. . . Jo March scribbled away. I do likewise, though in my room, staring at a laptop screen. (A garret for writing sounds much nicer. . .) While I am currently embroiled in a Project of Daunting Proportions, I adore writing little scribbles and drabbles and what-nots. Thus I was delighted to read Astrya's brilliant list of prompts (do go check it out!), and out came this little scribble. I hope you enjoy!
An Unnamed Scribble The moment she sets foot in the snow and feels the taste of snowflakes on her tongue, she knows she's home. Why this strange new place is deserving of that ever-elusive title, she does not know, nor does she care to wonder why. It is enough to feast her eyes on the enchanting picture surrounding her, to hear the crunch of white powder beneath her feet, to soak in the bracing chill of the air, and to listen to the stillness. A thrill of wonder and adventure thrums, subdued, in the air, piercing her soul. Never has she felt so strong, so brave, so insignificant. Behind her, a sorrow-wracked, broken world lies framed in the door of a wardrobe; before her, the light of a lamppost shimmers through gently falling snow. Thank you, Astrya! Do you ever find titles to be troublesome things? What are your opinions on garrets?

Oh, how lovely! Despite its small-ness, this was really quite touching and beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

Ooh, that was beautiful! (Although I am now curious about this Project of Daunting Proportions...) And I am completely with you about titles; they are my worst enemy. (I usually just use "[main character's name] Story" as a working title for my projects :P)

I'm glad you enjoyed it! (Hehe, well...it's "only a novel" [I have a problem quoting Jane Austen books I haven't read], but it's daunting to me, at least.) I'm glad I'm not the only one! :P

Quoting Jane Austen books is never a problem, read or otherwise ;)

It's a Biblical historical fiction about the early church. Oh, I can sympathize with you! I have waaay too many ideas in my head, and Daunting Proportions (I rather like that name :P) is taking me an embarrassingly long time to finish.

Oh, Julie! I'm so glad you're here!! *hugs* I should be the one thanking you, for Dwelling in the Past was a huge impetus for the birth of this lil' blog. And thank you again for sharing the Cavalry's journey; I am all eyes for the sequel. (And if/when you open shop for feedback on the first book, I am very much in line. Very! Much! :P)

Oohlala, how absolutely intriguing! And to think I missed it by—what is it now, nearly two weeks?? It has become a dreadful habit of mine, this disappearing business.

Hello there, Emily! Late or not, I always enjoy your comments. :) Thank you for your kind words about my scribble! I'm gratified that it was "highly successful." And I envy your happy relationship with titles :P
