The Story Match Challenge—Day 8: July 14, 2015

Yesterday’s word goal was 2,400 words… and the day before’s was supposed to be 1,900. Oh well, I doubt the story would have listened, anyway. I had a stop-start sort of day, constant interruptions from my five-year-old, and university administration to undertake. I swear they throw the lecturers in at the deep-end.
I managed to sign up to all my classes, and take a look over all the readings I needed to do, and I made a start on the first essay and readings for next week’s classes.By the time the dinner routine came around, I had reached 1,600 words by 6 p.m. I got side-tracked by family and the bed-time routine and then managed to fit in some language learning before getting back to the writing around 10 p.m. By midnight, I had 3,400 words of story complete, and the feeling that this one might grow into something longer at a later date.Today’s title started out as a randomly rolled Servants Pinnacle , before morphing into The Servants of Pinnacle Rock , which changed to In Service to the Pinnacle by the end of the story. Also, by the end of the story, I realised this was going to be a tale from an organisation known as Odyssey, so I added A Tale from Odyssey to the end.No poetry or flash fiction achieved, but it was a full day, and the results acceptable. I’m starting to be able to keep the stories rolling more easily, and that is a big plus.Story Match Challenge: Complete— In Service to the Pinnacle – A Tale from Odyssey (science fiction - 3,402 words)Total Words for the Day: 3,685
