I guess we're posting Magpie again. Now there's an obvious answer I'm sure you can guess...but where would be the fun in that?

Having grown up in Wales, I can testify that if you are actually worried about your culture and history being under threat, the thing to do is write poetry and songs, perform plays, tell stories and organise festivals, not just sit around whining.

Depends when. Ata in the first volume, plenty. Ata from ages 15-19... a fair bit. Ata as an adult, not much. By the time I reach this story's conclusion she'll have become a mightier warrior than even her father. Which is a tall order. #QueerWritersChat #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Raven+Bear

For Ata it's page one of my first story, The Knightbane's Prize. She wasn't always a princess by adoption or the page of Cambria's most renowned knight. Bear in mind that she's ten in this first story. For Sir Corbyn, that's a spoiler. #QueerWritersChat #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Raven+Bear

An excerpt from The Knightbane's Prize (Raven & Bear: 1) by Bramble. Transcript: The Knightbane’s Prize Storms had flooded the castle courtyard for nearly a week. Despite this, an impressive crowd was gathered around a pillory on top of a small stage. A young girl dangled from her punishment, so short she could not stand while trapped in that wooden block. An older woman handed out spoiled food then invited others to throw it. Between this child and the downpour, none noticed when an old knight paused under a nearby archway. [End]

Little writing done this week but hoping to change that later today. Here is a snip from Kyle looking at old photos from over 20 years ago and dwelling on how much his life has changed. From a Philosopher Queens side project I may or may not be able to finish. 🤫 #FaveLineFriday

Screenshot of a work-in-progress manuscript. Kyle pauses on one that strikes him as so far removed from his current life, he has no idea how he got from there to here. It is Heather and him at the Christmas party for the architecture firm he used to work at. They were still so deeply in love. He still enjoyed his job. Children were an abstract potentiality that he thought might never happen. He even had that silly attempt at a goatee. That party, however, changed the direction of his life.

I'll let this speak for itself on Sir Myrddin's literal accuracy, but I assure you all it's the same for his metaphorical accuracy as well. The man's words hit home harder than his arrows at times. #AwesomeCharacters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Raven+Bear

An excerpt from The Eisteddfod (Raven & Bear: 6) by Bramble. Transcript: It took them a moment to find Sir Brent, who waited beside a fence which enclosed each contestant and their targets. Among them were knights of Powys, who wore grey tabards decorated with a red dragon. The Order of Vortigern’s heraldry. A group of town guards outnumbered them three to six. Finally, Sir Myrddin stood alone in a bone-white gambeson coat. That loosely-braided beard was flung over one shoulder, away from his unstrung bow. All except their grandmaster stepped forward a dozen paces and fired three arrows each. Once they were done, this elderly man threaded heavy limbs of yew so fast even Sir Corbyn struggled to follow him. Sir Myrddin’s darts fell swifter than rain as fletching scratched his cheek. A trio of stems grouped upon the target’s gold, though he committed no care to their aim. [End]]

Going to hop in because I actually have a chess game in The Wolf Knight. You see The Dream of Rhonabwy, is about a man's fever dream where King Arthur laments the state of Wales while playing "chess". I'll share an excerpt actually! #OctoberWorldbuilders #Raven+Bear #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

An excerpt from The Wolf Knight (Raven & Bear: 8) by Bramble. Transcript: “I was wondering actually,” Princess Ceindrych began this match with a patient opener, “P., to d-four. Marrok told me why he wants to be a paladin, but what about you Princess Ata?” The answer proved unconventional. A pawn pushed to h-five and silence. Thereafter, each established tactic was met by dubious plays. Clouded eyes hurried around their board, then glared at Ata in a bratty fashion. This older princess sighed as she realised it had only been a game of strategy for one of them. Unable to recall where each piece sat, her opponent blushed from embarrassment and hid behind that large cushion again. They sat in awkward silence, until Ata offered an apology. Muffled by this pillow, Princess Ceindrych explained she had memorized sequences of moves but struggled to recall their board in detail. Small raindrops gathered at the corners of that cloudy stare. Both girls jumped when Sir Garrett cleared his throat, then proposed for this princess to remind herself. He tapped a rook where it stood, “like so. While your grace studies the board, Princess Ata can answer your question.” “If I must,” Ata smiled as this girl gingerly felt through their pieces before she explained, “I was quiet because in truth I have little choice, given how the vassals of my mother object to me.” “That may have changed too,” gloved fingers rubbed the scar hidden under a grass-blue blindfold, “bards sing of your exploits. The druids respect you. So, their heirs regard you with respect.” “B. to f-six,” Princess Ceindrych interjected with a small smirk when it captured a knight, “many think you may become a worthy steward of the land and a great leader for its people.” [End]

Theme song- I'd want Paris Paloma for some sort of quiet rage fuelled banger. For the score, there are so many cracking trad groups- Heron Valley or CULLA would have to be on there somewhere. Instead I do all my own background music. Which sound nothing like these (but not for the want of trying.)

An excerpt from Deilenddu Forest (Raven & Bear: 9) by Bramble. Transcript: His steed trembled over every time-worn divot and wild-torn bump. Then its lamp flickered as a wheel bounced off this motorway, which fell into a storm-whipped sea under darkness. Though blinded, Sir Corbyn rode on at a reckless pace. His pebble-brown eyes pinned open by cold desperation, until they flinched at a sudden light. The old man swerved moments before he was plunged into a tree, saved by this fickle lantern. [End]

I think young Alexander, like the 15-16 year old he is in the books I'm writing now, would time travel to the future and search for the better day that he believes will come. Mature Alexander might consider if he has a responsibility to his own time, though. #LitHodgepodge

#LitHodgepodge 8 Thinking from the perspective of one (or more) of your characters, choose one (or more!) of these “would you rather” questions and provide an answer. Feel free to explain your character’s response. #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

#LITHODGEPODGE Hosted by @pamelajeong.bsky.social An October Prompt Game of Miscellaneous Proportions THURSDAY THRIFTED THERAPY [Graphic of an old-timey bearded man sitting and leaning his arm against a barrel with a tiny frog crawling up its side] Prompt: 8 | Answer one (or more) of these “would you rather” questions as your character: 🪦 Would you rather know when or how you’re going to die? 🧠 Would you rather have a perfect memory or be able to forget anything you wanted at will? ⏳ Would you rather time travel to the past or future? 💔 Would you rather never be able to show emotions or never be able to hide them? [Graphic of talking crow] “Would you rather” is a classic icebreaker which I doubt requires explanation. Surely you’ve been asked at some point whether you would rather fight 100 duck-sized elephants or one elephant-sized duck? If you chose the latter, you are clearly unacquainted with very many ducks.
