A Light Through the Darkness

New NaNo words - and where the hell did the dragon come from? This is what I get when I don't plot in advance.

starting line: The woods creaked around him, bare branches rubbing against one another, skeletal lovers with bones intertwined.

ending line: “Yes, I’m sure.” She grinned at the slight huff in his voice. “Have a good day, Jordan.” And she hung the phone up before he could say anything else. “Well, well, well. I could get used to this.”

darling: She looked so irate, standing there bare-ass naked, her scars wrapping around her like lover’s fingers, that he had to agree, even though he knew that going to that house was wrong.

Memo to MC: You are not running around naked all freaking book. Just so you know. This ain't that kind of book, sister.

Well, Blood Sacrifice is done and emailed to the editor. One thing off my mind - yay!

Today is another busy, busy day. I'm meeting empath_1111, suelder, tamboblog, beard5 and some other writer friends for dinner tonight. Before that, I've got a ton of things I need to do.

Okay, here's the day in a nutshell:

1. Bread! Need to make several loaves of bread for the week.
2. Lasagna for dinner tomorrow night.
3. Chicken salad for lunches.
4. Finish 1st pass editing for newest DMP novel
5. Get words for NaNo!

So, I'm heading out to beard5's at around 2:30 pm. I've got a loaf of anadama in the bread machine (I do the dough in the machine, then bake it in the oven) and I'm in FM Chat getting ready to start editing for 30 minutes. See you all later!

Still working on grinding out the last of Sacrifice, but I started Descent yesterday. Got the entire weekend to write, so I'm hoping to get a large chunk done (especially since I don't have baseball to watch anymore!).

Descent into Darkness

565/50000

(I'll get a word meter going eventually)

I'll update my 70 Days of Sweat meter later.

Great counts I've been seeing!!!!

More later - hope I get VTO. I'm fried.

Back to the book.

Wow. It's been a busy few days. I'm sorry I haven't posted - I haven't had time!

The day job is picking up - we're heading into Annual Enrollment season, so I'll be working more hours there. And there are changes coming with that too - suffice to say, I shall not be working nights much longer.

Like I posted before, I finished Blood Sacrifice on Monday night - now I'm working on my chapter for the Magic guide book. Honestly, I don't know why this is giving me fits, but it is. I've eked out a few words yesterday and a few today - I'm determined to finish it this week. I have tomorrow at beard5's and Friday at the hospital (Remicade treatment). It's only supposed to be 4-8k - I shouldn't be having this much problem with it.

The final draft of Sacrifice is due to the editor of the anthology on October 31, so that's next week's project. I'm working on the backbone of Descent Into Darkness during my lunch periods this week, since that's my NaNo this year.

Oh, and I set up the NH group! We're under the group forums - it's the NH/SCA group. Join us if you're in the area - we will be doing at least one write-in during November!

Signing off for now.
