"What I believe Cecily meant, Fernley, if you would be willing to give her the benefit of the doubt...?"

~

I wrote 43,933 words in July, over my stated goal of 43,500 words but under my 50K true goal.

Back into the saddle! This story was planned at 52K flat and will probably be 54,000!

It was more than a shout. It shook the floor. It shook the walls.

Cecily kept running, so Fernley kept running.

"Knock. It. OFF!"

Also? Outlines are fun.

“This one is tough, Cecily-child, but he will need careful handling.”

He was? He would?

“You’ve gotten awfully mouthy since you’ve been in here.”

Fernley's situation is getting dire as we go through Chapter four. His orders are missing, his Keeper is pissed, and the Doctor won't let him leave the infirmary.

Will he find his orders? Will he please his Keeper? Stay tuned for more in the Case of the Missing Orders!

I've started on what will be my next Addergoole story for Camp Nano:

Fernley sh'Kendra and the Case of the Missing Orders

As if Fernley's first year at the Addergoole School wasn't going badly enough, suddenly his orders are going missing. Which would be fine, if that meant he didn't still have to follow him. Or that his Master - and how had he ended up with a Master, anyway? - wouldn't still get angry at him.

It's going to be a long year if he doesn't figure this out.

~~

My last line last night:

“Don't worry.” The voice cooed over the chanting. “You won't feel a thing. At least, not for long.”

~~

I'm not sure about the names. Current Kept/Keeper are Fernley/Fishel. I'm a lot less sure about Fishel than Fernley, but I'm not totally set on Fernley, either, esp. for a title character. Thoughts?

~~

And I could use ~3 alpha readers for this as well. Volunteers?
