There are still a few hours to go, but I’m semi drunk so I better stop scribbling.
However, I’m getting very close to the 50k and I’m only half way through the month.
Yay me!

Story Snippet:
Acwellan nodded. “Let’s get Raguel to put someone on watch here. He might come back.”
Cáel gave a harsh laugh. “He’s rogue. Not stupid.”
“Yeah.” Acwellan picked up an ancient looking pot and held it out to Cáel. “And he’s sentimental. From the way this is displayed, it means something to him.”
“Greek?”
“I’d say so.”
Acwellan was right. Sorol was sentimental. Cáel stared at the pot. Someone had made that, there were still handprints on it. Too small to be a man’s hand, too big for a child. A woman’s print, if he wasn’t mistaken. “You know… you might just be right. He will be back for that pot. I bet Arioch would recognize that handprint on it.”

I’ve slacked. Badly. Time to catch up again.

Hero Mood: Tired
Heroine Mood: Playful
Story Snippet:
“What about you? Any secrets I should know about?” She knew there had to be. Maybe if she made light of it, he’d tell her. “Got any other girls stashed away someplace? An elephant sanctuary perhaps? Oh, I know! You wear contact lenses!”
“Contact lenses?” He stared down at her. “Why would I wear contact lenses?”
“The black eyes. You never told me what that was about.” Mason cupped his jaw in her hand. “You might not know it, but… they turn black sometimes. Like now.”
His hand lifted to his eyes. “Damn.”
“Well? What is it about? Why do they turn black?”
“They don’t.” He looked away. “They’re always black. I’m faking the human eyes.”
Those incredible blue eyes were fake? “What?”

Was at a standstill yesterday.

First I got sucked in watching the final of The Apprentice (and cheered when Helene got fired.) then I kept… watching.

However, I wrote – longhand, on paper – about 500 words, but I haven’t typed it up yet so no snippets of today.

Since I don’t know the actual word count, I’m stagnant for the day.

I’ve had a monster session today.
Very proud of myself for hammering out all that.

Hero Mood: Worried
Heroine Mood: Still sick
Story Snippet:
Sorol snorted at that. “Yeah, right.” He nodded at the bruises. “Does that feel like I am?”
“No.” Rakan moved his shoulder and winced. “Fuck, what did you hit me with?”
“Funny you should say that. I’ve wondered the same thing.”
The Nephilim grimaced. “What do you expect me to do now? Let you go?”
“Yeah. I didn’t want to fight you in the first place.” Sorol said, a wry grin on his lips. “Figured you must have been hunting something. Leaving you for it to find and kill… Then I get back here and find a Ghul trying to eat you. Not very appetizing.”
“No shit.” Rakan looked around. “Where did it go?”
“Ran. Told it if it had eaten your fingers, I’ll be back to get them.” He grinned. “Guess the thought of being gutted wasn’t too appealing.”

Slow day today, worked long, so much less time to write.
I’ll try to make up some tomorrow.

Snippet time again, had some scenes that needed out of my head.

Title: Cursed Legacy – Sorol
Words Written: 812
Words Total: 28752
Hero Mood: In agony
Heroine Mood: Sick
Story Snippet:
Sorol braced himself for the next assault. They’d been taking turns for the past three days, never giving his wounds and fractures time to heal. He had no doubt his face was a mess. His fingers were mashed and broken, his arms twisted, both his shoulders dislocated. They’d driven a spike through his left foot and broken the right one.
“I say we get Naiche up here, or even better, Nastael. Let a Rephaim dig the information out of his brain.” Acwellan stepped closer.
Sorol jerked, but said nothing. They all hated the Rephaim, and Nastael had more telepathic ability in his little finger than twenty Nephilim thrown together. He didn’t want the guy digging around in his brain, ever.
One of the three men in the room grabbed his wrists, wrenched them up and behind him. Sorol screamed with the agony they inflicted.
“Whoa. Musta hurt.” Vezien muttered, then grinned viciously. “Do it again.”

Well, I think I managed about 11k over the weekend, I think that’s a record for me.
Damn, I really want a laptop so I can sit outside in the sun and write!
I might even get some color, then!

Hero Mood: Frustrated
Heroine Mood: Smug
Story Snippet:
Sorol gave a shout of laughter, hearing her mischievous question. “You don’t give up, do you?”
“Nope. You’ll give in, some day.” Her eyes sparkled and she winked at him. “By the way, I’ve ruined a few pairs of your socks.”
“Ah.”
“And I’ve cut the bottom off another pair of sweatpants.” She held out her leg to him, which was clad in a pair of black pants. Minus the cuffs. “And I’m afraid Chooka has adopted me.”
He grinned. “Anything else I should know?”
She scrunched up her face as if thinking hard. “You’re out of coffee, so I depleted your tea.”
“Can’t leave you alone for five seconds, can I?”
“It was more than five seconds. Three days, fourteen hours and,” she turned his wrist to look at the watch he wore, “twenty three minutes.”

Two challenges today!

SoCNoc – obviously

And…

I did it with 2 minutes to spare!

Hero Mood: Laid back
Heroine Mood: Tired
Story Snippet:
“If I keep asking, you might eventually slip up and say yes.” She chuckled. “Maybe I should start the day by asking you. One morning you’re going to be so out of it, you’ll just say yes to get me off your back.”
His reason for refusing was resolved, but she didn’t know that. “So you’ll trick me, and then we have a shotgun wedding?”
“Hey, whatever works!” Mason grinned, then became serious. “I wouldn’t trick you.”
“I know you wouldn’t.” Sorol hugged her close, but his phone started ringing again and he gave an irritated groan, turning his head toward the sound. “Will you give up, dammit!”
“Why are you arguing with your phone?”
“I’m not arguing with my phone. I’m merely refusing to answer, because I’m a little tired of lectures.” Sorol let go of her and headed toward his phone. He stared down at it, then stomped his heel into the casing until the ringing stopped. “There. Much better.”
“You know,” Mason stared at the completely obliterated cell phone, “you could have just turned it off.”

Well I got up at 8 this morning, and it’s 9 in the evening now. Wrote most of the day, aside from making food, talking someone through email setups and stuff, and… drinking a lot of coffee.

Story Snippet:
“Yeah.” She leaned against the doorjamb and he could feel her eyes on him, despite having his back turned. “You were thinking about it, downstairs. That’s what that expression was about. I didn’t offend you. You were actually thinking about what it might be like to marry me.”
He jerked his head up, slamming it firmly into a shelf. “Ow, fuck!” Sorol rubbed the back of his head and gave her an incredulous look. How the hell had she figured that out? “What the hell gave you that idea?”
She grinned when he kept rubbing the back of his head. “Hurt, did it?”
Sorol sliced a black look at her. Dammit, yes, it had.

Oh boy, I sucked today.

635 words today. (It’s midnight here now.)

However, it was the semi final on The Apprentice and I got sucked into watching it lol.

Title: Cursed Legacy – Sorol
Words Written: 635
Words Total: 9801
Hero Mood: Puzzled and exhausted
Heroine Mood: Relaxed and curious
Story Snippet:
She’d let him sleep half hour after that one, worried he might suffer otherwise, but the drug hadn’t worn completely off… Mason glanced at Sorol, who lay on his stomach, resting his head on one arm, the other arm on the other side, on top of the pillow. He looked positively worn out.
