1st June 2026. Let your MC introduce themself.
I am Medb, pronounced May-v. I am like generations of my family before me the steward of this forest on the west coast of Ireland, and in my yard on the beach I continue my family trade of building wooden boats. I am a wife, twice over and twice widowed, mother to a fine woman, grandmother to two, and soon to be a great-grandmother. My way of life I inherit from my family, including my dedication to the Mórrígan.

3rd June 2026. In a minute or less using your media of choice (including words) make a sketch of something representative of you as a creative person.
Late evening, old man sitting at his desk in a glow-globe of candlelight, staring into depths, occasionally testing a phrase for its shape, typing hard in sustained bursts.

2nd June 2026. Share a line from something you've read today (with credit.)
"Peace to sky.
Sky to earth.
Earth below sky,
strength in each one,
a cup overfull,
filled with honey,
sufficiency of renown."
Opening lines of the Mórrígan's rosc that became known as the Peace Prophecy in the Cath Maige Tuired (the Second Battle of Moytirra), full English translation by Morgan Daimler, 2020.

7th May 2026. When did you think of the idea for your current project? Do you remember how it came about?
Two months ago, on 1st March. It bloomed in my resting mind like a flower, the initial picture of it entire. Even its structure was there, along with the nature of its narrator, and its ambition excited me. Considering I officially retired from writing in December and didn't write a word through midwinter, I'm coming at this fresh and enthusiastic.

2nd June 2026. Let the funniest character describe the world they live in.
The C18th pirate Byrne, in my to-be-released Death & Thereafter:
"For me, falling in love with pretty llittle Bonny Harbour on the untamed north-eastern coast of the Americas was integral to my falling in love with my brave Cap'n Jake Blake, and then for his fast ship Honour, and finally for this our secret home town where it seems everyone is related to someone in his crew."

Just dropped a new post on my WIP blog: https://davidbridgerwip.wordpress.com/2026/06/02/a-journey-to-my-island-in-the-otherworld/
@SJAsh_03@mastodon.sdf.org Thanks for boosting my blog post, Simon. I appreciate your help.
My 12yo granddaughter is home safely after her surgery.
Made a new friend.
Didn't get attacked for voicing my opinion. Yet. If the attack comes, I'm ready for it.
Started new routine of speaking intentions with prayers at dawn.
Set goal to maintain my ideal weight through July.
Included the goal in a magical ritual.
