I finally did get going properly - I don't know why today. 1515 words.
Retracing my steps for a bit where the Pennine Way overlaps with the Hadrian's Wall Path which I walked years ago.
Every signpost along the Hadrian's Wall path, for some reason, is for somewhere 1 1/2 miles away - or maybe not always exactly that, but there's always another landmark close by. My first real encounter with the Pennine Way was as a signpost pointing away from the wall across the empty north to a place 7 1/4 miles away, which when I found it on the map was just a single farmhouse - such a different kind of route that I was both fascinated and daunted.
It was an unsettled sort of day - we had our covid jabs this morning, I had some knitting to finish, and a book to finish reading - all distracted me from wrting. But this evening I did write another 280 words of Glorfindel's story. Here's one paragraph;
What he had never even hinted at, through all the time since he had leftAman to take up the role the Valar decreed, was that this was not a totally unknown, random, ‘other’. Not that he had ever met her during the days before he had followed Turukáno out onto the Grinding Ice, nor in Ennor before his death, neither had he met her in those years between leaving Mandos and setting out again, this time by sea, to Ennor.
No, he had met her in The Halls of Waiting.
ETA - I somehow had got Ennor and Aman back to front to start with - it seems I have a real blank spot when I use them - I plead feeling a bit 'off after my covid vaccination! Hopefully I have them right now.
Also - I used to have a Glorfindel icon - time to get one again, I think!
Kate had found that Anthony Edward Stark, in person, had a charm and charisma that burned like the sun, so much brighter than what she had seen on the silver screen. Nick Fury had a charisma which burned just as hotly, but his was not full of charm, it was full of menace. No wonder Tony Stark had caved when Fury treated him like a misbehaving teenager; it would be hard to resist the full weight of Fury's disapproval.

She wanted to cringe.
She wanted to spit in his eye.
She did neither.
