The history of Deadwood in my fictional town of Blessing…
Since the pandemic hit our area in mid-March 2020, the hubby and my son and I have pretty much hardly left our house. Since we can both work 100% from home now, and our son has started virtual schooling... well, we just don't have much reason to get out. Ever. But after nearly 6 months of this... we were FED UP. We needed a change of scenery... while still being as safe as possible. (None of us want to catch covid, no matter what the chances are of it being a severe case vs a mild case, just ... View Post

These are the journeys of the starship DEFIANT (civilian class): An Unplanned Launch
Day 1 Well, we're off. In a manner of speaking. Our launch date was moved up a bit because of some irresponsible dock manager over-booking the berths, so several ships had to skedaddle out of here ahead of schedule in order to make room for the incoming supply ships. Ugh. Of course. The little people are always booted out of the way for the big coorporations. Sure, they offered us a free two-week docking pass next time we came back here... but... well, we're not planning to come ... View Post
