Just asked some of the folks at the Broad Ripple write-in, and I liked what I heard. I apparently need to work somewhere without wireless access, because I am easily distracted. But here is the last sentence that I wrote: "The growth of hair on her legs was gone." |

I'm really easily distracted too. It sucks that Starbucks is my favorite place to hang out and write. lol

"And so Hero, with his feet on the deck and his head in the clouds, headed off to bed after a long day of sparring, helping, and thinking of his sudden decision to abandon all logic and reason to race after a dream of saving a princess and the world."
----------Wow. That was more dramatic then I had anticipated. :P

My last sentence before I head to class:
Jeanne tried to see the name attached to the picture, but as she did a woman snatched her hand and let her doleful tears wash over her skin.
I've been wanting to use the word dolsome for awhile now... but apparently it is an archaic word from Middle English. So I changed it a little to an actual word, and now I am happy. :)

As of right now, here is mine, though I might try to get some wordage in before my class since I'm just chilling in the hallway waiting for it to start...
"He pats the sand beside him. “Unless you had an important date with... I don’t know, a manatee or something.”"

Garrick sought to create a story that wouldn’t make him sound like a whack job stalker.
That’s right somehow I got whack job in my novel.

^^ whack job is a great word. haha
And this is the last sentence I'm going to write before I get out of this lab and go home to eat and sleep the rest of the day:
He’d forgotten how…kind and protective Lucas could be; it had become harder over the years to picture Lucas in his uniform after seeing him in his prison jumpsuit for so long.

Tonight it was: "He had no idea what time it was."
Wow, that's both boring AND ends with a preposition! Score two for crap! Go NaNo!

God it didn’t matter. Either way it was over.
*cackles maniacally* Oh Vennie darling. If only that were true. Too bad this is, literally, the end of the scene that STARTED the plot.

The cover had been heavily damaged, and the spine of the book was peeling off like bark from a tree trunk.
