"Cory did not exactly like James, but the strange-looking fellow had yet to actually lie to him, give him bad advice or try to steal his car. So, he was practically a saint next to Cory’s last few therapists."

So, Bluebird (or Blue Wings Silver Strings, which I plan to use as the final title.) Wordcount as of writing is 9223 following a series of fairly savage cuts, and there are still a few scenes I need to rewrite for continuity. This story has been an interesting journey and I'm pretty proud that it's still happening ^-^ Literally the ONLY thing that has survived from the story I originally planned is... well... the bluebird. So what I have left is basically a bunch of stuff I made up as I went along. This is going pretty well for me, but it's a writing scheme that calls for an awful lot of editing. If I'm gonna be throwing stuff in freely, I've got to be just as ready to toss them out if they don't fit >.>

The story as it stands revolves around four central characters, three of whom are Lycans of some sort. And of course blue itself. Like my last story, I focus on the characters with their various character flaws and past trauma, and try to bring everything to a satisfying conclusion. Oh, and the world gets saved in there somewhere I guess (and lots of things turn into other things.) There's a darker tone to this one than the last one, mostly because my characters here have more problems to deal with. I'm not quite sure but I think I'm at least halfway done at this point. Maybe. I am pretty confident that I can finish this though. Don't know how long it will take but it will happen! Stay tuned.

By the way, I'm always looking for feedback on my last story >.>b Need to figure out what worked and what didn't. You're probably best downloading it either at FA or at the Crimson Flag Forum. It's call Dragon and Mask and it is about someone who claims to be a dragon on the internet because he actually is a dragon. So let me know what you think!

Well.

Well well.

Well what does that even mean? Well. Three o'clock and all's well? But why do we say 'well listen' or 'well anyway' or 'well if you come this way'. It doesn't mean anything really. It weakens the sentence a bit, to prefix it with 'well'. It says, 'well this is just what I'm saying,' it takes the edge off of a boldfaced declaration of fact. Sometimes its just a spoken punctuation mark to begin a sentence. Well. Well it seems to work just fine, anyway.

And that was your pointless creative-writing preface for this entry.

( This part is the actual journal post. )

He wasn’t fast enough. One of the beast’s shoulder-spikes caught him in the side and tossed him nearly twenty feet up. He felt bones break when he was hit, and more when he hit the ground. A pool of red formed around the gaping hole in his side. The world faded...

“...this is the little one, is he?” said the coyote. “He’s the one you’ve picked?”

“With your permission, cousin. He is one of yours, after all,” said the man.

“Barely. He is a coyote, but you don’t need my permission, he works for you don't he? I’ll grant it anyway But, isn’t he a wee bit dead right now? Otherwise he wouldn’t be here, see?”

“Not for much longer. He’s already starting to wake up.”

“Hey, I think you’re right. Thats weird...”

...Cory blinked. He worked his fingers; they moved without pain. He pushed himself upright.

Story coming along pretty good :D I've got a plot and a villain and a conclusion worked out and everything. Its at just over 7000 words now, gonna be mega-long probably.
