Progress, Storm Clouds

8,381 words total in novel-in-progress Storm Clouds. Today's word count: 810. I was hoping to get up over 1,000 words, but fatigue's set in, and I'm flying all day tomorrow to get to Moose Jaw. G'night, John-boy.

Palm Springs, July 14, 2008

The storm started herding wavelets ahead of itself to shore. They batted, catlike, at my sandaled feet. The fine drizzle was misting up my glasses. "In a minute," I begged. "Can I have one minute?"

The water seemed to recede a fraction, both in the lake and above it. I could have been imagining it, but I still said a polite, "Thank you." You never know.
