Well, day three ended at 1008 with the completion of scene one (of seven) on my plan. So day four was the start of scene two, which is the one I had least prepared. Which means that achieving 1299 words by end of play was quite pleasing. Even if none of them are particularly quote-worthy.

The shiftsig woke Cortz from uneasy sleep. With a groan he opened his eyes to dim early-morning light. Good, he'd heard the first bleat and would be dressed before Inaera brought his breakfast. He needed to be ready to receive the nightshift reports personally, not rely on Farll to log them.

Oh, well done for completing a scene and smashing the thousand words barrier! Are you planning on posting the completed scenes anywhere? I'd be intrigued to read.

I wasn't particularly planning to. Once the chapter is finished it'll be going to CWIL for critique, since many of those good folk have already seen the previous three chapters. Though they've probably all forgotten them, since I've been averaging less than one a year.

Ah, I tend to forget that some people live close enough to others to actually meet up once in a while! Empathies with the less-than-one-a-year chapter average; I think I might be running <0.5 pa with my own languishing novel!
