Regulars' Table

[Altbert]

Excellent, Albert! It is really good seeing people posting their stories and adventures!

You already know the story I wrote for the Coffee House. The new story is about my in game character throughout the various TES games. Although the games are not considered to be prequels or sequels, I personally consider those as such, but that will need a pretty good backstory. I have already started on the Arena game, but before publishing I need to have my backstory done, t.i. more complete than I have done for the Coffee House. The backstory should be able to explain why my character in Arena is the same as in Skyrim!

One day I need to write Etienne's actual origin story - how it came to be that he is constantly shifting planes in the multiverse. I allude to a geas (or, perhaps, it would be better put, a curse) that was placed upon him at some time in the past, as he is hearing the voice in his head in "What Dreams May Come." I need to get that origin story written - perhaps as a final story in The Adventures of Etienne series, when all is resolved. (But since I do not know WHEN I will conclude writing the stories of Etienne's adventures, I will need to write it so as to be posted at some time in the future when I finally do decide to stop writing about him, or arrange to have it published posthumously.)

Well, I just wrote the scene where Etienne is condemned to forever wander the planes of the multiverse. Now I need to build the rest of the story around it - but there is much I need to do before then - like finish the current book - LOL! But, undoubtedly, I will work on it here and there as time and inspiration allows.

EDIT - And now I have written the end of the story - the rest just needs to be filled in.

Good day, all! A beautiful and relaxing morning here in Florida! Just having some sausage with coffee, and will soon be heading over to the Steam forums to see what drifted ashore overnight - LOL! Then back to doing more writing.

All afternoon trying to get DynDOLOD up and running. xLODGen: check, TexGen: check. DynDOLOD: a hell of a mess! A wasted afternoon! An extremely long list of warnings and errors, some which make no sense at all. Why would you want to create LOD for interior objects?

Also did a small scroll through the Steam forums. Posts seem to become more and more rediculous! And literally noone seems to want to accept well ment suggestions and advice. The "40 hour experts" seem to have all the answers. At the other hand the most rediculous ideas and questions are presented. So, yeah, I'm done with the Steam forums for now, only checking the Old Fart's Coffee House and the Skyrim Creation Club Group.

Although I have worked through the night until the afternoon on the equipment for the Samuel follower, I still feel fine for the most part (my throat aches a bit). I slept a couple of hours, wrote the mod project thread and now I will take the clothes out of the washing machine (I'm away for a few days next week visiting my mom and it's about time that I get everything ready).

[smr1957]

Good day, all! Selene, you make sure you rest up and feel better - and have a wonderful time visiting your mom!

[smr1957]

Another all night stay awake watching some movies. Now to make it over to the Steam forums and see what's shaking there. Tommorow I think I will set up The Coffee House for the Saturalia party and maybe get some screenshots. Setting the place up should not be a problem, but getting everyone to cooperate when I start snapping pictures will be - LOL!

I said recently that I got a sore throat. The pain in the throat went away and I caught a cold instead . It isn't the first time that a sore throat develops into a cold shortly afterwards. This doesn't stop me writing my short stories and creating mods. I know I should take more care of myself but I can't resist the urge to bring new stuff into being. So I try to reduce the time I spent on my projects while I'm being ill at least. I was successful to some extent watching TV and YouTube occasionally to interrupt my hyperfocus.

[Altbert]

I will join the party! I had to skip a board meeting at the archery club yesterday, because of a headache and muscle pain. Sore throat as well and a cold. The flu?

Time to write "The Tales of Ysmir Sky-Born". Going over the backstory some more to get it alright, before publishing.
