It is again Wednesday. *sigh* I considered not posting today. It’s winter in my part of the world and a cold, wet disgusting winter at that. After spending all day at uni in the rain and with amount of required readings building up around me at an alarming rate, I felt I couldn’t be bothered. But fear not my dear WIPpeteers, I pushed on!
Without further ado (you all know the drill by now. Check here for more awesomeness), here is 15 (7th + 8 for August) words from Rebellion Rising. Set pre-previous excerpts. This is a younger, less alcohol dependent Tasyn.
Tasyn had no money other than the five coppers he needed for the enlisting fee.
Also, I’m starting up a new weekly thingy and would love it if you all got involved. Short Story Saturday is an opportunity for you to post, in serial, a short story over a few weeks. You can find more information here and sign up here. Hope to see you all then. 🙂 Also, I’m tagging it on twitter as #ShortStorySaturday

ShortStorySaturday sounds like fun. I’d like to take part only your link won’t let me join up or it just doesn’t like my iPad.
I don’t think the linky opens again for another few days so try again then 🙂
Fifteen words! Ugh! Such a tease. Hmmm…that Saturday bit sounds interesting. Just what I need, another WIP project.
Hehe join us! 🙂
May do that. But . . . well . . . I actually have 4 WIPs because I haven’t yet mentioned the short I’m working on for an anthology! LOL But, I have another short I abandoned that would make a good Saturday venture. We’re out of town this weekend, though. So I’d have to look at next.
Any time is great 🙂
There’s an enlisting fee? That’s interesting!
Ooo… I didn’t realize he volunteered for the army. Is this the result of whatever choice Kara made?
Is it? 🙂 (Keeping in mind this is the sequel to Kara’s story and set quite a few years later)
Sometimes life gets a bit chaotic… We do what we can. Fifteen words but a lot of worldbuilding and a bit of characterization all in one.
🙂 I do what I can.
Short Story Saturday sounds like fun. Will there be a limit on how long the posts will be? I may drag out an old Nano story and let it see the light…
I think keeping it to around 500 words of story per post is good. Enough to keep the readers going and not so much that the length of the post scares them away 🙂
If he had been a copper short there would be no story!
Short Story Saturday sounds interesting. I’m sorry to say though, I cannot. I do wish the short storyers the best!
