As many readers have probably gathered by now, Musings is on extended hiatus, owing to a host of reasons. New expansions and stuff packs, new stories and challenges, and trying to get my main legacy back on track have helped move Musings to the back burner. But I haven't forgotten Spencer and Company; I've still got a few ideas percolating for them. It just may be a while before I get back

Out-takes and AnswersHave you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes in the Severn household? What goes on that doesn't get recorded on the pages of The Book? What are the motivations and aspirations of those who call Muse Ridge home?Let's take a moment to step outside the story to feed some of our curiosity about Spencer and the rest of the Severn family.Muse Ridge had started as a hood

For those wondering about the next update from Spencer and Genesis,do not fear. The Severns, Lilliards, and the rest of Muse Ridge are taking a small holiday while several large and critical chapters are posted elsewhere in another saga. Additionally, Bon Voyage has just been released and as a result several of the mods that Musings uses have not been updated yet. While the story certainly could

Oh yes, did I have unfinished business.Genesis had stated that the alien I'd caught her with had parents and a family. I planned on giving whatever called themselves his parents a piece of my mind.After ringing the bell furiously for several minutes, another green skinned, bug eyed freak came to the door to greet me. I was not surprised to see him wearing a stained lab coat. When I knocked he

It had been another long day on base. The generals and their "special guests" were still about, requiring extra guards and extra protection. While I'd love to know what they were discussing behind sealed doors, I'm a soldier not a scientist. It would probably all sound like stereo instructions to me. I was just glad to receive word that I could head home early. I could finally spend some

Well Book, here I was wondering when I'd get a chance to see Genesis again, and a few days later she calls me up asking if I want to come over and study. Allyn and Carl are coming over too. We've all got semester tests coming up and they wanted to hit the books.Hey, I wasn't about to say "No" to a chance to hang with Genesis again. No way. So I trekked on over to her place. Carl was supposed

Dear DiaryThings have been going pretty well here lately. Winter is in full swing, and while we've had a lot of snow, there hasn't been enough yet for them to cancel school.Dad's been pretty busy at work the past week or two and has been pulling some very late hours. He says he can't talk about what's going on, but I do know there's been a lot of high level military officers and political types

Empty Musings: Genesis Steps Out Dear DiaryYou're not going to believe this. I almost couldn't believe it myself. Dad let me go hang out with friends without having him tag along as chaperon.I'd just read in the paper that the ice rink downtown was open for the season, since we'd finally had a big snow here in Muse Ridge. Dad had signed me up for skating lessons years ago when we lived in

Empty Musings: Spencer Goes to SpaceI'm back Book. Took me longer than I expected. Turns out it was Tosha on the phone, not Genesis, and then Mom called me to supper. Now, where was I?Er... oh yeah...Mom had been yapping on the phone to one of her buddies so I figured I'd go pop my eye up to Dad's telescope out front while I waited for her to finish up. I wasn't too interested in looking at

You'd think after all the new schools I've had recently I'd be old hat at this. Ha. I wish. Still, I made lots of new friends my first few days.Allyn Fleig's family has been in Muse Ridge since the beginning. She was

Or has it been four already? Anyway, Dad bought a house this time, so maybe we'll be actually staying here for a while.He's got a pretty important position at the top secret military base near here.

Empty Musings: Spencer, third entryHey Book, I'm back again. Still working to catch you up to date. Last time I talked about Charity and Cassiopeia having birthdays... well, Charity has us all beat in the cute department. She grew up real pretty. Dad's talked about having to buy a guard dog and a shotgun.Cassi's kinda... different looking. If you really look at her you can tell that Dad's not

Empty Musings: Spencer, first entry I'm not sure why I'm doing this. I mean, I'm not some girl to be babbling all about my first kiss and the guy I'm crushing on in some diary. But for some reason this book looked so empty and it was like it was just begging for me to jot my thoughts down in it. I don't even know where it came from. Dad must've dragged it home from work one night. He's worked

It had been billed as a 'different' sort of community. The eccentric who bought the land and sold the initial lots described Muse Ridge as a "possible utopian settlement" and a "welcome change from the oppressive military base" that lay at the other end of the highway that passed through his proposed neighborhood. He invited artists and craftsmen, deep thinkers and hard workers to join him, but
