Another productive day for me and I have a snippet. :D

Illya waited until he was out of sight and then opened it. White clouds of steam preceded him and Mrs. Waverly laughed. “You know how to make an entrance, Mr. Kuryakin.”

“I do my best. It’s hard with Napoleon around. May I help you, Ma’am? He’s a bit indisposed at the moment.”

“Not sick, I trust?”

“Just attending to his toilet in case he bumps into Miss Lovelock again.”

“Is that the pretty girl with the horse or the sweet girl with the apron?”

“The first one.”

“I suspected as much. The reason I’m here is that I would very much like to stretch my legs. Alexander is busy studying the insides of his eyelids and I was hoping for an escort.”

Illya offered her his arm. “I would be delighted.”

A delightful snippet! I think I should study the insides of my eyelids later this afternoon.

I love that description of Alexander!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I could learn to love Illya. *g*
Studying the insides of one's eyelids ought to be, you know, restful, though.

What on earth is Illya climbing out of? They do seem to be having exciting adventures :)

Your Ilya does have a LOT of charm...

Alas, my back is acting up. However, on the bright side, my brain is burbling with scenes to write once I’m upright again! Crossing fingers for a good upcoming weekend!

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

I hope you're feeling better soon. And have fun putting all those brain burbles (I love that!) into words this weekend.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Good for you! best of luck.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Ouch! I really do feel for you.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Good luck, and get better, soon!

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Ouch! You need a magic space pen that writes upside down - or is movement too painful?

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Ouch! Sending heaps of getwellsoon karmic thoughts and hope the brain burbles brilliantly for you!

There has been something burbling in my head, but it doesn't really fit anywhere so I will leave it to simmer.

However I have written another drabble, this time the prompt was 'Weather Vane' and I will just put it all here (as well as at tolkien_weekly) as a drabble is little more than a snippet - and although set in Middle Earth it works even if you have no idea who these people are!

So - a drabble about being at sea;

The artists had so often been wrong, Tindómë thought. How many times had she seen paintings of ships sailing with billowing sails, brightly coloured pennants at the mastheads streaming behind.

Except, of course, the wind that picked up as they left the land behind was blowing from the East, filling the sails and pushing ‘The Heart of Eryn Ithil’ westwards. And the pennants at the mastheads flowed in it, as if they were weather vanes showing the direction and strength of the wind, pointing forward as if wishing to be the first to see their destination in the Utmost West.

Lovely drabble there. Good luck with the simmering head burbles! This must be the day for burbling:)

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Very nice!

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Like the Dawn Treader's galley at the front :-)

The painted pennants aren't necessarily wrong, but if a tail wind is what you've got... :-) It's a lovely image, everything straining forwards!

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

That's lovely, very visual and her emotions come through well without being too obvious.

Yesterday I did some journaling instead of working on the Easter story. It was easy writing and also fun, as it was prompted by my visit with my sisters.
Today I am working on my Easter story. No word count, it's a give and take, so the time spent is what I will count for today - a half hour in the morning and a good half hour just now.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Excellent. I hope it works out for you.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Journaling is good. Especially when it is about something nice.

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Two kinds of progress :)

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Not much, a few scribbly descriptions and ideas again, but my attention was pretty well taken up with waiting for news of whether the world championships in my favourite sport would go ahead this weekend (I cannot believe I am officially a sports fan, but this proves it!) and I couldn't concentrate....

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Oh, dear. What was the outcome?

[ylla.livejournal.com]

A relatively lazy day, after Tuesday's concentration - quite a lot of knitting, and 520 words about an unexciting walk. (I just couldn't face trying to do a wordcount on my tablet last night, because the new words were all mixed up with old ones.)

Quite near to the top, someone had cut a weird track into the field - a broad line of shorter grass, heading from nowhere in particular to nowhere in particular.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

I wonder who made the track?
