Where has all the Blogging Gone?

Jun14

I have been remiss in blogging lately! If you have noticed the camp-nano posts, you can easily see one reason why – I am trying hard to get 50K done by the 20th (the 21st is our 10-year wedding anniversary).

The other reason? Summer!

This weekend I finally got a portion of the garden put in – planted 7 tomato plants in 3 varieties, 7 hot pepper plants in 4 varieties (6 of 2 more to plant), basil in 2 varieties, sage, oregano, and beans. I weeded the carrot patch (apologies to Anne Bishop readers) and laid down weed cloth over the squash (well, around them), too.

And I got another coat of poly on the dresser and started painting it!

In terms of nano, I’m looking to get most of the first semester of Addergoole Year 9 completed: the series will cover, in 52 weeks, one year of the Addergoole school through the eyes of the twenty-some members of the Ninth Cohort.

Also: We got two new kittens. Their names are Oligarchy and Theocracy and they are 12 weeks old and beautiful.

And a link: Finally, a Home where you can enjoy the Post-apoc.

Addergoole Style Guide

Jun14

[personal profile] rix_scaedu raised a question in alpha-reading the upcoming Addergoole-Year-9, and I never did answer it well in the original series – “should it be crew, or Crew?”

I’m going to stretch that out to – what things should I capitalize?

* Each word in a Working?
* the word Working?
* Bond? This one I hesitate on, because it looks to me too much like the Blood Bond in White Wolf.

Things that I know are always cap:
* Keeping, Kept (not sure on Owning, Owned), Belonging.
* Law
* references to a position as per the Law – Mentor, Student, Mother, Child (but only in that context)

I seem to have settled on capitalizing Daeva, Mara, Grigori.

Urg!
