Mood: Decent.
Treat: I had tea and shortbread just now??
First Line (Written Today): He remembered when he earned his shield and knighthood, and became Knight Tron of Northern Glen.
Last Line (Written Today): The endless days in a small cell, wondering when he would be put on trial, and when he would be executed for the treason he was accused of.
But those things never came.
Favorite Line (Written Today): The priests, led by old Dumont, had helped to raise the money that sent Tron to the capital for his studies, and he wanted to repay that debt in whatever way he could. While his work as a knight was one such way, he felt that the shabby temples of Northern Glen could use the coin. The head priest always smiled and thanked him, and Tron always smiled back.
Yori had joked that he would be the only knight whose great deeds made him a pauper, but he—was not thinking of her now.
Other Stuff: Only managed one writing session tonight, but I think things turned out all right. This first chapter is proving a bit infodump-y, but I think it's needed to establish the world a little, so whatever. Hoping to get through this scene tomorrow.

Date: 2023-11-09 07:39 pm (UTC)I am also doing a truncated NaNo--I'm going for 15k rather than 50k. I reached the conclusion a few months ago that I am just not built for the 50k haul anymore. I only signed up for the official event this year because this is my twentieth year of participating. Anyway, I wish you best of luck with your DeciNaNo!! And again, welcome to Dreamwidth!!
(P.S. - I'm gonna go ahead and grant you access to my journal; most of my personal posts are access-locked, so... :D)
