Daruma Mugs. The design of daruma (sometimes called wishing dolls) varies widely by region and artist in Japan. They’re used as a focus for goals. When you purchase one, its eyes aren’t filled in. You choose a goal or prayer, fill in one eye, and set it in a place where it serves as a reminder. And when your goal is achieved, you celebrate by filling in the second eye.
Different colors represent different areas of life in which you might have goals. Red is traditional, and it symbolizes good luck or good fortune. Blue is specifically for those pursuing goals at school (academic achievement) or at work (success or promotion). We’ll eventually add more colors. Maybe more designs, too.
I designed this one as an homage to the avian clans. Do you see the birds?

Songs of the Amaranthine is a collection of short stories set in Forthright’s Amaranthine universe. Before the Emergence, the clans were nothing more than whispers and mysteries and legends and lore. But every so often—in out-of-the-way places or shockingly close to home—an unsuspecting person stumbled into a fateful encounter with someone who was decidedly other. An eclectic collection, spanning continents and centuries. Tales of adventure, discovery, friendship, rescue, belonging, and love. Each short story stands alone and can be read in any order.
He had one job. Becoming a family pet wasn’t it.
Dragged through Hedgerows. For the sake of his people, Daroo-fen has lived among humans, working as a lawyer in a little mountain town. He’s vowed to protect the surrounding woodlands, no matter the cost. But in the course of duty, he meets a man who needs help … and a friend. Too long a loner, Daroo cannot keep away, but there’s a fine line between getting close and getting too close. If the Cooper family finds out his secret, two worlds might brand the wolf a traitor.

LMM. Well, I somehow managed to add thirty more chapters to Lord Mettlebright’s Man. Good progress. But so much more story to tell. Who’s up for another month? I plan to use #Inktober2019 prompts, but you may still contribute ideas for future chapters. The prompt post is here. This is how October is setting up:
