Update
I got roughly half of the second short written today, between binge-watching all the Marvel movies I've missed over the past several years. It's been a pretty fun day. The second short, Blood and Shadow, is a more straight-forward story dealing with Morgana Lugus fighting a powerful demon for a kidnapped child's return. It's more action-packed, and generally shorter, than Fata Morgana was.

As stated yesterday, I took Friday off from writing, mostly to decompress from finishing up the first project in my Building a Brand project. You can find a full breakdown of that project, from start to finish, here.
I'll be getting started on the second short story later today (as of posting this around 2AM on Saturday, where I am).

Fall 2014- Building a Brand- Project 1
Topics: | Project 1 | Concept | Logo | Stationary | Signage | Collateral | Result |
Project 1- Bar/ Restaurant /Hotel
For my first Building a Brand project, we were assigned a fictitious business, which we had to create a brand for from the name up. The business serves as a bar, restaurant, and student housing. It's meant to be located across the street from our campus, and would want to focus on commuters. As it's in a more rural area of PA, one of the major points our instructor focused on was that it's meant to be modern-contemporary design, and not hokey, as this area tends to enjoy.

Short Fiction- Fata Morgana
Fata
Morgana
-A Morgana Lugus
Investigation-
By: Eric Thomas
A series of three solid knocks sounded on my office
door, pulling me from what had been an unusually peaceful sleep.
I muttered a curse before sitting up straight, trying to
at least look like a professional.
“Morgana, you’ve got clients in,” a cheery voice called
from the other side of the barrier.
“Send ‘em in,” I called before hurriedly dragging my
hair back from the nest my desk had made it.
I’d managed to get it decently under control when the
door slid open and a couple walked in.
They looked incredibly unhappy as they stiffly walked
into my office, and their misery washed over me in waves to further cement the
visual clue.

Finished the first short today. I'll probably be taking tomorrow off from writing before I get started on the second short. I think this reads much better than the first draft version I'd previously uploaded. I'm having a blast getting back into writing this character.

Despite struggling with the script for my copywriting class's last out of class assignment, I managed to get quite a decent chunk of writing on the short done today, at least as far as doing it during a busy semester goes.

Update
Today, I had to cut some of my allotted writing time short, due to having a thoroughly exhausting day, getting out to vote before my polling place closed, and having work to do for all four of my classes. In light of that, writing was fantastic for relaxing, but I couldn't do it for the full time I've allotted myself for each day in November.
For what I got written, though, I started the scene where Morgana finally meets Johan and his inner monster. The real bulk of the fight, I'm hoping, will be written tomorrow, and that will be the end to the first short of the novel.

For today, I got to the bulk of the Fata Morgana story, where Morgana's dealing with Johan Levi, and the unexpected guest in his head, in the depths of Arkham Sanitarium. Remember, people, this is using the Lovecraft mythos, not DC comics.

For today's writing, I decided to expand on a scene that, in the original short, was just glossed over in a few sentences.
