Daily Drabble--"The Price of Succor"

( Word of the Day for 22 March 2006--succor )

"The Price of Succor" goes with the notion from The Silmarillion that the Noldor helped to build the Telerin city of Alqualondë. Fëanor uses this as his rationale for asking for the Telerin ships. In Felak!verse, Olwë has a son who is killed in the Kinslaying.

AMC Will Be Posted on Saturday This Week

I will be posting AMC on Saturday--not Friday--this week. Why? Because I have about five pages to write, and I haven't started. I can probably manage five pages in a day--the muses have been kind to me *touch wood*--but why stress myself out? This way, I'll only have to muster two-and-a-half pages per day. If I manage more: yay.

On a completely unrelated note, I ripped the muscle in my hip again. Yup. I'm beginning to think that I should create an LJ tag called "dawns stoopid leg" or something. Anyway, I wish I could say I hurt it doing something heroic, like a really tough skating skill or pulling an old lady from a burning car. But it was incredibly, embarrassingly stupid. ( So stupid that I'm putting it behind an LJ cut because then it feels less stupid. )

Anyway, I went to skating tonight anyway, and I'm hoping that it works like last week, that it stretches it and loosens it and helps it heal in the end. Until then, I'm going to be keeping Cool-Heat and ibuprofen in business.
