See my above comment, this is an excerpt of a story that's been pushing at me all week to write it. I figure it will run about 30,000 words, and I'm over 1/3 done now. A previous story with these characters is complete, also 30,000 words.<br /><br />Thanks, Aaron. It keeps surprising me with new things, although I've been building this world on & off for a couple decades!<br /><br />Danni, they were rather insistent that I get started on this part!<br /><br />Thanks, Steve!Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-49546062299827191102012-10-20T17:53:12.224-04:002012-10-20T17:53:12.224-04:00I really like the dialogue between Mik and Sura in...I really like the dialogue between Mik and Sura in this.<br /><br />The story had me smiling all the way through.Steve Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414279461366098783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-65668324497390815762012-10-20T15:42:24.748-04:002012-10-20T15:42:24.748-04:00It was good to get back to Mik and Sura.

That particular expression is a loan from Low Speech, which suggests the merchant comes from a remote place.<br /><br />Good catch, John! Sura would have happily sold them a coffin, I think.<br /><br />Ganymeder, it's part of a sequel to <i>Accidental Sorcerers</i>. It puts Mik & Sura through a dark phase of their relationship, and they got mad and made me sit & write out the resolution and the ending. (Don't mess with a kid who can summon an ice dragon, y'know?) So then they got me going on this part, which is the last really happy moment they have for a while. This all started on Tuesday, and I'm 1/3 done with the story. I hope they let up on me soon.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-13044281070319690652012-10-19T16:26:10.644-04:002012-10-19T16:26:10.644-04:00Liked this!
