KOTD Update

I am sorry I have not posted in a while. I got into an accident around the new year. I had to have surgery, spent some time bedridden, and overall every aspect of my life and routine was disrupted. I wasn’t able to walk until last week.

The day I figured out that I could walk again was the happiest day I’ve had since Christmas. January was dark. I will spare the details.

I haven’t given up on knight of the dreadfort or any of my stories. I just don’t have that much time. I spend 2 hours a day on exercises/rehab so I can return to my previous strength and activity levels. 2 hours a day, seven days a week, and I’m sleeping more so my body can heal.

When I’m able to go back to my previous exercise routine (something like an hour 3x a week) I will go back to my previous writing routine.

At 6pm we would eat dinner. Around 7 everything would be cleaned up, I’d write until 8, lift weights until 9, write some more and then get ready for bed. I have a different routine now. I miss the old one. On non lifting days I’d do chores instead, stay up late and write more. Now both rehab exercise and chores take longer because I can’t move as quickly. I have to get up earlier because I can’t move as quickly. So it goes.

There are a lot of things that I like doing that I can’t do right now. Lifting weights, taking long, brisk walks and writing fanfiction are at the top of the list. So is getting down on my knees. A lot of life projects that needed to be put on hold. Decorating our new house. Starting to make my own clothes. Having our next kid. At Christmas we had decided to actively try for another baby now that our daughter is walking. Now she probably won’t have a sibling until sometime next year.

Sometimes your plans don’t work out. Sometimes you have setbacks. You learn to adjust. That’s okay.

I haven’t given up on anything that I planned on doing or was committed to doing. This is just a delay. 

Spring is coming and my injury heals a little more each day. I’ll be back at it soon.

So I was an idiot and got into a skiing accident yesterday. I am alive 🙏🙏🙏, have all my limbs, and no head injury, but many doctors’ appointments and such over the next few days. Don’t think I’ll be able to post this week.

This account endorses safe skiing.

KOTD Update

Well, 12/18 doesn’t seem doable for me anymore. My apologies for letting down anyone’s expectations. We’re still getting furniture in from our move, and between that, preparing for Christmas, my daughter’s increase in capacity for destruction, and a job transition I haven’t been spending as much time writing as I’d like to. However, I have vacation starting 12/23 so I intend to block out ~2 days to bring Chapter 52 to the presses before 2020 is over.

It’s a Walda chapter featuring Freys. Sansa and Dom content continues with Chapter 53.

The Third Knot, tipped into The Painter’s Manual and other texts, Albrecht Dürer, 1525, Art Institute of Chicago: Prints and Drawings

A posthumous impression of Albrecht Dürer’s first Knot has been tipped in opposite the frontispiece of this copy of On Human Proportion, Dürer’s book on anatomy for artists. It is the first element in a collected volume of late editions of several texts by the master (On Human Proportion, 1532–38, On Fortifications, 1527, and The Painter’s Manual, 1538). This second state of the woodcut is the only one to include an ad monogram. Dürer’s fame was already such that his eminently recognizable nested initials had become an ornamental motif in their own right. Annotations on the print’s verso date it to August 14, 1606, about when the sheet was reprinted and probably when it was purchased. Clarence Buckingham Collection Size: 292 x 200 mm (sheet) Medium: Woodcut in black on ivory laid paper, tipped into book of woodcuts and letterpress on cream laid paper, in full alum-tawed pigskin over beveled wooden boards, sewn on raised thongs, blind tooled ‘all-over’ with small tools, with two brass hook-clasp fastenings and hand-sewn headbands

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

[ladyoflosgar]

Dim drums throbbing, in the hills half heard, Where only on a nameless throne a crownless prince has stirred, Where, risen from a doubtful seat and half attainted stall, The last knight of Europe takes weapons from the wall, The last and lingering troubadour to whom the bird has sung, That once went singing southward when all the world was young, In that enormous silence, tiny and unafraid, Comes up along a winding road the noise of the Crusade.

G.K. Chesterton, Lepanto
