The Devil Went Down to Georgia...

Give me one good reason why I'm going to hell.

Then post this in your journal, because I'm taking all of you with me.

(ganked from watermelontail)

Like pulling teeth.

200 words tonight. Bah. I'm taking tomorrow morning and writing, dammit. I have to be able to do better than this! But not when I'm falling asleep on my keyboard. :)

Maybe I shouldn't have given up soda?

Metrics for Seasons

Starting line: She replied with soft answers to his questions, her gentle voice helping to deflect the heat from their glares.

Ending line: Even in the reinforced Crown Vic, Findlay felt the shockwave flow through him.

Darling: Masterson was next, moving with a sinuous kind of grace that sent chills down Findlay’s spine.

Okay, bed now. Write more booms tomorrow.

Metrics for Dark Moon Seasons

436 new words this morning. Not bad, but not great.

25,299 / 100,000 (24.0%)

Starting line: He turned, unable to resist watching, feeling his excitement grow as he saw the small mushroom cloud, glowing a brilliant blue, rising up into the sky behind them.

Ending line: “Our Father, who art in Heaven…”

Darling: Her pale face was calm, unsurprised, but when she turned back and caught him looking at her, the sorrow in her eyes bothered him. Not only sorrow, but forgiveness: forgiveness for his sins, forgiveness for the blood of innocents that now lay on his hands. For the first time in a long time, the joy of destruction that normally filled his soul was gone, and shame took its place.

Deaths: LOTS of redshirts. Um, like an entire city block. :)

Bad things: Made Findlay feel guilty. Blew up a city block in Charleston.

I have magical nuclear bombs! Holy magical nuclear bombs! Isn't that COOL???
