Goals for the New Month
First, in the news this week -- I finally got my Twitter account back! @LazetteG there, but it is going to take me awhile to get used to checking it and posting things again. Still, after nearly a year, it's nice to have it back!That will be one of my May goals: Start remembering to post on Twitter, Forward Motion, and maybe do a bit more on FB that is targeted toward my work, and not just

Flash Fiction # 248 -- Saving Everywhere. Part 32: Magic
(Previous)
No one had expected my move. That was good in some ways since Darman and Potilia were intent on the people they took to be the most dangerous, like Lord Cayman. On the bad side, though, it meant none of his allies were prepared to help protect me. I had to move quickly. I had to draw on the magic I'd learned during this odd, long journey.

Flash Fiction # 246 -- Saving Everywhere. Part 30: Battle
(Previous)When the weres tried to kill me, I learned that a Sanctioned Protector could use his power to protect himself, too. Magic surged through me and pushed outward, shoving creatures aside before they did too much damage, though wounds bled on my arms and chest.

Moving Along
I decided to skip Camp NaNo this month. I already have two projects I'm deep into, and while I could use at least one of them in the Camp fun, I decided that maybe not adding to the pressure would be a good idea. So I'm cheering everyone else on, and I hope they have a good time.I have already written 24k for the month. I might be up to 25k by the time this is posted (actually it is 26,249
