Don’t listen to the website heading, by my clock this is still technically a post for December! A continuation of “Getting Out Those Sulphur Stains,” as promised. The characters here can’t really banter, so most of the humor is found in monologues. I’m a little afraid I am telling more than I am showing, but I tried to layer the satire a little. I hope you can find something to enjoy in my little story about princesses and dragons. The third chapter should be coming along soon, hopefully faster than this one. Consider it my New Year’s resolution: to write more, and specifically to update here more regularly.
Also, Mills’ accent. I don’t usually write characters with a strong accent, because it can swiftly become cumbersome and irritating. I think I’ve found a good balance for Mills, but I’m not as consistent as I would like. I attempted to mutilate a few accents, particularly Cockney and a little deep American South, into something different. Unfortunately, that means even I have a hard time sounding it out in my head. It’s a work in progress.
