Novel Excerpt

Of course, there was no way my emotions could lay undisturbed by the deployment of the forces of reality. One moment, I held everything firmly in my palm. Every tendril of my quiet tempests was pinioned to a foam board and made to look pretty as they spread into an elaborate web. It was as if I was some sequestrated nymph, allowed to create ripples in my quiet pool and toy with the turnkeys of my imagination all I wished. A mortal was bound to stumble upon me and disparage me with his lack of grace and understanding for my privacy. It was all an act of blissful savagery. One stumble, and all my happiness would be instantly nullified by the snatching winds of change.

I'm trying to reach 40000 words by the end of tonight. Wish me luck.
