MONTH OF WIPS

The April ExoWriMo just finished, leaving the lot of us with unfinished fics that need some more work on them. The last few months were generally a bit harder on the students and work for all of us, so let's take a breather and focus this month on finishing what we can, before next month's ExoWriMo brings us a new theme and new fics:)

This is the place where you can comment with your progress on oooold fics as well as the ones you started just a few days back. Squee about your word counts, show as excerpts, moan about RL getting in the way of writing or brainstorm plot to finish that darn fic that is trying to get you:) Anything you feel like, the comment section is here for you:) Enjoy!

I wrote a Bennett/Marcus scene today that I think came out really good! It went in a direction I hadn't foreseen when I started the scene, but sometimes you just gotta let the characters drive the scene. I wrote 1182 words today. Not too shabby.

Today's sample:

He didn’t have the energy to walk downstairs to the office, so he entered the nave of the church and took a seat in pew a few rows from the back. He looked around, seeking guidance from a power much higher than Bennett. He closed his eyes, feeling God’s love wash over him till it seeped into his bones and touched his soul. It was a truly blessed feeling. He felt whole, restored.

*I’m so sorry, Heavenly Father, that I didn’t come sooner. I tried to bury my feelings. Then I tried to sort them, only to bury them again. I am confused. I’ve heard the stories. I don’t trust Rose Cooper, yet I believe every word she told us yesterday. I know in my gut he is guilty of these gruesome acts.* He was silent for a spell. What he needed to say scared him, but if there was anyone he could spill his heart to it was God. *I also know in my heart that there is light within his dark soul. I miss him. Lord forgive me, but I do. I miss my friend. I ache for the intimacy we shared. The intimacy we could share. As always, I ask for Your guidance. I know you will show me the way. In Your name, amen.*

Marcus opened his eyes. Bennett was sitting beside him.

“I didn’t want to interrupt.”

“You didn’t.”

Ooh, nice word count! Also yay, so that was Rose not Mouse!!!! And aw, Marcus thinks of Tomas as his friend, despite whatever (or whomever) he could've eaten for dinner, ehehe :D

Thanks! It was indeed, Rose. The bond between Marcus and Tomas is very real. It also may run deeper than it should. ;)
