Boyd Harbor, New Jersey, Earth:

He’s coming.
Catherine Lecuyer jolted awake, her hand reaching for the baseball bat leaning against the night stand. Wait–
She was home. She was safe. That was the past.
Heart pounding, she sagged back against the down pillows and focused on the television blaring with a careening car chase and the sharp crack and bang of gunfire. Some cop drama had replaced the cheerful romantic comedy she’d found to keep her insomnia company. She had finally drifted off and missed the last fifteen minutes and the happily ever after.
It figured. She clicked the remote. The picture tube’s grey light faded, leaving her bedroom cloaked in shadow. Dark. Quiet. She took a sharp breath. Exhaled slowly.
She could do this. She tossed to her side. The clock’s red glow glared. 2:13. 2:14. 2:15. 2:16. All quiet.
Too quiet. The baseboard heat ticked and gurgled with the deeper hum of the furnace in the basement. Her ears strained for each tiny noise in the old house.

Mayke It Happen – Week 9

3 May

writers_block_by_olsman_696532-1-smallMood: Encouraged

I’ve been making very good progress on Missing Magic over the weekend. I should be able to finish Missing Magic and reach the 60k in word count without a problem, but the word count will be split between the two stories. I need to decide which direction to take DTB. Once I finish this draft of Missing Magic I should be able to dig back into DTB without feeling guilty for not working on MM.

Mayke It Happen – Week 7

writers_block_by_olsman_696532-1-smallMood: Up and down.

Well, DTB, which is supposed to be the story I complete in MIHC remains at a dead standstill, while Missing Magic, the story I didn’t think I could finish is three and a half chapters from being a complete draft. I blasted through a few stuck chapters and filled in holes in others. I’ve done over 20k words towards MM since April 3.

So should I completely switch focus off DTB for this challenge to MM. Or if I do both? That would put me a little over 31k for word count at the moment.
