Got some in over lunch and motivated myself to pull it out for some evening work as well. And would ya look at that: 10k already. *beam* Not too bad considering I started this book on April 11th. There was a lot of stop-and-go as I fooled around with what exactly I wanted to say, and how to interweave it all into one coherent storyline. I’ve had a lot of interesting new plot twists pooling around my mind, as well as some much-needed insight on the ultimate villain of it all. Because there always has to be an ultimate villain, don’t you think? Anyway this series started out all realism with a splash of the oh-so-dangerous supernatural, and now it’s becoming more magical realism in my mind’s eye as the story unfurls. And I think I’ve come up with a semi-decent title for the series, which speaks of it’s strong fantasy core: The Wyrms of Nire. Now will that keep? Will Nire and the said Wyrms keep? Not a clue. Everything at this point is a proverbial toss-up as ideas come from every which way.

The difficult part on my end is figuring out when’s a good time to catch one and call it my own.
