That was entirely too easy. I'd ascertained that Krestin had some doubts about the situation, but it was much less difficult than I'd thought to...push the 'panic' button, so to speak. Not that I'm complaining, naturally, but it's always a small disappointment.
Sorted through the manuscripts, finished editing up the most recent one and sent it out. They've been awfully picky about the details but I suppose, considering the subject matter, it's understandable. At least they gave me something easy enough to work with instead of a tauren and a gnome. Who reads that kind of thing, really? Ugh. Trying to make that work was difficult enough, I won't tax my poor sanity by considering just why someone would want to have such a thing written. At least they were paying extra.
In the rest of my spare time, I've been conducting some research into the shadow. Experienced as I am with the light by now, it grows...oh, I don't know how to put it. Some days it just seems as though I'd be far better suited to a different pursuit, and I would be lying if I claimed not to enjoy the thought of it. I never have been terribly capable in anything but a reactive sort of capacity, taking care of the damage once it's been done, and I find myself rather attracted to the idea of holding a bit more power for myself, instead of being forced to sit and wait for things to happen before I'm made useful. As I'm incapable of using a weapon and would much prefer to avoid turning my attentions to the fel or arcane...the choice is quite obvious, despite being warned away from its use previously. I know very well that I'm disciplined enough to handle it properly, and the feel of it is... fel, I've spent far too much time editing today, I can hardly write properly. It comes quite naturally, at any rate.
But there will be time to work more on that once I've slept.
