two quarters and a heart down

Lunch hours are for writing. 1200 words, to be exact. I am a typing machine when I want to be.

So far: 2720 words
How it's going: Kate is digesting, but unable to eat, drink, or sleep. The ramifications of magic are severe.
Where it's going: Jake next, I suspect.
Where it's been: A silent ride to the diner.
Item of note: This is my first conscious attempt at suspense/horror. All previous writings I've done have incorporated the concept -- I am of the feeling that the best fantasy has some horror to it -- but this is a real attempt to balance a story on the knife edge of tension here.

Not so coincidentally, I finished 'salem's Lot last night. Next up for the nightstand readings: Night Lost by the lovely and talented Lynn "She of a Thousand Names" Viehl.
