Day 2: What am I doing, again??

Goal: 3,333 words
Reached: 3,429 words


I'm definitely thankful for the little bit of a buffer that I built up yesterday. Unfortunately just as I finally hit my groove--out of Chapter 1:Foreshadowing, and starting into the actual plot section, I had to stop. Because of schoolwork. Yeesh, how I hate having to write essays during Nano. It is the worst.

In other news Plod has an actual personality. Sort of. She has turned into a precocious child. I had already known she was an orphan, but I hadn't exactly determined how. An her foster-mother has an actual reason to be a foster-mother.


Characters in Day 2 material:

Plod: Being a narrator, yup yup. And a cute nine-winter-old orphan child of the clan.

Gehenna: Being worried about Plod. All we know is that she is nervous about losing Plod, and that she never had any daughters. That we know of. Hmmmmmmm

Seer of Halemm: Yeah, it's Tira. Yeah, she's albino. What now???

Friendly hunter: Shaking his spear and teasing Plod. We won't see him again. Probably.


And I'm making up mythology as I go!!!

Godly figures so far:

Geshavvel: Goddess of death and birth. The first god to walk on the earth and the grandmother/mother/foster mother of humans

A daughter of Geshavvel: The mother of the things that Geshavvel made humans.

Isterre: The sorcerer of the hunt, a son of Geshavvel. Consort to Pelmory, the she-reindeer. Hunts his own children, like Geshavvel. Men pray to Isterre during the hunt for success.

Pelmory: The she-reindeer, who rules the herds. Women pray to Pelmory during the hunt for safety for the hunters.

Almighty being: Formed the other gods and the earth. Dwells in the sky; the stars are his.

Alhera: The Darkness and/or the Destroyer. Plague.

Helamm: God of winter and warfare. He rules ice and blood. An albino is his seer. They are obviously very, very rare.
