#PennedPossibilities 1120: Saturday Word Edition: Share something from your WIP pertaining to the word “entertainment.”
I ended up ordering the roast duckling and peaches in Chartreuse jelly. The first was excellent, while the grassy flavor of the second didn’t agree with me.
Emily used the ivy growing on a trellis next to our seating to sneak sips of my consommé, while I indulged in oysters and a Champagne cocktail.

#WritersCoffeeClub – 6th Sept. If you work digitally, what keyboard or dictation do you use? If paper, what do you write with?
Digitally: I use a Corsair keyboard attached to my laptop. Some of the letters are wearing off.
Paper: Whatever pen is at hand. (A fine tip is better.) A notebook bought at Daiso if I am organized. Otherwise, scrap envelopes from bills.
#ScribesAndMakers – 6th Have you ever listened to an audiobook where the reader had a good voice, but not the 'right' voice?
No.
#ScribesAndMakers 5: Favourite colour of ice cream?
A name, maybe, but color not so much. I love the name "Rocky Road."
Color: Black Sesame, but I'm reaching.

#WritersCoffeeClub – 5th Sept. Do you track your word count? How? Why?
I don't do it for productive reasons, but I do do it for EP, chapter, and volume length.
How, it at the bottom of the LibreOffice window.

#PennedPossibilities 1118: Name a catastrophic event that occurred in your world / universe.
#TimeTravelingGhost: We have the Cretaceous–Paleogene Extinction Event. Seems more relevant when you were there.
#KonbiniIdol: There is the "Empress's Gift." Catastrophic enough that I even CW the portion where it is discussed in detail (Spoiler).

#ScribesAndMakers – 4th Sept. Reverse of last month's question: if e-books stopped being produced, how much would you miss them?
A bunch. 90% of what I read is ebooks. I'm trying to downsize my physical lib. too. So nice to have my complete library on one device.
Anyone in the Seattle area could probably talk me into giving them lucky boxes of yuri manga.

#TimeTravelingGhost Part 46: EP 4: 1937 Amelia Earhart.
#Wss366 #MastoPrompt #TimeTravelAuthors 9/27 Saturday excerpt (optional word: pleasant)
The ocean mist that was drifting in was #pleasant after the night's muggy warmth. The beach had been fairly straight until this point, but with the limited visibility, we almost fell into what I guessed was an inlet to a lagoon. Soggy, burnt wood was mixed with the sand, and its faint odor perfumed the air. We still hadn’t seen Amelia, and I was more convinced than ever that I knew where we were. It was the #worst option, the one place I’d prayed we wouldn’t find ourselves.
“I think I hear something,” Emily said, pointing inland.
When I listened, I thought I heard crying, but it could have been the wind. “That way is as good as any,” I said.
The sound faded as we walked along the beach. No matter how hard I listened, all I could hear was the wind, the surf, and the scuttling of crabs, some of which were as big as a cat or small dog.
The memory of a pretty papillon named "Rindy" floated up into my consciousness, and I wondered if he had been mine.
“There it is again,” Emily said.
This time, I could plainly hear a woman weeping. The sound came from in front of us, off to the right.
“Amelia, Amelia Earhart!” I yelled, and the weeping stopped.
“There’s a path,” Emily said, pointing to a rough trail leading inland through the trees.
“I’m here! Thank God at last,” came a shout from the direction the path led.
We followed the voice and soon found a clearing. In the center were the ashes of a fire, scattered coconut, and crab shells. The scent of the jungle and sea mingled with the sour-sweet stench of death. On the far side of the fire lay a rotting corpse. Crabs that had nearly picked the skeleton clean scurried away from our light. The word “#gross” almost escaped my lips.
Just beyond stood a woman dressed in aviator clothes. We had found Amelia Earhart.

Minashi-by-the-Sea (The Toad-Things of Leng)
#Wss366 #MastoPrompt 9/4 #MicroPrompt 8/27-29
Kurotsuki Kaibyō #yawned over her cup of strong Celedawn tea. The rich scent of #cardamom and cloves tickled her nose. She would need its invigorating properties, for she had a long night ahead of her and an even longer day.
Soon the moon would set, and it would be time to be about her business. Tomorrow would be the Festival of Lime Blossoms on the Water, and all the people of Minashi-by-the-Sea would be celebrating.
Except for the guards of the High Citadel of Perpetual Petals. The #Toads of Leng cared not for blossoms, scents, or even festivals. Their only loves were the repellent offal they were fed and dancing to the thin, insidious piping that emerged from the lofty tower on moonless nights.
Tonight, on cat feet, she would locate where the #Toad-things of Leng performed their hideous, obscene midnight capers. She would not be one of their flayed, #skinned victims that appeared floating in the harbor as dawn broke upon its lime blossom flotilla. And then tomorrow, when the #Toads were at their sleepiest and the citizens of Minashi-by-the-Sea frolicked amid the lime blossoms, she would #zip into the tower and be gone before anyone knew of her pilfering.
