NaNoWriMo...the adventure begins

Well...I started....

...which is an improvement on the last 6 or so years....

Just trying to strike a balance now, between Life and the relentless pursuit of the written word.

I really should have done an outline. This aimless drifting start makes me twitchy....and the fact that the full moon and the time-change have wreaked havoc with my Shinies sleep habits are not terribly conducive to good writing practice....

*sigh*

I think I've got a good story though....

Touchstone Tuesday # 5

Savannah.....
            Steely-eyed resolve, her jaw set, she shifts the
            weight across her shoulders.
                "Can you tighten the straps more?" she asks.
             Wordlessly, I cinch the pack snugly to her blue-fleeced back.
              With a trace of a smile now, my little girl walks on ahead...
                       ....carrying her own books home from the library.

An offering....

sisters of the red moon

we have met before, you and i
somewhen, somewhere.
in time out of time, the space between,
the space where the veil thins and the mist floats across
moonlit oceans.

in the swirling chaos of now,
tendrils of light flicker in the darkness.
reminders of a lost tribe,
of ancient ways where blood was holy
and wisdom shared.

reaching across the chasm of time.
over expanse of space and the shackles of fate
there is hope that in the dreaming
of this and other things, we shall meet again.
somewhen, somewhere.
