Money on the wind

Joy! Rapture! Relief, most of all. My mom won’t have to sell me to the gypsies! Happiness.
Her progress report was approved and she’ll go pick up her check for three thousand on Monday. Of course by the time her books are bought, her bills are paid and food is bought we’ll only have one thousand dollars to play with but that’s fine with me!
Of course that play money will also be swift to go; mom is buying the seventh installation to the Dark Tower series and, hopefully, buying me a snake! I can’t wait. I’ve been thinking of names all week, probably going to name it after one god or another.
Anyhoo. I’ve been working a lot on Ripples in the Dark; The Red Dove, which tells the story of Alita Sicath, the woman who is, among other things, a stone cold killer. In the prologue, which if five pages long, she kills her lover Asher and that is her tender moment before she becomes a dedicated assassin.
The story is still forming in my mind but I’m thinking it will be a trilogy and, instead of focusing on one character, it will be about three different assassins, one of them being Alita’s own brother, whom she hates.
An interesting story, but nothing worth an award, really it’s just something I pass the time with, as well as reading and stuff and stuff. Anyway I had better stop writing this and get working on my last character sketches.
