It’s not often that I feel the need to take a welcomed breather from the daily updates on the blog but this weekend has thrown a spanner in the work. But instead of focusing on creating a ‘half-done’ zine for my Plentura’s Storm Chasers zine I wanted to take a slower approach tonight.
So time to sit down, grab a coffee and perhaps even snuggle in deeper as we get some more cosy vibes from tonight!
A Welcomed Breather

Brazen sat down on his cushioned stool and stirred his coffee absentmindedly which a casual flick of his wrist. The spoon moved to mirror his movements as it blended the boiling water with the coffee grinds to create a rich, deep and nutty concoction. As he look around his workshop with various maps, notes, and scrawling’s of research material he chucked to himself.
“Anyone would think that it’s all the ravings of a madman,” he side to himself as it stared at a scrap of parchment that listed out various gods and their relationships amongst each other. “I suppose they are.” he said bemused with himself. His cat, Cleo, curled around his legs thankful that he wasn’t shoulders deep into another adventure or book. Picking up the old cat she purred and lounged on his similar-colour shirt, smoky-grey as it was not often that they got to spend these quiet moments together.
Determining that the brew was ready he placed Cleo back onto the ground, much to her protest, as he reached over to the vessel he was stirring moments ago. Gabbing a siv he poured the brew from the pot into his cup, watching as the finer grains of bean were stripped from the brown liquid as he filled up the mug beneath. Satisfied he had enough he placed the pot back onto the small wood stove.
Blowing on the hot beverage he had a tentative sip which revealed two things. One, it had been too long since he had a good coffee and two, this one was particularly too hot. Placing the mug aside to cool he looked over his notes again to ponder the next steps, the plans left half completed and those yet to be started at all. It was going to be a busy few months ahead as time careened towards the natural conclusion of the year and he had still so much to do.
But that can wait for another day, today was a day of rest. The first in, well quite a while if he was being honest with himself. Those plans left unstarted could wait for a few more days and those left half-complete aren’t going any where. Besides his coffee was much to hot to be useful in the completion of any of his plans, maybe tomorrow.
Thanks for continuing to support this blog, it means a lot of me. I’ve recently hit (according to the stats!) 1017 nights posting in a row with a handful of them being shorter snippets, like tonight, but with 46 Zines completed last year and, so far, 35 completed this year (another 6 in the works). If there’s something that you’d like to see more of feel free to let me know!
Don’t forget to come back next week as we continue on the road to, 48 zines for this week and a larger one for Dice-ember – My Holiday themed zine. Oh, and always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
