We're four days into Camp NaNoWriMo and I've started on the second book for the project this month. I set the goal really low so as not to get overwhelmed with trying to finish the first book. Right now, I'm a little over 55K words in for the first book. Word goal for Camp NaNo is 20k; all I have to do is write around 1k words a day and I'll reach that goal by the 20th! :D
That's about it. Still posting every day to every other day on various sites. I would like to have Beyond the Milky Way published by June 14th; we'll see. Oh, book two will be titled: Lady of Esperia!
Here's your Tuesday Teaser!
“I heard what you and Areiv talked about Friday.” Lindsay
glared at Bradley. His eyes widened for a moment before he gave out a sigh.
“Okay, it wasn’t what you thou-”
“You told him that it was a bad idea for him to be with me.
How do I take that out of context, Brad? You seemed pretty damn clear to me!”
“I just don’t want to see you hurt, Lizzie…”
“For the last fucking time; Areiv wouldn’t hurt a fly! When
I called you jealous that one day, never in my life did I think it was for
real! So, let’s hear it for real this time; what is it about Areiv that irks
you so damn much?” she already knew the answer; Lindsay really wanted Bradley
to openly admit it.
“He… he never hid his intentions! Of all the female species
here, he’s overly nice to you and you alone…? I’m pretty sure there’s plenty of Esperian women for him to
pick from, but he put his sights on you,
knowing damn well that you were already married! I mean, come on, Lizzie; he
started charming you from day one, and you let him!” the words flew out of his
mouth before he could stop them. Bradley knew that they were the wrong choice
of words as soon as Lindsay’s eyes widened and she gasped.
“… Oh, fuck you, Bradley!” Lindsay didn’t want to give him
the satisfaction of seeing tears in her eyes as she quickly turned to leave.
Bradley wanted to pull his hair out for saying what he did but grabbed her arm,
instead.
“Shit! Wait, Lizzie; damnit, I didn’t mean tha-”
“You did mean
that! Let me go!” her voice cracked as she struggled to hold in her tears. It
wasn’t true, Lindsay told herself; Areiv wasn’t trying to charm her from the
start. The attraction was there, of course but they both knew she had a husband.
She did nothing to make anyone think that it was okay to woo her.
“Lindsay, the truth
is that I really like you, okay?! That’s
the real reason why I don’t like Areiv, because I saw that he did, too!
Bu-” the pain was sudden as Lindsay’s fist connected to his jaw; the punch was
enough for him to release her. Lindsay’s hand throbbed in pain but her anger
caused her to be unaffected by the feeling.
