NiaD Episode VI: Return of the NiaD

Sent at 1046. I’ll check during lunch to make sure it went through all right. Looking forward to seeing the final result(s)!

Signed, sealed and submitted, at 3380-ish words. Looking forward to finding out the rest of the story!

Thank you, Rog.

Jaysen, you are positively concise compared to me. :slight_smile:

I would never aspire to your level of greatness oh wise one.

In my defense, I did leave three mini archs sitting on the floor. The entrance and returns are there. All done with my cast of extras. I could have milled another 4 or 5 chapters out of it.

I’m pretty satisfied with what I sent in but man, some of you have made me second guess everything. I only did about 1700 words and didn’t really do research. I’d say it was because my prompt meant I didn’t really need it but… What if it’s just because I’m a lazy writer? cue existential writer crisis

Been there, done that… all day. :wink:

You aren’t lazy… my research was emailing other folks (and Piggy) hey, what’s the British equivalent of …

When you read my chapter you notice a complete avoidance of

  • location names
  • descriptions of things
  • language idioms not critical to context.

Y’all only get a few hours. Unless you live or frequently visit a scene, it will be hard to get it right. I take the cowards way out, but I’ll stand by my method until Piggy kicks me out.

Finished and emailed my submission.
I want to thank you again for letting me participate even though I missed the sing up deadline.

I wonder if you got the same chapter as me? :slight_smile: It’ll be interesting to compare, tomorrow.

Crap, I forgot to check for words that Britons spell differently. Well, colour me stupid. How dishonourable of me. Not a smart practise.

I’m still going!!!

Seriously though, hope everyone has had a great time! :wink:

Don’t worry - I fixed it.

Finished!

Just passing it by the in-house editorial department…

I’ve just sent mine. 4,500+ words - I really can’t do concise or pithy, I’m afraid. Let me know if you don’t get it, pigfender. And thanks for the fun again!

Hi,

I sent my chapter in at 19.31 precisely.

Am happy to have written The End on something. :smiley:
Thanks for the experience!

Piggy. Where’s my book?

Something’s cooking …

Now I’m going to go back and read the posts from the past day. That should be fun and informative.

I was too late to enter but glad to discover that I was ready to give something like this a try.

Okay, mine is in, Just an hour late.

So mine went in this afternoon I did it sitting outside our tent in Luxembourg never used scrivener on iPad before so I apologise now but family called our son is doing ironman tomorrow but I just did not want to not do it and managed to use phone paired to iPad to send :smiley:
Good luck all and thank you rog for all your hard work so far and to come still
