Wren came out of nowhere, and it worked!
Wren has been my D&D character's name for ever, so I was amused.
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.

That's pretty cool!
Hey, Gud, and anyone ready to query agents, did you know about Query Tracker? It's free and looks pretty comprehensive.

I'm using it right now (well, not right now, right now) and it's very useful.

So I've been looking at my own prompt all week, and nothing. I got as far as vaguely thinking about Rapunzel wanting to leap from her tower. Feh.
In better news, I did something called Word Wars with a friend online last night -- you set a time limit and write as much as possible within it, and whoever writes the most words wins. We did it for thirty minutes, and I wrote 515 words, which is excellent, because I haven't been writing except for the drabbles here at all.
Sadly, now I'm staring blankly at where I left off.

Welcome to Word Wars, Amy! I do that at least once a week with my Star Trek peeps. I wrote 700 words yesterday, thanks to them.

Missed yesterday in a haze of blah and sick. Here's this week's prompt, a line of dialogue:
"I just can't decide."

I was skimming. This phrase caught my eye and took me to an Easter place. I imagine the jousts could be very entertaining.

I've been overwhelmed with things to do and it's kept me from sending out a lot of queries (or anything else for that matter). But I got another partial request (in less than 12 hours from sending it) and my query included sample pages so they've presumably seen a little bit of my writing before the request.
So far I've sent out eight queries that have resulted in two form rejections and two partials. Three of the others are still inside the response time given in their info. The last didn't have a response time given. My first partial got rejected though :(.
