[insignia]

Sorry about the lack of a post yesterday; you can use this one to talk about both Friday and Saturday! ^_^ Have you been writing, or otherwise progressing your fics? How was the week as a whole?

Today is snippet-day, so don't hesitate to show what you've been up to.

Well, I wrote about 3000 words yesterday and today. 2000 alone for the Avenger fanfic, so in a way I already passed my monthly goal. The other words were for two different fanfictions.

Below a snippet from my Patriot fanfic. Colonel Tavington dreading to make an apology for rude behaviour.

-----
Time to make a new plan. Maybe he could ask Elizabeth for a word and maybe he could in-still upon her without creating a new incident, that it would be in her best interest to keep quiet about their conversation. Chances might be in his favour if O'Hara had not talked to her beforehand. Closing his eyes, he stood there enjoying the cool night air and the faint music in the background. Just a few moments longer he promised to himself as he heard the door to the balcony opening again.

“Colonel?” he heard an unexpected voice.

It was Elizabeth Woodward who stepped outside. Tavington's face darkened, assuming that O'Hara had indeed told her about the apology.

“Miss Woodward!” he said coldly.

“I'm sorry if I am disturbing you - I just saw you step outside and wanted to use the chance for an...”, she began before he interrupted her.

“An apology?”

She blushed. “Yes.”

What'd I write? I killed my favorite characters. Well, no, I only killed my favorite character's girlfriend. Bloodily. It comes to the same thing, really, I like Mike as much as I like Tanya and there's a 50/50 chance Tanny's only quitting so nobody looks for her when she runs off to do something incredibly stupid. Anyway, I killed Mike with blood loss and Tanya got really mad at me for it and then I sent it to Riese and am awaiting his reaction with far, far too much glee.

I don't have a snippet because I'm not writing anything! Not yet, anyway. However, I did do some research yesterday, and it was very helpful, as it gives me what I need to visualize the scene, which will in turn help me to write it. I'm in the preliminary "gathering everything I can that might help me figure out how to start this chapter" stage; getting the opening set down just right is always the hardest part for me. But I'm getting there. I've got all day to work on it with no interruptions (except for a break at midday to watch some football). ;-)
