Word Count

Ahem.

Just a brief note to update you on how the work is progressing. So far, every book has been longer than the one before. The first book was about 75,000 words, and Mortal Coil was over 100,000. With Book 6, I'm planning on continuing that trend, but I don't know by how much.

I've been working away at the first section of the story, the first quarter of the book, dipping in an out of scenes and chapters... Even though, officially, I started this book on November 6th, a lot of things have been taking up my time, so I've really only been able to seriously write in the past week. And in the past week I've written almost 20,000 words. That's roughly a fifth of the book, and I've done it in six days.

I am on a ROLL.

Praise be to me!

At least I killed some unknowing MI6 guys... I was in the MIDDLE of their kinda base thing... and they didn't see me... so I went behind them, whacked one in the head, shot another, whacked another one in the head, shot another, and then I escaped :D THE RUSSIAN NINJA ASSASSIN GUY STRIKES AGAIN!

Nicole Fudge (Nicolette Croga) said...

my mum doesn't mind what the ratings on my games are ... if she did I wouldn't have any ...

seriously ther all 15's + very few are 12+

Dragona Pine said...

GoldenEye is a 16+, it has blood when you kill someone, but it's not an 18 because you don't shoot pedestrians...

Dragona Pine said...

¿Kallista, ha terminado usted su ficción de abanico?

Lunar Tears said...

Dragona, that's just showing off :(

I think you used a translator, but the problem with those, is that most of the time, what they say doesn't make sense :(

Dragona Pine said...

¿Podría usted apresurarse un poco? No quiero apresurarle pero quiero leerlo.

Nicole Fudge (Nicolette Croga) said...

KALLISTA!!!!!!!

Dragona Pine said...

¿Kallista, usted obviamente dice el inglés, entonces, por qué dice usted el español cuándo sé un poco de ello? ¡PUEDO CONTAR QUÉ SU REFRÁN!

Octa said...

The Black Sound

A bolt of darkness creeps along the ground
Hunting through the inky blackness
Of the darkling plain
As swift as silence he searches
The Ninth Great Harbinger of Woe

Bringer of the dark despondent dawn
The assassin waits
He strides through dusty halls and hallowed caves
Through the mire and gloam and ooze
For the black sound and the gold of predators

Stalking the mortal coil
He hunts for devices infernal
Annihilator of worlds
Casting a shadow over the light
He follows the tracks of mortal engines
And the suffering in their wake

Sarthacus
A mere name placed upon him
By the remnants of the civilisation
He seeks to destroy.
A cowardly race who fear
The glory of battle
The gleam of the sun upon breastplate
The devastation of the Mighty Horde.

He journeyed far
And reached the edge of patience
Calmly striding beyond
Yet when he returned
He found himself the last
And he despised them.

He seethed at the fate of his people
The snivelling wrecks they had become
Who found the very earth itself
Distasteful.

So Sarthacus waits
And longs for the coming of the night
That must fall upon his prey.
So he searches
For the substance of shadows
For the sweetness of sleep
And the sound of silence.

eh hem:
last time i was on, there wa a lot of poetry so here goes

like a rather runny nose.
release all emoyion,
with the natural mouth motion.
some find it easy,
it makes others queasy.
poetry composition,
to some is a mission.
i am writing this now,
i do not know how.
after reading this though,
you'll be quoting poe
