Ganymede

NaNoWriMo day 8 today. How are you all doing? I've just had 2 days off. Life got in the way and I think I wrote about 500 words over the two days. I feel partly like I've lost speed, lost ground and partly refreshed too.

I've had to abandon Backwards Reward NaNo. I'm three days and 5,000 words behind, and there's no way I can get back on schedule for that. But, I'm still ahead of target for Normal Nano so following the backwards program still worked to an extent.I'm pleased I tried.

So, Sage is progressing towards an almost complete first part and starting work on a second phase. It's all the same story, and a single work for NaNo purposes but I may split it for ebook release. The important thing is that it feels more complete now and I think I may have something workable when I'm done.

Oh, you want an extract?

Sage is getting ready to leave Ganymede and return to Earth to fulfil her role as Link.

~Please sit.~ A voice arrived in her mind.

A hand with elongated fingers, with far too many joints, gestured towards the bed and an image of a figure sitting on the bed came into her mind. She should sit with her back to them and with her legs dangling off the side, perched on the bed as if it was a chair.

This time, Sage watched them carefully and neither spoke aloud, their small, thin mouths never moving. Slit nostrils tight but just fluttering with each breath they took and enormously black almond eyes blinking slowly in unison. She stood for a moment, really seeing them for the first time. She sat on the bed, uncomfortable with her back to them as long fingers eased away the collar of her shirt. She tensed, flinched as something cold brushed against her skin.

~Apologies. It is not invasive, merely a recording.~

"That doesn't help it feel any better." Sage muttered, forcing her shoulders down and trying to sit as still as she could.
