I am in the mood, I just had a hard time picking a starting point and then putting two characters in the post instead of one. So I ended up going in a completely different direction. Normally word counts like that would intimidate me, but I don't think I'll have an issue when there's going to be so much going on. When I write reapings. they tend to be long anyway. 

I think it would be Peeta being called and Haymitch volunteering. It will make for good TV and it might make the other victors see Haymitch as more of a threat. If he feels good enough to volunteer, what else can he do? you know?
