Nanowrimo Bits - 11/12/19
A snippet from today's Nanowrimo -
They went back to chatting and eating, Conor stealing a few pieces of cheesy bread when no one was looking. He avoided the ire of the hungry young adults around him by promising to pitch in on the bill. Every so often, one of the group would glance towards the Grimm brothers, who hadn’t taken their eyes off the group the entire time they were there – at least as far as any of them could tell. It hadn’t even loo...

A snippet from today's Nanowrimo's writing -
“So, do you do magic?” Flannery asked, leaning in conspiratorially.
Conor stared at her for a moment, pale, golden eyes sharp and unreadable. A smirk pulled at their lips, and Flannery noticed for the first time how sharp their canines were. They leaned in, almost nose-to-nose with her.
“In a way.” Conor’s voice was deep and ragged when they spoke, their aura pushing against Flan...

A snippet from today's Nanowrimo -
“So they want us to follow our stories. Because…why?”
“Because they’re heavy believers in destiny, I think,” Fae said. “Because we’re all in the exact same place at the exact same time, they assume that their existence alongside ours means the things they wrote are bound to repeat themselves. And because they feel a sense of ownership over these tales, they’re desperate to see them play out in...

A snippet from today's Nanowrimo -
Granny ducked around the corner to where the landline phone hung on the wall. It was designed like an old-school rotary phone, but all the numbers were pushed buttons. One of those vaguely hipster-y things that coffee shops like this always seemed to have. Flannery turned to stare out the front window. A tram passed by at a casual pace. When it had passed, Flannery jumped.
Across the road, standing almost...

A snippet from today's Nanowrimo -
‘I can only really speak with Granny and my dad. Sorry.’
Flannery passed back the pad of paper. “Don’t worry about it. Everybody has their demons they gotta deal with in their own way. I’m glad you can talk to Granny, though.”
Kai nodded, smiling shyly. He seemed like a good kid, it was a shame he had to deal with something that debilitating, but he seemed to be in good spirits regardless.&nbs...

“So you do magic, too?” Flannery asked, just blurting it out.
“Yeah, some.” Ashe shrugged. “Not as much as Aunt Fae does, though. I’m not that powerful yet.” She glanced Flannery’s way, and Flannery swore she saw a little bit of jealousy behind her eyes. “I’ve been here a few years, now. Came to live with my Aunt Fae after my dad started talking about getting married again. My mom pass...

“So you see it now?” Fae asked. “The darkness that has been foisted upon you. It’s quite the nasty curse they burdened you with. It’s a good thing Ashe was there. I’m sure Scarlett would have tried her best, but her talents are more in manifestation than purification.”
Scarlett? Oh. That’s right, Flannery thought. That’s Granny’s name. After the lady in Gone With the Wind. “...

A snippet of today's Nanowrimo! I'm quite proud of it :)
Suddenly, the bell above the door rang. Odd, she thought. She hadn’t seen anyone approach from either direction. Two men stepped in. They were clearly related, with the same cold, blue eyes. They were also dressed far nicer than one would expect for someone who clearly didn’t have to be in an office if they were coming in at 9-something for coffee. Even if they did need to be in an office, who the...

A snippet from my Nanowrimo writings for today:
Flannery shrugged, turning back around to face the front as the bell above the door rang. “Good morning, what can I get you?”
Elwood, from earlier, had been what Flannery would call ‘unintentionally intimidating’. This woman, with her sharp suit and no-nonsense ponytail and sharper-than-a-knife eyeliner, was very intentionally intimidating. The woman took a moment to…Flannery would say she was ...

A snippet of my Nano writings from today:
“Look there, Flannery. We’re almost there. You can see Effingbridge just ahead.”
Flannery turned, cursing under her breath as she pushed back her hair, and looked out the front window. Just ahead, teetering on the edge of an expanse of blue-grey sea, was a sleepy looking little town. It looked like a pastel rainbow of painted wood and white bricks; a storybook village isolated by a dark forest of pines and maples.&n...

Once again, I will be participating in National Novel Writing Month. I've successfully completed Nanowrimo for the past three years, and I hope to continue the trend this year. I will be posting daily word count upgrades along with my favorites snippets for my patrons!

As summer comes to a close (for me, at least, I go back to work next week), I felt it would be a good idea to give a general rundown of what's going on and what I've accomplished. I hope to do this sort of thing seasonally.
First of all, while it was not the smashing success I'd hoped it would be, I did manage to get about five chapters done of my summer project. I hope, situation willing, to continue to work on it next summer. And should my employment situation change, I will simply sl...

“Your Highness?” the soft voice of one of her maids called from the open door into her study. “Prince Zephyr is seeking an audience with you.”
“Is he?” Renalia didn’t bother to hide her mild surprise. Zephyr visited often enough, but he hadn’t sent notice this time, which was unusual. “Well, lead him to my parlor. I’ll be there in just a moment.”
The maid bowed and left to do as ordered. Renalia stood from her seat, stretched and dusting off her skirt ...
