WIP Wednesday

I've written a little over 3,000 words this week, and most of that was today. Wednesdays in general are good writing days for me, because I usually don't have to work at my day job (i.e. telling British teenagers to be quiet, kicking broken printers, and making displays for obscure holidays).

This week two of my main characters (and one supporting character) have gone on a mission to save a hero who can—maybe—help them defeat the villain. A witch colony, a weevilby*, an enchantress, and a brownie** are involved. Much danger abounds.

Total word count: 78,838.

Random quote: 

 '“There’s some sort of spell at Covendale, isn’t there? A well-being spell,” she said, pausing for a moment on the far bank of the stream with her hands on her knees. Fear billowed up within her like black smoke. Demons swirling through the darkness. Dyllan, bloodied and dead in the main road of New Alband. A mass of bodies—Floridyn, Frederick, Zenthorn, Fresia. She swayed for a moment, eyes shut.

“This side of the stream marks the western edge of the witches’ territory,” Fathian said. “All of their usual protections end here. It is a shock, leaving. I should have warned you.”'

And now please enjoy some photos of my puppy!***

Klarabel, the German pointer from Northern Ireland. About eight weeks old here (September 2011).

She's feisty!

When she was a bit bigger (January, 2012).

As she is now.

Chasing her BFF, Nells.

*Weevilby: a fold in the space-time continuum that allows you to travel from one place to another distant place by skipping all the distance in between.
**The mythical elf type of brownie, not the Girl Scout type.
***Okay, she's not actually my puppy. Technically she belongs to Big Chimp's parents.
