"It's dark in here," Allison said as she looked around. There were no lights on, so the only light came from the sconces that glowed outside the windows. A light breeze wafted in through one open window, otherwise the rooms were still. Picking their way through the dark rooms, Allison found a low table and … Continue reading NaNoWriMo: The Runaway Queen, Day 10

Her eyes narrowed slightly as they carefully studied and committed to memory the route to Time. She didn't even know why she wanted to run, but everything in her was screaming at her to leave. She had no idea how to get back to Earth, so a seemingly, and hopefully, idyllic island would be perfect. … Continue reading NaNoWriMo: The Runaway Queen, Day 9

Landick's face was grave as he answered. "No. Your mother is the daughter of our last queen, but she gave up the throne before leaving Sairon." Allison frowned. "Why would she give up the throne?" She shook her head. "Why would she leave Sairon?" Talone gently nudged her husband. "I don't think the way of … Continue reading NaNoWriMo: The Runaway Queen, Day 8

Their footsteps crunched on gray gravel as they entered the oak grove. Surrounded by towering trees, it was a small open circle with two curved stone benches. It was cool under the shade of the trees and a few blades of grass poked up between the towering trunks. A man and woman stood across from … Continue reading NaNoWriMo: The Runaway Queen, Day 7

The wind began to swirl around them, plucking at hair and clothes. Cass tightened her grip on Daniel and Jonathan and squeezed her eyes shut. The wind picked up, howling in her ears. Her mouth opened as her feet suddenly couldn't feel the ground, but, if she screamed, it was lost in the wind. Almost … Continue reading NaNoWriMo: The Runaway Queen, Day 6

Today was a light writing day since we spent all day looking at places to move to. And then spent over 3 hours in L.A. traffic trying to get back home. I can't wait to be done with this moving process. Jaw set, head high, and eyes focused on the French doors, Alyssum swept past … Continue reading NaNoWriMo: The Runaway Queen, Day 5

Cass cast her gaze out to the ocean. Sunlight danced off the waves, which crashed against the shore in a rhythmic pattern. It was a soothing ballet of sight and sound and she momentarily lost track of what Daniel and Jonathan were talking about. It was easy to get swept up in the waves. She … Continue reading NaNoWriMo: The Runaway Queen, Days 3-4

"Wouldn't it be easier if you used your cellphone?" Jonathan asked as he watched her almost violently stab the numbers. Cass glanced up just long enough to glare at him. "It's at the bottom of the backpack you almost dented the floor with. I wouldn't be surprised if it's destroyed." Moments before the phone was … Continue reading NaNoWriMo: The Runaway Queen, Day 2

This November I've decided to participate in NaNoWriMo for the first time in 6 years. The last time I did it, I worked on a previous version of this story (there have been many over the past almost 20 years). I'll be posting everything I write in full here, going back to the roots of … Continue reading NaNoWriMo: The Runaway Queen, Day 1
