Chris and Kyros

So far it's been one of those weeks. You know, the sort where nothing horrible happens but everything seems a little bit off. My mind magnifies all of these little things into big traumatic things. I'm not going to go into any details on this because the details really do seem trivial, but suffice it to say that I'm feeling a bit frazzled.

My writing is slogging along okay. I have the next few scenes in mind as well as a vague ending. I even think that the pieces are beginning to fall into place to make the ending possible. I'm still predicting that I'll finish the first draft at some point in August, giving me plenty of time before NaNo season.

And, as promised, I posted another chapter from my work in progress. It is the tenth chapter, and before I give you the link, I want to warn you of a few things. First, it is the tenth chapter. That means stuff has happened between this and the first chapter. It is about ten years after the beginning. I selected this chapter because it contains the beginnings of the conflict I mentioned was missing. The antagonist is obviously Kyros, and the potential love interest is Chris/ Christina. (Chris is her nickname.) I thought that by showing this chapter y'all might better see what I was talking about before. Chris isn't super important, but later she's been being a bit passive which isn't right. She's supposed to be more fiery.

Anyway, you should go ahead and read Chapter Ten - Chris and Kyros. That's just a working title, but it is kind of amusing since that's the relationship I'm trying to show you by posting this particular chapter. Go forth and read it, and let me know what you think. (General plot and character stuff, no grammar garbage. This is still the first draft.) Enjoy!
