“I would be a poor minstrel if flattery were not in my nature.”
What! I missed eleven days! And I had such good intentions going into this thing… Oh well.
“Run, run, run!” laughed a voice in the darkness. “Four-feet-two-feet, Down-there-on-the-ground-feet!”
I probed the wound gently with my fingers. It was deep, but blade had not struck bone. At least I could be thankful for that.
I snatched the chicken and marched off, the sound of his laughter ringing in my ears.
And the strings sang back to me, a gentle hum of greeting.

It’s been a week. One full week on NaNoWriMo. We’re a quarter of the way through. And, between that and the five term papers I have due this month, it’s been a lot of screen time. I’m mildly embarrassed to admit that I went to bed with a migraine last night. If I’d been writing this monstrosity by hand, I bet you I’d have carpal tunnel. I’ve listened to nothing aside from my noveling playlist. I’ve drunk and entire tin’s worth of hot chocolate (in lieu of coffee, because that much coffee would have given me a heart attack, and I’ve had mad cravings for hot beveragey things, it being Canada and all). I’m stressed. I’m getting a cold. And, currently, I’m behind on my word count. Which is also stressing me out.
It’s been pretty freaking great.
Word Count: 10449.
If you’re doing NaNo, let me know about your novel!
Isenhelm stared back for a moment. “You have a spine, sweteling,” he snorted. “I’ll give you that.”
“Koening-nin,” I said softly, speaking truth for the first time in a long, long while. “I have nothing I wish to say to you.”
Whatever it was, it was not wine.
