Sunday Snippet
Apr. 26th, 2020 11:02 amChapter 4 of All the Boundaries Between is now up! Things are Happening.
-
This week I have been obsessively working on the sky-ship AU. I started it last Sunday and have not written anything today yet. It is currently 18,033 words in seven chapters. I don't think I have written anything this fast ever.
I don't think I'm yet at the half-way point. But things it has so far: secret identities, floating islands, developing relationship, murder pterodactyls, flirting, awful decision-making from both our leads, sword fights. I am having A BLAST writing it.

Zhao Yunlan nodded agreement. "Hey, you want a go at the wheel?"
"What?" Shen Wei asked, alarmed.
"It's fine!" Zhao Yunlan said, laughing. "We're sailing in a straight line right now. You just need to hold her steady. Here, look." He took Shen Wei's far hand and guided it onto the edge of the wheel, then pushed Shen Wei's shoulder gently until he moved to stand directly in front of it. "See? Easy."
Shen Wei didn't know what to say. Zhao Yunlan took Shen Wei's other hand and placed it on the other edge of the wheel. He didn't take his own hands away, so his body remained close against Shen Wei's back, his breath warm on Shen Wei's neck.
"Ready to try on your own?" Zhao Yunlan asked, into Shen Wei's ear, and Shen Wei still couldn't manage to say anything. He stood, rigid, while Zhao Yunlan laughed again and then stepped away to lean on his elbows against the railings to the side. "Just hold her still. You're doing great."
