Sylum Inspiration: Norðmaðr
Serenity: Member
Norðmaðr was raised in a small fishing village on the coast of Norway. His family were fishermen and he was expected to be the same.
While at sea everything had changed.
He doesn’t remember what happened, just that he was washed ashore dead.
Self Care Day
Take care of yourself today.
Take a moment. Have a massage. Enjoy that snack. Sit back and read. Binge that show.
Just take that moment for yourself – we all need to.
Sylum Charity: World Central Kitchen
I know I’ve listed this one a few times. Mainly because they do damn good work.
They are on the ground for every major disaster, and with the recent earthquake in Myanmar – they are back out there.

Sylum Big Bang 2024: Check In
I know some are still working through Spring Fling! But wanted to check in with those participating in the Big Bang.
How’s it going? Ideas happening? Characters/Plot Lines …
I’m still trying to work through Spring Fling, but do have ideas and words written (okay yes it’s a story I’ve been working on but now motivated to get it done!)
Sylum Inspiration: Randolph Andrews
Serenity: Member
Randolph was the son of a Preacher, and he had set out to the New World to make a name for himself. He ended up captured by pirates, threatened, tortured, and finally at the end of it all Turned.
(Dilios Note: He will give you a tale of the Queens Anne Revenge, Mermaids, and the Fountain of Youth … some days you may believe it)
Pencil Day
I keep track of National Days cause they are fun things to put on the blog.
Many times I’ve sat there going – really this is a day? Hence Pencil Day.
I used them all the time as a kid, in school, even college with those scan tron tests (dating myself).
Color pencils are always in use, but I rarely see straight pencils anymore.
Are they still in your house, desk drawer or something completely different.
Mermaid Day
Ah the legends of mermaids and not the Little one. Though Disney’s version is not the Hans Christian Anderson one.
Mermaids/Sirens have been in myths and legends for thousands of years. Are they real? Are they stories made it up as a cautioary tale for sailors?
We may never know.
But for Sylum … of course they’re real. Sparrow want’s nothing to do with them, but there is a crab fisherman who can parley with them.
Coffee House Friday
As we just had Tolkien Reading Day.
What is that one book, series that you always re-read?
I’m not one to go and re-read material there are a few books that I have read numerous of times, but mostly once read I usually move onto the next.
