thanks @winterandwords for tagging me! I haven't done much writing yet this week - I can give you the last line from the new first chapter of QBOB, which I finished up last week!
Besides, he thought to himself as he started to pack up his camp.
One school semester won’t hurt.
Sorry it's a small excerpt, I don't want to give too much away rn. I'll also need to update the WIP intro too lol, but I think I'll wait until I'm secure with all my edits.
I tag @aninkwellofnectar , @kelefox and @cottonberryfinn . :3 no pressure ofc.
I wrote 863 words tonight! Met my word count for the day and even went a little over! Not only that, but I’m finally getting to a scene that I’ve been anticipating for a while, so hopefully the writing continues to get smoother from here.
Here’s a little snippet I particularly liked from this writing session!
“Alright, the car’s name is Rhino. Again, not sure why we’re naming it, but whatever. Rest well everybody, we’re on the road all day tomorrow, and I’d rather us be on the alert until we get to the elves.” Not feeling the need to recap the plans for tomorrow, Spencer headed towards the cabinet to retrieve his sleeping bag and set up camp. Cyrus nudged Skylar’s side with his elbow and said,
“Aw, bummer about the Hercules beetle name. I did really like that one.”
“Yeah, well, Rhino was pretty cute.”
“I’m glad you recognize the best quality of my chosen name.” Samuel said, leaning into their conversation. “There’s two principles to stick to when you name things. One - the main physical appearance of the thing. Two - what that physical appearance reminds you of. Somehow, the more generic the outcome is, the cuter the name is.”
“I don’t think that’s how that works.” Skylar scoffed, amused by Samuel’s tip. “But I do still appreciate the name nonetheless.”
“Ah, it’s really whatever. Your’s was really good too. Although, The Rolling Beatles was a little flat.”
“I thought that one was good too, personally.” Rhys piped up, breaking away from his conversation with Lydia to poke his head into the conversation.
“That’s because you love cheesy jokes, you dork.” Samuel snorted, pushing Rhys’ shoulder to make him lay flat on the floor.
“True. That’s why I voted for it in the first round.” Rhys laughed. Skylar joined him.
“Oh god. I’m glad you thought it was funny, although obviously it was terrible. That’s part of why I thought up Hercules last second. I’m not the comedian around here.”
“Yeah, I would say cheesy clown comedy is not your style for sure, but you could always do something different. We’ll make a comedian out of you yet.” Rhys replied, smiling at Skylar as he lay upside down on the floor. He shortly sat up though, and resumed his conversation with Lydia about what school was like before the academy.
