"Research" of the Day: Some more reading of chess piece origins
Quote of the Day:
Lavinia draws her bow likes she lifts a hammer
Gold tempered with red, the sun and the blood
But a Rook is more smith than soldier.

Never a poet. With the helm drawn over her eyes
All she sees is the grid, the field is gone.

They follow corners like sheet metal.
Novel Poem I Think I'm Unconsciously Channeling In Terms Of Style And Exposition: Dave Matthews songs, actually.

Character I'm Eager to Write: The Knights now.
Character I'm Finding Difficult: Lavinia was difficult at first, mainly because the POV was hard to pin down.
Devices Much More Lifelike Than I Expected: Rook battlements. Really fun stuff.
Best Thing I've Been Able To Meta With Today: Rooks!

Today's Goal: Get some more of this part down.
