... S'gonna be a long day...

Axel Higgs, Airman Third Class, makes me laugh. How anyone could be so calm in that situation is beyond me.

Update: 10 pm. Not quite what I was hoping for... Oh well.

Flipping through Watership down yesterday got me this quote:

He said, 'Dance for me' and he said
'You are too beautiful for the wind
To pick at, or the sun to burn.' He said
'I'm a poor tattered thing, but not unkind
To the sad dancer and the dancing dead.'

-- Four Postures of Death, Sidney Keys

Wrote a scribble to go with it. Probably in the same sort of mini-world as this was.

As suggested by l_clausewitz, a masterlist of my projects. World, titles and oft-mentioned characters, along with the tag abbreviation. Not that many at the moment, but it'll be updated every so often.

1) The Wilds (tags: cotw, awe)
The Children of the Wilds: A rather rambly story that started as a worldbuilding project. Tamen is fairly sure that he's the prince of Gosli, and intends to reclaim his throne. Leil is fairly sure that he's the prince, or he would be if he were anything near sane. Elsed's one of the Lone Guard, the oft reviled remanents of the oldest empire, and has every intention of keeping those he serves safe. And Alida just wishes that she could find somewhere warm to stay with some platinum. Two clips from Leil-the-Sane's pov are here.
At World's End: Not yet fully outlined. Ebrelle is tired of being dragged across the world in search of Greenfolk by a foolishly worded oath sworn by men and women long dead. So he finds World's End, a place where the Tyhrne never ruled and the Greenfolk have never settled, and begins to build a sanctuary for the Lone Guard. A pity that the only kind of peace that the Greenfolk intend for him is of the permanent sort. Set before cotw.
Also see the explanation of Alida's heritage in Into the Skies, Pech's little adventure, and the long-ish poem A Lord Burnt.

2) Aden (tag: mod)
Masters of Dawn: Tawnry Saberahst has served the Aberaed since she was twelve. Now, though, as a mother of three and a commandant in the Telwahren army, her world is about to change drastically: Briellan Aberaed has surrendered to the Awnasee empire. Upon Briellan's death, Allende Aberaed abdicates, leaving a twelve-year-old to keep the Awnasee from replacing the Aberaed rule with one of their own. Balancing her duties to family, country and Aberaeds will take more than a little finesse... and did she happen to mention that Terrevion and Karashdion, the Lords created to purge the world of threats to its balance, are awakening?
See the creation story here. Further notes to come.

3) Kelrig (tag: kelrig)
Kelrig: First chapter (friends-locked) here. Kelrig, a world where no one is entirely sure if they are dead, alive, or not yet born; where the only thing more numerous than the gods are the demigods; where the only thing, in fact, that is wholly certain is that the island of Isamine has the magic...

Waterloo: Revisions going well. Not too much left to do but add a bit more analysis and reshuffle a few paragraphs. Should be done by tonight, which means that the mentor can read it over and make any last minute comments, which I can work in by Tuesday night. *sigh* I really should have done more work on this in the summer.

Volunteer hours: 50 should be covered by the bell choir--we presented at the LAC yesterday, to an audience of nearly 1200 which included my grandmother and the mayor. Something like 20 from running bingo on Saturdays, 20 from the Thirty Hour Famines, 10 from assorted work at the Open Door. I need more physical activities, though. I've only got 12 from last year's Relay for Life and maybe 8 from weight room.

Writing: Notes for the next chapter of CoTW complete. Typing will occur when Waterloo is done. Swan Sister's hunters, diranallae trees and an invasion. Much fun.

Summer: Going to be at MGS again, although two weeks in July/August will be spent in Peru! I'm going to be working at a conservation centre. More info can be found here, under Conservation in Peru. Should be fun.

Five school days left. Soon peace will be mine...

Seems like I've lost interest in everything I've been writing this month. Workload doesn't help, either, and the one ends up becoming an excuse to avoid the other.

Next chapter of CotW, which I will finish by Friday night, is an irritating one. I don't really want to write it, but it's a fairly important linking chapter, bringing Tamen from Westercross Greening to the border of Gosli. It's looking to be a short one, though, unless I start it at Gosli, which would drop the Swan Sister's hunters and a lot of stuff I want to bring back in later. Stupid pacing. Hard to believe this was supposed to be a worldbuilding exercise.

Any suggestions for regaining interest in a chapter/project?

Oh, yes. An agouti is an impressive little thing. I should bring some into Kelrig.
