This is a 2 day check in as I spent most of yesterday off-line — no problem just out and about, and then not so much baby-sitting as 'keeping two young people company' for the evening!
I actually did take the couple of hundred words hand written on Friday and typed them up. Then, after the relevant young people had gone to bed, I sat and thought about how the next scenes were going to go. You know when you know the destination but not, immediately, the route!
So by today I have been able to write a further 650 words — and I know what the next scene is, too :)
Here is a little bit. The POV character used to be Dawn (aka The Key), in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, before she was returned to Middle Earth. Ithilienne is her daughter and has her own aspect of 'Keyness' which allows her to, sometimes, be able to speak to someone she knows in their dreams.
Thinking of those on watch reminded her that, looking at how high in the sky Ithil now sat, she should think of going to sleep as Ithilienne might want to ‘talk’ to her. As she undressed and settled into her bed roll she could hear Legolas explaining to a large oak, in a quiet but serious voice, that there would be Elves here more often as time went on, and that he, personally, would rest in its branches tonight; but could it ask the other trees to be patient and stop shouting?
‘And this isn’t weird at all…’ she thought with a smile as she let herself drift to sleep.
