ysobelToday I:
a) conquered a Pattern of Evil for someone on ravelry (and it really was hideously written; my eyes were crossing trying to figure it out)
b) managed to get 700-odd words in one half-hour sprint, and 600 in a later 20-minute sprint
c) got not only the desired 2k words today, but 3k -- 3122, to be precise
d) which also put me over 10k total words! (11258 total, which is also only 750 words shy of the 2k/day goal I was setting)
My favorite bit was ... I won't c/p the words here because the execution sucks. But I love the concept.
Basically, I had already decided that (since I was poking loving fun at Valdemar anyway) the unicorns should come from this sacred Grove. Which is where our band of heroes is headed to try to see if there happen to be any unicorns hanging about.
My brain decided that there were trees still there, even though there is a crater a mile deep and some distance around from the Grove (think a semi-physical magic bomb, except that the trees were left standing).
Then I decided that the magic bomb of doom had turned the trees to something like glass (cribbing shamelessly from the Jade Sea in Guild Wars).
...and then I found myself writing about how the whole thing was basically one gigantic windchime.
I never would have come up with that in a million years of planning. Lizard hindbrains are awesome sometimes.
