Apologies for the duplication in posting, but felt it necessary to cross-post it here as well. And further proof that I'm determined to follow this schedule: I bought a whiteboard with a month matrix on it that's mere inches from my monitor so I don't ignore it:

Got a bit over 500 words for Keepers of the Wards last night amidst being distracted by the Olympics in the other room (oh all right, I admit--there was a bit of internetting going on as well), and I managed to give the scene a bit more oomph. At the moment it's still the opening scene with not much going on, but I inserted an Unknown Factor Nearby for the lead to react to, and it looks like it may work.

Two things about this scene are revealing themselves to me:

1) It could be that a hint of the storyline from my still-unwritten idea Children of Dun Corran might be seeping into this one, and that may not be a bad thing. It could actually be a really good subplot--and give a secondary meaning to the "Wards" in the title. I love it when my storylines make an unexpected but completely brilliant left turns. :)

2) This opening scene is definitely mirroring the opening of the first trilogy--Nehalé's first scene in A Division of Souls--except that instead of his actions affecting a sizeable part of the population of a large city, this takes place in the middle of country land, with only two people being affected. Same opening, but different reasons and settings.

I think I've suddenly figured out exactly where I should go with this one, and I'm quite happy about that. :D
