5/16/2023 0 Comments Eden eternal vendetta thief buildThe AuthAAR has received the showcase before, but not for his splendid AAR that is certainly the fantasy of all contemporary neoreactionary Catholics and integralists. I would love to swing by Richmond but, with the autumn season almost over, I still have some unfinished business in North Carolina and Southwest Virginia over the next week or two!Īs it is that time to once again pass on the showcase, and with the coming release of Victoria 3 which will overshadow the glory of Victoria 2, I will be keeping the focus on another superb Vic 2 AAR. Theodore Roosevelt was right to make conservation such an integral part of his presidency, in real life and in Empire for Liberty! I happened to take lunch on the top of the tooth with the soothing wind to take in the scenery. These are from Dragon’s Tooth, part of the “Triple Crown” on the Appalachian Trail in Virginia. (It will serve as great inspiration for that Arthurian fantasy novel I want to write…) can rest assured that the next adventure has nothing to do with writing but ascending the tallest peak in Virginia before the autumn season goes away to catch a view of wild ponies too. Here are just a couple photos of a recent trek that can hopefully inspire you to also search for Eden. Even in our world of digital technology it is important to get outside and into the wondrous world of Spaceship Earth. The beautiful world of nature can also serve as inspiration for your writing ambitions! Many a times on hikes, in the serenity of the spirit that governs the world, my mind becomes a laboratory of ideas, plots, characters, and imagery influenced by the very beaten paths being traveled. One of the lesser-known secrets about volksmarschall is that he is an avid hiker. I might also remind our dear readAARs that we also live in a beautiful and wonderful world. And if yours are also, well, you can go to the moon too! My first “real” writing efforts, if we call it that, started here. Where I am today has roots stretching back to this forum. Let no one ever mock your evening writing joys and hobby! Writing in AARland and reading in AARland can make you a better writer and, more importantly, a better human. Yet I feel it necessary to be stated here, loud for all to hear, that the Paradox Forum has contributed to those successes through the years of reading and writing here and it should serve as an inspiration to all aspiring writers that an online forum like this can serve to hone in your craft and prepare you for greater success in the future. Some now know that I have published multiple books and been a contributor to academic volumes (though the author seeks the freedom to be independent of the ivory tower) and hundreds of essays and articles and op-eds in dozens of journals, magazines, and newspapers, and now I’ll be serving as head editor for an online journal that I’ve been writing for since my grad school days at Yale (also when I started EfL…where does the time go?). But as the vicissitudes of time wear on, so too does the changes that it brings in one’s life. A handful of whom I consider friends, a handful of whom I’ve also been able to meet in person (and to those whom I have not, perhaps that day will come). I should say that it has been a great joy over the last decade + to be part of the forum and to still have some time and relationship with the forum and forumites. Of course there will be a test at the end of AAR!! Extra credit too for anyone who remembers who was the President during the Civil War in the game?! Though I haven’t yet been able to get over to the AAR that earned him the showcase from the previous week. My AAR may be going on 5 years old now…my oh my how time flies…I think I’ve taken longer on EfL than all my other slow growth AARs…but I’ve been following Eurasia’s Road of Queens AAR for a while too. Well, this is certainly an unexpected surprise! Many thanks to for the nomination.
