Perhaps next time I have the opportunity to attend such, I will stay in and read a book instead? No. Probably not.

The choice is already difficult enough, more options will not make it easier. And yet, I must give them a fair chance.

But I caught a glimpse of you only recently, and it stole my breath and broke my heart just a very little bit. I wonder if you would be proud of me. Or if you would just shrug and give that small smile, and turn back towards your mirror. The latter I think. But I love you still. And them. Them most of all. And the one to come.

The Gilded Page has, for these many years, been a dedicated patron of the written word, as it is my devout personal belief that such endeavors should be celebrated and rewarded. So it is that I’m looking forward to seeing what the creative citizens of this fine city may craft to grace and enrich book shelves across the land.
This year, there will be a costumed Storybook Soiree to announce and toast the winners of the Competition, and I encourage everyone to come dressed as their favorite literary character. There will, of course, be a prize for Best Costume!
Official Rules of the Gilded Page Literary Contest:
1. One entry per author, though submissions may be a series containing two or more related books; any subject matter
2. Deadline for book submissions: 8/20/1011 AR (OOC - RL August 18, 2019)
3. Open to all, nobles and commoners alike
4. Book may be a book that has already been published before, or may be a new work (new works encouraged!)
5. Authors will remain anonymous through the voting period, which will last for four weeks from the deadline for submissions and culminate in a Costumed Soiree; the voters being comprised of anyone who would like to cast a vote. One vote per person, and votes may be sent to Lady Monique via messenger
6. Voting period: 8/20/1011 AR to 9/20/1011 AR (OOC – RL August 18, 2019 to September 1, 2019)
7.Copies of all entries will be on sale at the Gilded Page during the contest period, with all funds received being donated to the Faith
Prizes:
First Place: 1,000 social resources
Second Place: 500 economic resources
Third Place: 250 military resources
Prize for Best Costume at the Storybook Soiree: Subject to change, but a very rare book adorned with platinum is what I have in mind
Entries may be sent by messenger to Lady Monique Greenmarch, with no author noted on the cover or insides of the book to retain anonymity for voting purposes. Thank you for your creativity and generosity!
WRITE ON, AGAIN!

I fear that snake hammocks are a thing I don't think I can easily forget.
Is this your idea of relaxing, Floofykins? I'm not sure though. It would not be mine, but then we are quite different people. Stay safe,

I'm certainly not proposing this because I've always thought, being robbed and killed by bandits aside, a wagon like that would be fun. Though I always imagined doing a brisk trade in books rather than medicines.

Then today for patron's day I was gifted the ugliest gods damned creature I have ever seen. I keep wonderin if my birthday is fast approaching...
At first I thought it was a cat with a hairless tail. Then I thought it was a very unfortunate dog. Rat? Too big, too hissy. No ship rat I've ever known's ever fuckin hissed.
It arrived in a box in my office. At first I didn't know what to do with it so I nipped out to the bakery to grab something for it to eat and when I came back it was gone. Looking around for it, someone tells me that they saw the box loaded onto the truck cart and was about to be hauled off. I chased after it, dove into the back of the cart. It spooked the horse and caused them to kick the driver out the cart and bolt. Straight downhill.
So that is, why this morning I smell like yesterday's garbage and am limping with a hissy possum that also smells like garbage and why there is trail of garbage stretching from the Commons Courts right down to the river's mouth. I won't make mention about the fire and the incident with the old lady as I'm still being questioned about that.
Thanks, Gaston. Best Present Ever.

I've asked Missere Master Barkeep Maggnus to enter the Hart's private cellars to bring forth a sampling of some of our more rare and exotic vintages and spirits to try. I'm rather looking forward to see who enjoys which drinks and who remains standing at the end of the night.
Fortunately, we still have a few lovely suites that are not occupied at present, so our guests can relax and enjoy all enticements and comforts that my Hart can offer.
I fully expect it will be a wonderful night of fun. With luck, this will be the first of many such parties we host.
To life, light, luck and love!
