3 Green Fish

I actually added 3 pages two days ago, but my internet connection cut out before I was done. Then I spent most of yesterday trying to get the internet working again (you all can thank me for that later*), and that didn’t exactly put me in the mood to write. As you can probably imagine, it also made it difficult to do things like post stuff online.

Today, though, I added another 3.5 pages. Thus, since my last novel watch, I have added 6.5 pages of fresh, brand new content! Woo!

It helps that I’ve been working on an exciting part of the story. There’s a little action, which is always good, and I was able to introduce a minor villain earlier, so that’s good too. I definitely think shifting things around like this was a good idea, and as much as I’ve lost time to slow revision, it’s definitely been the way to go. Hopefully I’m back on track to work regularly now (and hopefully the internets won’t get clogged again).

Today’s excerpt is in honor of Cristie. ‘Cause of the fish. It’s also the last thing I wrote tonight, so don’t be surprised if you see problems with grammar. Or spelling. Or coherence. Yeah.

One group of men tended a frame with a dozen long heavy rods, on which hung pairs of herring. In each pair, the head of one was actually threaded through the gill and mouth of its counterpart, forming an inverted V-shape to hang on the rod. Adrianna found herself staring at the rods of herring more than anything—they looked like mutant fish with a second head growing out of their mouths, and a second body bursting out of their sides.

(*Yes, I know I didn’t fix the internet. Yeesh.)
