missed one remains. This after having already done so many times back when the section was originally posted, and... also when it was originally written out prior to making a blog post for it.
