I’m having to play a little catch up at the moment.

There was a pen show… and then a migraine… so nothing got posted, even though I added rather a LOT to this one.

That’s why the Day 12 progress is posted on the 13th. Otherwise I get totally confuddled.

    "Sorry about that," she croaked, sniffling. She blew her nose, only too aware what she must look like to him.
    "Don’t apologize." He lifted her chin with his hand and met her tearful gaze. "Don’t ever apologize when someone hurts you."
    She couldn’t stop a new flood of tears.
    Vezien cursed and kissed her.
    Sabriel gasped against his mouth, too shocked to stop him. She blinked the tears away, staring at him in utter confusion. He kissed the tears off her cheeks, so gentle, it almost made her cry again. Her breath came in gasps, her stomach did flip-flops – and her nose was still running. She couldn’t get over the fact that he didn’t draw back, nor did he pressure her. Sabriel rested her hand against his heart, stunned to feel it racing. He drew back slightly and looked at her.
    "Don’t stop," she whispered.

I haven’t written a word on Vezien’s story, which bugs the hell out of me.

Instead I’ve been trying to shut up another one, which keeps yelling in my head.
In the end I figured as long as he’s screaming, he’s going to distract me from doing what I should be doing — so I’ll write him out of my head for now.

So todays update is not on Vezien, but on Taan instead.

Well, all in all, that’s not bad.

Story Snippet:

     Sabriel slid slowly down the wall when the front door fell shut behind him. Her hand lifted to her lips, touching them as if they’d changed shape. They tingled. She could still feel his thumb there, couldn’t forget how he’d made her feel. She hadn’t wanted to feel anything. Not for him. Now she couldn’t get that look he’d given her out of her mind.
     He’d looked at her as if she were the most precious thing in his world.
     How the hell was a woman supposed to resist that?
     For long minutes she just sat and stared at the door, her mind a jumble of contradicting thoughts, trying to get over her attraction to him. And she was attracted. Sabriel wouldn’t lie to herself, didn’t try to reason her feelings away. There was something about him that pulled her in, something that made her care when she wanted to hate him. It was all a total mess.

My challenge for October is going to be 21k Words. Again.

The update is on the right, in the progress meters as well, but I figured I put it in here too.

However… I’m going to do it in the form of a Tweety.

Also… I’ve started to mess around on Twitter. Eeek.

And here is the Tweety Format again:

I will probably update the word count at midnight, which is about an hour from now. Last night the count stood at: 40559 (This is mainly for my own reference so I know how I am getting on!)
