I woke up earlier than planned, because the covers had been pulled off half of me and my arm was Cold, and because my CPAP was out of water. Now, those two things were fixable, but I was also awakened from a dream where I'd been captured by this female serial killer-psychopath, and though I had plans to get away while I was in the dream, once I pulled the covers back over me, I started to slip back there, and realized that was NOT how I wanted to start my day.
So I got up and made food, and made up a list of names that fit Torn World language rules.
Once Ellen opened the Muse Fusion, I started writing, interspersed with silly things like shoveling snow and mopping up cat puke. Oh, and calling a lady who sent me an e-mail about setting up a job interview. Naturally, all I got was her voice mail.
But back to Torn World.
Today I wrote the following:
An excerpt from a Southern book entitled Moon Myths of Assimilated Peoples of the Empire, which includes a children's song named Birash and Darash. I plan to post this as my freebie. This was written from a prompt by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
valdary .
Building a Home, a short story set in the south, highlighting some of the conundrums posed by their licensing system (which is the way the state raises what we would call taxes, in addition to regulating behavior), from prompts byhaunted_blood and allykat , and sponsored by allykat . The characters in this story are Dini, Lalya, and Filor. It is 1414 words long.
Alligator's First Midsummer Dance, from a prompt bykelkyag , and sponsored by Mikka. This is another tale of the animals in the Riilass Swamps, where Skycat appears, but as a supporting (though not supportive) character. It is 850 words long.
An Afternoon Made of Stories, from prompts bytonithegreat , kelkyag , haunted_blood and padparadscha . In this story, we see Ivara as a young ranger, out riding with Dlameda, Marai, and Inama; we find out how Dlameda got that bearskin--and that's not even the exciting part. This one is available for sponsorship at $30, and is 1900 words long.
Stillborn Dreams, fromysabetwordsmith 's prompt. I like writing stories with happy endings, but this title just kept haunting me. It's a 30-line poem, $9.
An Afternoon Made of Stories and Stillborn Dreams will be submitted as "subscriber only" material on the Torn World website if not sponsored here.
There's still a bunch of really interesting prompts; I wouldn't be surprised if I wake up with another story in mind. Though I have to get packed for Capricon.
Speaking of which -- is anyone looking for a couple of roommates at the con?
