A photo from when we got the yurt set up last time I visited.



First chicken I roasted this season! From the ones we processed Tuesday.


Visitor to the yurt, now that I've got the interior largely set up: Whiskey the cat.

And a moody scenery shot:

The Team meeting in the barnyard one morning to discuss the week's upcoming work and schedules.

writing woes or whatever

I have been plugging away at this thing that started off as a Goblin Emperor AU, which I've tentatively dubbed the Solarpunk Cyborgs thing. It's set elsewhere in the same world as the Solarpunk Mammoths novel; I figure a world that big could have several societies, and it'd be fun to culture-clash the egalitarian-agrarian peoples in the Mammoths novel with the oligarchic/techie people in this new idea, at some point.

Insofar as POVs, which I was debating earlier, what's happening is that I'm just writing it as it comes, so I've got three POVs so far. But I'm considering going back and rewriting it after the first draft, tightening it up to either one or two POVs; I don't think the extra POVs will wind up necessary, but I have to put them in presently just to make sure the story's told. But like, I can already see where i can work in the information I introduced the other POV to include under one of the other ones. So we'll have to see; I've only got a fraction of the plot worked out.

Still, it's coming along, so that's nice.
