word of the day: quellenforschung

"How's the quellenforschung?" asked Bobby. He grinned widely as he wrapped his tongue around the unfamiliar word.
Moriah seriously considered whacking her friend with a textbook. "I have no idea what you're talking about. My essays are coming along nicely and I know what I need to do before our trip."

Hehe. Moriah has rather grown up then! Bobby sounds funny, but I'm not sure if he's just being ridiculous right now or if this is par for the course for him. ;))

My word count for now is 18,148 though I am hoping to push it a little more yet. :) Excerpt is:
"“A bull?” repeated the old woman, as Moira nodded in assent. “What did it look like?” she asked, a little more harshly.
“It was huge, and wild and possibly mad, and its coat, its coat was black, as black as the darkest night without stars or the burnt coals when all fire has left them,” spit out Moira, a little incoherently."
And that's a rubbish description, but there you are. :P ;))

I don't think it's a rubbish description at all! It's rather poetic.
