Whew! I got a lot of words done!

Not as many as I wanted, of course, but a lot, nonetheless. Here's all the gory details:

Word Goal for the day: 750 - made 1586

Starting line: “Good question. And Claire doesn’t want me anywhere near it.” I took a sip of soda. “She was very clear about that.”

Ending line: A nurse hurried by me, and it was almost as if I could see the blood rushing through her skin, which got less transparent the farther she went.

Darling: No birds chirped, and even in the midst of a bright, warm late autumn afternoon, cold shadows lay heavy over the entire clearing. Dark trees hunched over pieces of broken wall, glowering natural gargoyles. I had wondered, briefly, whether it had been this depressing when it was operational.

Then I had Changed, and so had the entire world.

Well, I'm back in the land of the living, after being sick last night and most of today. Stuff is FINALLY staying down, which is good, considering the interview is TOMORROW. I even got writing done tonight.

So, here are the metrics. Oh, I'm trying for 500,000 words this year, so I'll be adding that meter as well to the metrics.

Word Goal for the day: 750 - made 962

Starting line: "Do you trust me, Spooky?" he said, and I nodded.

Ending line: Agony raced through me and carried me along, back into the darkness.

Darling: “Might hurt” was a bit of an understatement. The first hit chipped the mirror and dropped me to the floor, as pain exploded behind my eyes. I knew he was going to swing it again, but I couldn’t see anything, until the fireworks went off again. I heard a screech of anger, quickly drowned out by my scream of pain as the pipe connected with the mirror a second time.

“Hang in there, Spooky.” David’s voice reached me faintly through the throbbing pain, and I clung to it as another spasm of agony racked my body. Sweet bloody Heaven, how long did it take to break a damn mirror?

Deaths: Nope.

Good Things: got out of the ghostlands. X-Files fangirl moment! :P

Bad Things: well, she's not conscious at the moment.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. And it's a very, very different tunnel than I thought it would be...

But a good one. Got a lot done today.
