I’ve seem to be able to somehow manage this things with WIP updates. Now I’ll just need more reviews too…

WIPs

ln the month of July, I ended up doing less than I had planned. I did finish writing an article for my Wiki for the world of Blood of Destinies Rewritten. I am still working on some related articles to that.

But I’d say I’ve been more researching this time around that I’ve done writing. In particular, I’ve listened to the Nomads and Empires Podcast, which is about the history of the Eurasian Steppe. It’s been really interesting and cover a lot of my own background research that I’ve done for BoDR, but it’s nice to get some things I’ve missed, as most of my BoDR research falls into the two or three centuries leading up to the 11th century, since it’s only been a brief dive into the earlier history to be able to work with the alternate history timeline. The podcast isn’t frequently updated, so it’s obviously not exactly my source material, but it does offer me some insight into material I could look into later as well, if I’d like. It also does work quite well for me to listen to for my future work on Amarasha, since that one is set before BoDR and still on the Steppe.

I did ask on this blog’s Twitter account what to focus on in August and the result was DRAMAtical Murder, so, at the time I’m writing this post (on the first), I’ll try to finish Peach Blossom Debt in the next few days. If I’m lucky, by the time this actually posts, I’ve at the very least written the review even if it’s still not up.

WIP Quote

Nükiž is primarily known as the Deity of the Sun, and was according to the creation myth the first deity hatched from the primordial bird Žuktük’s eggs, creating the sun to shine light and warmth in the void.

Nükiž’s domain, other than the sun, is primarily that of knowledge and wisdom of various forms, and is the patron deity of anyone from scholars and writers to diviners and oracles, but is also a deity of unity and community.

Many of the Fubaž consider Nükiž essential and will worship and bring offerings to the deity a few times a year. They also consider a name given by Nükiž as more accurate a guide, so for the Sun Year of a child’s life, they will usually seek out a temple of Nükiž and the diviners there. Nükiž’s main temple is found in the Imperial Capital in the centra-western region, where the Holy Fire burns.

Behind the Scenes

There’s not much to say. My birthday is on the ninth, and in less than two weeks the kids are going back to school. That means I’ll see my man more often again, which is going to be nice. It also mean there’s a lot of focus on preparing Mini for starting grade 1 and for him to get used to things. We’re lucky to have an understanding teacher, who offered to meet with us and Mini the week before school, so, you know, lots of stuff going on.

In addition to that I’ve struggled with IBS at the end of July and I sprained my left ring finger and wrist, while my right wrist suffered subluxations, as well. Makes writing a bit difficult and I can’t wroke on art for a few days, but I think that by the end of this week, i should be pretty good for getting back to things properly.

For my birthday, it’s all about Final Fantasy XIV which my man wants me to play, and which I’m kind of dying to return to. I look forward to playing it again once i got a sub, and I’m really happy my hubby enjoys at least one game of one of my favourite game series.
