“Four” was, oddly enough, the first Star Wars movie. “Four” is also the part of my June Daily Writing exercise that this is — I could say “week,” but it’s a few days longer than an actual week.
Week One is here. Week Two is here. And Week Three is here.
June 22: Matilda Lyte vs. a Beautiful Man from Yamatai
Again
“Oh,” Matilda says, blushing at the sight of the samurai’s smile. “It was our pleasure. I — I mean we — would never let a dragon eat such a gorgeous — I mean, um… hot, I mean, um lovely… you know, personality-wise…”
June 23: The Battle of Battle Field Battlefield Memorial Monument Memorial Field
Kat and Dunstana stand before the Battle of Battle Field Battlefield Memorial Monument Memorial Field, laid out several years ago the commemorate the monument previously raised to commemorate the battle of Battle Field and subsequently lost to a particularly fierce windstorm.
June 24: The Ongoing Affair of the Orb of Cursemodias
“Orb’s here,” Kat says. “I’ll be over there, as far away from the Orb as possible. Have fun, Tenebella.”
June 25: On the Nearfields Road
“I ain’t much on reckonin’, I reckon.”
June 26: Tancred etc, etc Ivanhoe-Hauteburg
“Gwaedran,” she calls. “I have need of your presence. It seems you have a gentleman caller.”
June 27: Dunstana’s Got a Brand New Hat
“You’re just jealous of my hat, Jimena.”
June 28: Behold, Tenebella’s Lore!
“As this continent’s foremost collector of the strange and ancient, my library is vast and impressive, including but not limited to: the oldest extant copy of the great sage Brorvonius’ study on the use of fire magic – the original having ironically been lost in a fire, a true and accurate account of the writing and publication of Luca Pertico’s True and Accurate Account of the East, a cookbook penned by Emperor Theobald’s personal chef Sandovech, the Book of Unutterable Utterances. And, my personal favourite, the beloved children’s classic Your Hat is Lovely, Miss Bunny Rabbit.”
June 29: Slumber Party at Castle Ansangaar
“As I understand it,” Tenebella says. “I believe this is the point where we eat ice cream, paint each other’s nails, and talk about the boys we like.”
“Boys are gross,” Kat scoffs.
“And,” Tenebella continues. “If there’s time, we can commune with the uncanny gods of the Sublunar Realm.”
“Excuse me?” Amara asks with a raised eyebrow.
“Eat ice cream?” Tenebella says, her eyes shifting uneasily from side to side.
June 30: A Meeting of the Prominent Fictioneers of Porthaven. And also Kat…
“Writing is hard!” Amara wails.
July 1 Bonus: Aurorean Victory Day
“Right,” Lucia says, huddling up with the others. “Somebody needs to keep Apolline distracted, while the rest of us — Oh.”
“Why are you keeping me distracted?” the Auroean sorceress asks, her head quizzically tilted.
“We wanted to back you a cake,” Alda admits. “You know, for Victory Day.”
That’s the end of that. The rest of my month-long Daily Writing exercises are here. I’ll be posting the full recap tomorrow.
