Check in: Day 9, Saturday

Sorry for missing the post yesterday, got a bad migraine and slept till very late today.

So, did you ...

... write something?
... thought about anything related to your stories?
... planned?
... sent something off to the beta?
... posted a story?
... dealt with real life issues?


Did not think up a question for today, but since I missed the Friday post:

Please feel free to ask for a beta

or

share a snippet from your story.

I spent Saturday talking and doing sprints in the #writethisfanfic IRC chatroom, and got a load of writing done: 2,184 words in total. I also planned and outlined Continuum, which is part three of my Star Trek trilogy, and started outlining the next scene for Space, part one of the trilogy.

I need a beta for it, and someone to talk the story over with.

Excerpt:
If it wasn't for Pike's perfect calm and the presence of Spock the elder in Ambassador's robes escorting the Romulans, and Ambassador Sarek escorting the Klingons, a brawl might have broken out then and there. As it was, everyone looked to Pike for an explanation, although a number of eyebrows were noticeably higher than usual.

Pike gestured at Spock the elder. "Allow me to introduce Ambassador Spock, Commander Spock's great-uncle—"

Jim raised an eyebrow at that, but Spock the younger looked unperturbed; he wished one of the Vulcans had warned him about his little detail ahead of time. Two Spocks, both called Spock; he could already feel a headache forming. Still, at least it would cover any slips he might make.

"—and you know Ambassador Sarek, Commander Spock's father. Ambassador Sarek?"

Sarek inclined his head regally. "The Klingon Empire have allied themselves with us temporarily to combat Nero's threat to the survival of us all. Allow me to introduce the Klingon delegation, led by Commander B'Etor. Commander Kang, Captain Koloth, Captain Kor, and Commander B'Etor's First Officer,Lieutenant Krase, and Captain Kang's First and Science Officer, Lieutenant Mara."
