We've talked about my writing process for a number of weeks now. How about a few peeks into what that process has produced. First I finished the final episode of the Corelian Guard Series. Keep an eye out for Empire's Fall, the sequel to Empire's advance.
Tasha
awakened slowly, fear gnawing at her very soul. She was no longer
alone in the cold damp basement. The small hairs on the back of her
neck were standing up and a shiver crawled slowly up her spine.
“Relax woman,” sighed a soft feminine voice. “I'm not going to
hurt you.” The speaker was a small girl not much older than Tasha.
She had blue spirals painted on her face and arms.
“Who
are you? What do you want?”
“I'm
called Lady Blue. My name is Kara. Your name is Tasha and you're in
deep shit. I'm here to bring you an option you might not have thought
of. Hungry?”
“What
do you mean options? Wait, what? Yes, I'm starving. Have you got
anything to eat?”
“Sure,
try this.” She tossed Tasha a couple of military ration bars then
fished a bottle of water out of her backpack. She passed it over.
Tasha
forgot everything in her hunger. She devoured the bars then guzzled
the water. A moment later she became aware of the small girl watching
her. “These are military rations, where did you get them?”
“I
took them off a soldier who tried to rape me. Feeling better now?”
And that's a wrap for this week. Now for the ROW80 check-in.
Again I seem to be well ahead of schedule. I have ROW80 to thank for keeping me on track. Even in the times when I set my goals lower, I still have that need to get something written for the check-in. Thank you one and all for keeping me honest.
So, this past week I managed to drive the word count on my WIP over 60,000 words and to bring the story to its proper ending. I am so thrilled.
Until next time, may your days be filled with sunny skies and smiling faces.
Bright Blessings
