68. HeroCéolsige   
Hwæt!   
In the month when the land birthed this story, it was warm, it was thawing-time. Deep in the dirt, Spring was scalding Winter's bones with her hot rains, gnawing the old meat off his iron-cold ribs. It was the time of buds splitting open, of new roots snaking and swelling under the dark mud, of Eostre's hungry mouth sliding warm over the earth to melt the ice. It was green.   
Now, the king Céomil was a mild man—a lover of lute-music and poetry, a peacemaker. He squandered his gold and let his strength wilt away, being too plump to best any man. A kin-shamer. A pitiable ki 68. Hero

42. StillApril night:  The bent moon rises  Like an eyelid.   
*   
Orchids, like my koi,  Seem always so quick  To die.

The purple-black sky—  Dark as a new, secret bruise,  Heavy as butter

In my china cup,  These tea-leaves are salmon shoals,  That tea-leaf: a boat. 42. Still

Cherry-blossom trees.  How gladly they exhaust their  beauty to the wind.   
*   
Never have I felt  So soft or chilling a rain  As dying petals.   
*   
An early summer  
Seared my last spring violets  Beyond reach of water.

What to do?  A well-meaning spider nesting  In my watering-can. 88. Spring

12. InsanityCulture   
The beer-slick floor groans  Beneath the sloshing,  
Roiling knot of bodies.  We grind down our heels.   
Arms climb like stalks  
towards the lights,  Hipbones stir and plow  
The warm, sweaty air.   
Everywhere: sore ankles  
And strangers’ slick skin.  Bodies clash, meld: we move  With feverish eyes,   
And unsteady hands.  Where are we? 12. Insanity

National Novel Writing Month

Mon Dec 1, 2008, 10:22 AM
  • Mood: Pride
* [edit] *

With half an hour to go, I got 50,000 words. I'm so doing this next year.

There seem to be some cobwebs all over my journal...

So I'm midway through my first ever National Novel Writing Month (www.nanowrimo.org). Classes seem to be winding down a bit, and so I miraculously haven't been quite so busy lately, so I thought I'd pick up this novel writing thing to squash some discipline into my skull. Self-imposed stress never felt so good. So far I've written 26,000+ words (about 85 double-spaced pages) of completely new writing since the start of the month. Thinking about the 5-page and 10-page essays I have to write for finals just makes me laugh now. There's still a good chunk of text between me and the ideal word count right now, but I think I can count on Thanksgiving Break to get me through it. Long live long car rides.

My wireless internet is still broken. I think I snapped a wire inside the switch that turns it on and off... At least it's good concentration.

In other news, I'm still ridiculously in love with beautiful stationery, and since Target still hasn't gotten new notebooks from the ones they had last semester, I got pretty new ones from Staples and a bed clip-on lamp so I can write in them at all hours of the night/morning.

I can't wait until I get home and can go back to being a morning person.

Later guys. <3
