I have wordses.

And they are good.

I have to keep reminding myself that This Is Epic Fantasy, Dammit, and thus I may be a wordy bitch and toss important exposition onto the page if I want to. But I'd forgotten how much actual fun this thing is to write. When the characters are frustrated and yet being snarky in that nice understated way, it's a blast. And you know, I didn't give you a snippet last week because of my computer woes, so have a (tiny) bonus snippet:

Before I could complete the thought, I found myself in my own body once more. I staggered against the wall and slid down it until I was seated on the floor with my head between my knees. "I'd like very much for that to stop. Now would be ideal," I wheezed. But at least I wasn't bruised like before, and my shoulder, blessedly, was still in its socket. "What happened while I was gone?"

"Your two dragons," said Malcolm, his tone long-suffering, "had a fearful bloody row. The lady dragon here nearly roasted your body where it stood before I reminded her that she'd be cooking the wrong person."

Hi, this is a good snippet! "Cooking the wrong person" cracked me up.

Hee, thank you. The thing wanted to go "funny," and so I'm letting it. I learned a long time ago not to argue with the Muse.

And, let's face it, after writing the Epic Awfulness That's Happened to Ben for the last YEAR, it feels good to write something humorous. I don't think Brock will be attempting to kill himself in his sleep.

Of course, this is me, so people will still die, but it will be FUNNY.
