A Productive Day

[dwgm]

During my sojourn at the Ventura County Courthouse today (jury duty) I was quite productive: took a nap; went shoe shopping at lunch (unsuccessful); read some of Ciao, America! by Beppe Severgnini; produced a flowchart for my new website, which I've finally begun to construct; wrote the beginning of a plot for a new Harry & the Pirate story; and wrote a drabble off an old challenge from Black Pearl Sails: 'Blood & Gold'.

~ Questionable Outcome ~

“Your fiancé will be wanting to know you’re safe.”

Fiancé.

Elizabeth nodded, mouth awry, very close to tears. Her machinations had succeeded, but at what a cost! A dozen soldiers dead or wounded. James’s happiness. Her own. Even Will’s.

She glanced at Jack, who would have seemed a comic figure in that crown except for the look in his eyes. I admire a person who's willing to do whatever is necessary. But somehow, just now, it seemed rather less than admirable.

She picked her way across to the jollyboat, more than ready to leave this place of blood and gold. ~~

Yes, that's what comes of reading that Character Meta & Theory stuff permetaform put together. One one level, it is a Disney movie! Hello! But if the story and characters were less complicated we wouldn't be here, no matter how pretty the cast.

Glad you liked it!
