Once again it is Wednesday and once again, I don’t really care. Currently in the midst of my annual holiday fog, I’ve left actual writing to the way side (including NaNoWriMo) in favour of reading, gathering ideas and inspiration and beginning to map out some short stories. Today’s excerpt is from my NaNo piece which stands at just over 30,000 words and probably won’t make it more than 5000 more before the end of the month. It will be finished sometime but not this year. There will be a post on all the gory details later.
27 words. A discussion with an old … friend. Eri calls in a favour with someone who owes her a lot.
Kelt: ‘Not my problem.’
‘Very much your problem,’ Eriden argued, ‘You ruined my life, Kelt. The least you can do is try to help me fix it.’

Firstly, love the name Kelt. Secondly, very powerful line that certainly leaves the reader wondering. Thirdly . . . um . . . didn’t really have one, but I was on a roll. Not a literal roll of course. That would be messy.
Hehe thanks 🙂
I just get this feeling that Kelt’s not going to make anything ANY easier for Eri… Or am I wrong to be suspicious at this point?
I find a constant state of suspicion is always helpful but in this case potentially unwarranted. 🙂
Well, it says something good (I think) if one’s readers are always on the look out for the “next bad thing”.
Gotta take time to refill the creative well, right? And 30,000 words is fantastic. Hope the fog lifts soon.
It will in time. Maybe not before the end of November though. 🙂
Hmmm… Interesting blurb. Did Kelt really ruin her life? Or is that just Eri sloughing or misplacing responsibility?
Spoilers 😛
Oh, nuts. 😛
