Day Twenty-One was the day before traveling, and in packing and movie-watching and the like I only had time for a brief poem:
Make of this what you will )
Day 23 and 24 are a story about Lily and James. It's not very good, but there are bits of it that please me greatly, so I might work on improving it in December. It stretches a bit longer than I intended because I was having trouble with endings, so I'll return to Harry's Secrets today.
Becoming Part of the Pack )
And that brings us up to today. More postage will occur later today, or perhaps tomorrow, but for now, enjoy the above offerings.
Somehow I forgot yesterday was day 12, so I have two day 11s, but oh, well. I couldn't quite focus on "Harry's Secrets" today, and I was in a bit of an odd mood, so I wrote this instead. A note: Ambrose means "love returned".
From a Lover to a Beloved )

I was still under the word count and wanted to write more and not neglect "Harry's Secrets" entirely, so I wrote this:
Scars )
I'm posting less than usual today, and this post is completely random, but I'm exhausted, and still above projected word count up until today. I'll write more and better tomorrow.
A random idea )
Less today. I've actually written more, but most of it was editing the next scene in Harry's Secrets, which was one of the first I wrote, so I can't count that towards my NaNo word count. However, that sets me up for the next two scenes, so look forward to seeing them sometime tomorrow.
In the meantime, here's a short story for today, based on Chala's suggestion, "How Kit Kats Got Their Name." Loosely based.

How Kit Kats got their name, or One Poor Kitten )
This story might require a bit of explanation. You guys know that I'm taking a lot of my unfinished stories and attempting to finish them or get a lot closer this month. This story I've been known to call my "Paladin" story. Here is a section of part three of the story arc. The necessary backstory:
Pelerine is a paladin and a divine champion, Lareli is a mage, and David's Lareli's familiar. They are currently in the midst of a war against the demons that's been building for a while. The world is based, in a lot of ways, on our world. Religion is more important there, though, in a D&D importance level. However, I haven't fleshed out all of the religious beliefs yet. There are a number of athiests, but David's atheism is weird because he has personal experience with deities and still refuses to worship them. There are reasons for this. Most of the overall story will be in David's first-person POV, but this starts with Lareli third-person. If you have any more questions, feel free to post them--there's a lot of backstory here that I haven't said.
Enough babbling, onto the story )

NaNoWriMo

Turns out...I'm completely insane. I've signed up for NaNoWriMo. I'm still doing the short-story version for the most part (at least two of my stories are longer-term. That said, I need to write a bit more tonight, apparently, so I'm getting to that now.
Edit: total word count for today is 1710. The remaining 255 words are not yet ready to be posted, but I'm loggin them for today instead of tomorrow.
Prompt: I am going to write at least one page a day all month in honor of NaNoWriMo (I nearly typed NaNoWriteMore there). Today, I have over two pages. This is in response to Chala's prompt: "pirates". Enjoy!

November: A Pirate's Tale )
