I’ve written 60 new words on Reluctant. I can tell you’re impressed.

My head is splitting… I move away from the laptop, the headache eases. I come back, sit down and look at the open Word document and pain flares. I think I have a phobia developing LOL

But I’ve realised I can move past the scene that was stalling me with the old classic.
All together now:

*Insert sex scene here*

Works every time *grin*

I also have to think about a new fantasy novella 10k to 40k for a new epub someone told me about.

But that’s not right now.

Now is paracetamol, convince Samwise that he does need to sleep and crack on with Reluctant. I might even get another 60 words out before I have to go and pick Frodo up from school. Two and a half hours.

Could be pushing it a bit there…

I learned something I didn’t know today in my Weapons and Warfare class.

Ancient greeks fought in the nude.
Mainly to stop wounds being infected by their clothes.

Nobody told this to the people making Troy. Or Alexander…
Erm… Colin Farrell?
…actually clothes are just fine. Infact… Essential.

Merlin… Nimue… whatever the current title is… is out. It’s been hacked. It’s been slayed. And I attached it and clicked the send button. A bit rash… but it had to go! LOL

I’m now in a state of extreme EEP.

It seems to be a regular thing now – finish a story and my body goes into rebellion.

Something bizarre happened to my finger on Sunday – the bottom of my ring finger ballooned and went black with bruising. I have no idea how it happened.

Anyway, Teebee has given me some things to think about (thanks, Teebee 🙂 ) and I’ll try and sort them tomorrow. In the meantime, I’m going to inflict Oren’s Blade on my course tonight. They’ll be wishing they never signed up. *grin*

Merlin is finished… and even has a new title Nimue’s Price. It is, after all, more of her story than Merlin’s.

Now I have to focus on Reluctant.

Eep

I got out of writing a sex scene. Hurrah. Thank you, Merlin! And now to do some jiggery pokery with lead and a quick mention of Nimue’s sisters and I’m done. Double Hurrah!

Turns, out in the home stretch, that I have to write another sex scene. Argh! That one jumped out of nowhere.

I’ve just completed the original one. Now I have to write another one. For the great outdoors.

Clothes on, I think, LOL

Merlin’s at 14500 and I’m on the home stretch. Big relief. Huge. Massive.

I just have to be careful that it does end, because I can envision strands that would drag it on and on. Going to Arthur’s camp… Going back to Camelot… But that’s not going to happen. They’ve sorted their last problem, are in the middle of a fight and then Merlin… well… not giving away the ending. *grin*

I saw The Bourne Identity last week and realised that Merlin is the Professor – Clive Owen. Without the glasses and maybe without the high powered rifle…

Anyway have to start writing. The Ent has taken the Hobbits to the shops. And I’ve just finished putting away 12 tonnes of washing and stuffing the 3 tonnes of dirty washing into the machine. I probably have about 2 minutes. Max.

This is part of the image that I sent as cover… inspiration… for Buying Mackenzie’s Baby, Stephen Dorff being Mack.

I think it’s just his jacket, now LOL

Did I mention that Merlin’s Price has a WMD?
