Seven days have passed already. I’ve slept little or nothing, as my mind was busy thinking what I wanted to add in the final editing of Pax. Now that everything is done, I feel at the same time ecstatic and drained, but in a good way.
This week snippet is actually a surprise from my newest wip, one I’ve only started last week. Here is one of the first paragraphs from the T.C.O.M.
“I can’t get away from here faster enough.” She had said that so many times, the other girls had started repeating the words to her as a joke. I really can’t get away from here soon enough. She walked to the end of the room and looked at herself in the long mirror precariously hang to the wall. A pale blond, big blue eyed, freckled-skinned girl looked back at her. “Why you so gloom?” She went back to her bunk bed and jumped on, shoeless feet dangling down toward Idra’s bed. Idra hated when she did that. “Move away those dirty feet from my face.” Marie did that on purpose, she liked when Idra got all mad at her; her dark eyes staring up, her mouth pouting. It was worth the trouble, because Idra couldn’t stay mad long. He laugh was what had attracted Marie to her. Now, someone else was going to sleep over Idra’s bed. This is what I want, a chance to better my life.

I’d like to know where she wants to go and why. A good snippet 🙂
Thank you, Ruth 🙂 Let’s say she ends up not where she thought she was going to… 🙂
OOOHHHH!!!! You do like to tease me, woman!!! You KNOW I can’t wait to see what this is about!! 🙂
But you know what this project is 😉
Yes, but it’s different than knowing EVERYTHING! LOL
I quite like Marie and I get the feeling Idra might a little bit too! I like how clearly Idra’s feelings come across, even in this short snippet. I’d like to know where she wants to go and why she wants to get away so badly (annoying bunk mates aside!). I’m also curious about the title initials translate to…! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you, Clare 🙂 The title is a little bit of a surprise for now 😉 It will be revealed soon!
Awesome Monica, I can not wait to read the whole thing.
Hi, Frank! So nice of you to stopping by! Thank you, sir 🙂
