Day 17

It’s hard to find time some days.

I am not sitting around just ready to write.  I do always have time, but the myth of a regular time is difficult to overcome.

It takes me a while to be creative, to get a flow, to have a purpose.  That’s hard inertia to overcome.  That might be worth tackling.

Day 16

Cattatay turned wriggled sideways through the musky tomes.  The long aisle was brighter ahead than behind and promised a better chance to get back to her desk quicker.  Books were just meant to be held and read, but the way these tripped up her walking and scraped at her face was over much.

Managing her way to the end of the aisle she discovered the reason for the light and the seeming escape was a sliver of a window.  The window opened to an exterior wall more than to the outside and was opaqued with rain grime.  Cattatay slumped onto the bookshelf in defeat.

Not much good as a Seer she thought.  I’m not even in the ‘lyncanthropia’ section any longer.  “Is this even the right stack?”

Cattatay’s neighbor was a wolf now.  Originally he was a placid old man with nothing to do but hoe carrots and wait for his sons to visit at holiday.  People weren’t accidentally turned into wolves; it made no sense that Henree had been targeted by a Transformer.

Day 15

A greedy seer is lost in a claustrophobic library. Her neighbor is turned into a wolf by a rogue savage. With the help of a crafty barbarian, she must keep watch alone and in the darkness in order to save her way of life.

I get a kick out of these.

If you crank out more than one, you can see the pattern right away.  If you crank out ten you start to see the beginning of repetition.

None of them would ever be a good fantasy story–they’re too D&D.  Though if you were subtle and skilled writing a nearly good story could be possible.
