Here’s a fragment of something I wrote for NaNo 2006 and which I forgot until just now. I don’t normally like my own writing, but reading this makes me actually want to write some more. I don’t know if I can recapture the mood or frame of mind I was in when I wrote this, because this doesn’t really feel like my work.

I should note that there is some placeholder text in there. There were some “technical” terms I apparently hadn’t devised yet. I’d set it up, but it’s kinda self-explanatory. One quick point - Trill is pronounced “Treell” and they’re an aquatic species. Their ships are filled with a life supporting fluid. That’s about it. Any thoughts? Let me know. I realise there and some inconsistencies. If I ever take this up again I’ll fix ‘em. :)

( In the years following the Trill war... )

This is the first writing I’ve done in...well, since before November, I think. Anyway, a sliver of background: Billie Avatar is a character I came up with a couple months back. S/he is a soul condemned to eternal death and rebirth. No, I don’t know why. I expect I’ll find out if I wait long enough. Alternately born male and female, but always named Billie/Billy. She’s trying to die permanently, to move on to the next plane of human existence. She did something, and she doesn’t remember what it was but it pissed off the wrong people and she’s got all eternity to pay for it. In this snippet, she’s a spacer, born on the colony ship Pride of Chicago, 100 years out of Earth, and three hundred years from her destination.
