I has words!!!

After almost a fortnight, today I wrote two pages for Chapter 30 of Kansas 2 - The Yellow Brick Road! I'm so insanely happy that my muse didn't fell victim to re-decorating hell, after all! Here, have some Minbari musings!

Excerpt:

Nidell went out with the fighting troops, too. Not for some nebulously romantic reason humans might have seen in the act, though. Minbari saw nothing romantic in useless sacrifices. Had Nidell not been a trained Warrior, she would not have volunteered for the fighting troops; and even if she did, Neroon would not let her off the ship.

While it was true that all Minbari lived to serve, people were also supposed to serve in a place that suited their abilities best – for the good of the crew, for the good of Clan and Caste; for the good of the whole Minbar. It was that simple, and useless heroics had no place in the time-honoured order of Minbari society.

Hooray! Glad to see your muse hasn't been accidentally been crushed behind a bookcase somewhere:)
Congrats on the writing!

I can't even begin to express how relieved I am! I was afraid that all my creative juices had dried up in this redecorating insanity.

Congratulations! Despite everything, you wrote. That's fabulous!

And I am deliriously happy! I'm even fairly content with what I wrote. *g*

That's even better.

Hurrah! So glad your muse has survived the chaos.

Back from vacation and what RL had waiting for me upon our return.

No writing on July 4th and 7th, but other than that I have been writing every day, usually for an hour. Continuing work on a WIP, some parts needing more work than others, and I found in my original notes a dream sequence that I haven't even begun, so I'll be tackling that soon, as most of the rest is roughly finished. After that comes the tweaking and polishing, and I expect that will use up the rest of my pico.

I'm doing pretty well. I'm up to 1767 words and it feels 'right,' if you know what I mean.

That’s not what happened. The steel of the house sang to him. Frowning, Steel reached out with his other hand.

Tell me what happened

Not how it happened. Trapped.

Who is trapped?

We are. All of us are.

Steel let his hands drop and immediately Sapphire was at his side. “Steel are you all right?”

“The construction of the house disagrees with the official story.”

“I beg your pardon.”

He looked at his hand. “It spoke to me, the steel."

The steel spoke to him? Well, that's interesting.

Posted by

Yup, being created from steel, I decided he would be able to communicate with it, just like people communicate with people.

Posted by

Very good progress! Nice touch there, the steel in the construction speaking to him.

Posted by

Oooh - that sounds really interesting.

Thanks! I'm having fun.

I have kept up with my daily journal posts from the Flower Festival. I am now feeling quite happy to consider them my effort to write each day as each one is taking me at least an hour!

Posted by

You officially rock! And those posts are wonderful, with all the pretty pictures.

Posted by

Thank you!

I had wanted to get over there today, but work has been insane. Sigh... I so need to retire.

Congrats on your accomplishment! Keep up the great work!

Posted by

Retirement is the way to go.

The posts will still be there if you want to look at them in a week or two!
