“To the victor goes the spoils” has been a saying for a while but I now have written the losers part. “To the loser goes the bill”. That doesn’t seem to sound very funny just by itself but hopefully in the book it will be interesting. I suppose I really should not be listening to the Return of the King soundtrack as I write this story because it is getting rather violent. One main characters just punched a ruffian in the jaw and sent him spinning into a table at the other side of the room. So the fellow that got sent spinning into the table, breaking it, is going to be the one paying for the table as “To the loser goes the bill”.

This story is definitely different than the previous one. This one is very much an adventure story and I’m not certain I’m the best at adventure stories but I’ll find out when this story gets read. The characters don’t seem to be very well formed as of yet but by the end of the book they may get to be very defined.

I have a feeling I’ll be doing a lot of rewriting on this… AND my Mom probably won’t approve of all the action sequences that will undoubtedly end up in it. But hopefully it will still manage to be a humorous story despite it’s currently weak plot. I’m afraid it will be much harder in this story for everybody to live happily ever after for it is the Island of Death and with the amount of adventurers that go there and never return being a considerable it will be very hard to make this story meet with Mom’s approval. Bother. But at least she can use it as an example to my brothers that going to places that have a high chance of danger and are even named “The Island of Death” is a very bad idea unless you are the main character in a story and the authoress looks upon you favorably. Then you will probably survive to the end of the book if you are lucky no matter what adventures and hazards you may go through.

Now back to “The Red Diamond Necklace of Domanider”. I can hardly wait to get to the meeting between the beautiful heroine of the story and the handsome young hero. They haven’t met yet but they are about to. Hopefully… If I can stop writing this post and get back to the story and not fall asleep. Sleep does sound like a delightful idea though… I might just go to bed and leave the story at this very interesting point. I think I will.
