First And Last Words (need an Icon for Inner Circle!)

Nov22

First Words of Yesterday: “You don’t look like the sort to take the collar. At least not this collar.”

last Words of Yesterday: “What lands you a position playing valet to Gladiators, anyway?” She’d made her jokes, of course; everyone did. Standing around all those naked and nearly-naked people, with sweaty, well-toned bodies.

2206 words yesterday, bringing my total on Inner Circle to 4,595 and my total all told to 65,251

IC’s average words/day is 2,295.5; the total/day over the whole month is 3089.38

I’m slowin’ down! (and that’s okay)

Looking for a Term

Nov21

I’ve started writing Inner Circle. (“…and a gladiator on top..”)

They like their titles (because I like my titles), and in the case of those who shortcut the Ladder (which is social upward mobility with a system), they gain a title/name showing that service.

Gladiator is easy.

What do you call someone who does it by agreeing to essentially debt/bond servitude for a period of xx years?

First and Last Words: New Project!

Nov21

First Line of Inner Circle: “Kneel, Taslin Altreka.”
(the first ~300 words were a redo of The Test Intro)

Last line of the night:
The woman started walking, and Valran, having been given no other directive, followed her.

I wrote 2389 words (my goal is 1700/day for 11 days), bringing me to a total of 2389 words, and a nano grand total of 63,045

First and Last Words: DONE!

Nov20

First Line of Yesterday: “It was her. It had to have been her that did it.”

Last line of today: (from an interlude, as I went back and filled those in once I got to the end end end) – “I didn’t know anyone else cared about this…”

I wrote 3,405 words yesterday and 374 this morning, bringing the total first draft of Edally Academy: The Angry Aetherist to 60,656 words.

And now I can go work on the candy story!
