Excerpt: "Hello," she said. Her voice did not echo in the cave, though it set off a certain chain effect of ripples down his spine. She had a smile that was brighter than anything he'd ever seen. "Who are you?"

"Shouldn't you know?" he asked. "I'm dreaming. People know each other in dreams."

She frowned at him. Her pale brows drew together and she touched her mouth with small white fingers, like she was testing the feeling of her words before she said them. "Well, if it is a dream, then it isn't a very good one," she said. "Because I don't know who you are. I'm Rin," and she held out her hand.

Len looked at it. He looked at her face. He reached out and grasped her hand in his, and it felt a little like finding a missing part of himself. She blinked a few times, and he thought: ah, you feel the same way.

"I'm Len," he said.

Thoughts: My entire wordcount came from Saturday night to Sunday morning. :( I think what I'd like is to get in the habit of writing a little daily, even if it's only a couple of hundred words, but I've been so dead on my feet, coming home from work for the past week or so, and so all I really want to do is flop around and not actually work on stuff. BUT I HAVE TO, especially if I want to make it for imaginarybeasts (WHICH I DO! ;A;), so I think I'm going to have to try. :[ Maybe I should try that "pick a fandom and write as long as a song plays after randomly selecting some" meme and see if that helps me get jumpstarted on going. Alternately, I could try going to bed earlier, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen, despite all my good intentions. :x

ON THE OTHER HAND, I have a lot of new books to read, since I went to both Twice Sold Tales and Half-Price Books this weekend and bought ... a lot of books. I want to read those, and that means that I am less likely to write when I get home, and this is a dilemma! Sob, maybe getting more sleep/writing on my lunchbreaks is the way to go. :|a
