'Life is like a #clockwork #dragon .'
'That sounds very #poetic , but what does it mean?'
'Every day is exactly the same, you go through the motions, until you get wound up and breathe fire.'

What did you look like in 2013?
Coincidentally the year I came to Iceland - I have acclimatized to the weather in the meantime 😅

(Today has been the First Day of Summer, a national holiday here in Iceland ☀️🇮🇸)

I haven't been writing much lately, but I submitted two older stories to #FlashFlood 🌊, and another one to an Icelandic short story magazine, so I feel at least somewhat back in the game.

The entire crew was petrified from the shock.
'No. No, it can't be,' Wenton wailed. 'I... I have to get out of here.'
As he made to run back to the beach, Rainbow grabbed his sleeve.
'Don't be an #albatross ! We should stay together. Never split the party!'

Before packing them away, I thought it would be cool to take a photo of all the anthologies with my stories in them. Pukkas must have thought so too, as he flopped down right next to them for the perfect photo I couldn't have tried to stage better! 😅

Added a second book review to my blog!

'You have to #chop them into little pieces. The smaller the better. They should be unrecognizable. Don't be afraid to use their pieces to express your creativity in another way.'

'Most of it is done, but we ran out of screws for the last kitchen wall cabinet...'
'Ah, just #glue it on, it will be fine.'

(True story: After a water leak, I discovered that the previous owners of my apartment glued a wooden cabinet to the wall 🤦🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️ )

When the wormhole first appeared just outside of Earth's orbit, we sent a #probe through. We got images of a planet almost identical to ours. Next we sent astronauts to conquer the new planet. Their last transmission: 'We're staying here. It's like Earth, but kinder.'

There was no time to mourn - who knew how many more bloodthirsty monsters were out there? The crew continued through the jungle until they stumbled upon a #parched #corpse in a clearing. Wenton gasped.
The corpse was him.

#vssGhostShip

Trying to make no noise, the crew crept over the beach towards the safety of the jungle. They had almost made it, when Ztrakz let out an audible #wheeze . Within a heartbeat, the creature was on him, all claws and fangs, leaving only a splatter of blood on the sand.

Strong as a Bear
Wise as an Owl
#lithe as a Panther
Fast as a Falcon
Slippery as a Fish
Fierce as a Viper
Always kind as a Horse.

A year ago today, I started a new hobby: knitting!
I started because I wanted my own Icelandic lopapeysa, and got hooked once I had the basics down.
Last year I made:
3 Icelandic sweaters
1 infinity scarf
3 hats
and some socks, mittens, and scarves for the Red Cross
