Hi folks,
There's
not a lot going on to tell you about this time. It's been so damned
hot and muggy I actually celebrated when it rained for an hour or two
yesterday. Sigh. The truth is, I'm a cold weather woman. My favorite
time of year is autumn. I love the colors, warm sweaters and a chill
in the air. Sweltering heat with 90% humidity...not so much.
So,
with little else but to sit and sweat, I've been reading a lot as
well as puttering away at a new story. What's that? You want a peek?
Okay, here's a peek into the story.
* * * * *
Melanie sat on her motorcycle, staring
at the passing waves as the ferry boat carried her across the short
stretch of water to the island where she had grown up. It had been so
long ago. At length she took out her notebook and pen.
“The endless sea
Washes away the past
Forgiving all sins”
Melanie re-read what she'd written
then closed the book and returned it to the pocket of her leather
jacket. “Let's hope so.” The boat was approaching the dock, time
to go, to face the music. She pulled on her helmet and started the
engine as the ramp touched the dock.

That's all you get for now. Tee Hee.
Once we get Blue Rider published in September I'll get to work on
that story.. if you think it's worth pursuing.
ROW80 Check-in
As I confessed above, I've been
reading and puttering away at a new story. It's an action adventure
romance sort of thing. I did manage to get six thousand words written
on it.
I'm still waiting for Blue Rider to
come back from the editor, again. Hate to admit it, but I made a mess
of that one. However, that's why we have editors and that's why we do
re-writes. You folks don't get to see the batter or the mess on the
kitchen counter, just the cake fresh from the oven. :)
Well, that's it for me this time. I
hope you're all on top of the world and loving life. May your days be blessed.
Bright Blessings

Thanks for the sneak peak, Pru! This sounds like an intriguing story. Would love to see more :D
ReplyDeleteAlso I meant to add that I'm also a cold weather woman! I love autumn, especially around the time of halloween when everything has cooled down, lost it's blooms and is feeling a little spooky!
ReplyDeleteHey Natalie, Yep, pumpkin time is happy time, weather wise. :) Yeah, I think I'll push that story out to 80K and see what I've got. I'm just playing with it now. :)
DeleteAwesome work on a new piece! Loved the excerpt! Editing is what it is, something we hate but love at the same time.
ReplyDeleteA love / hate relationship with editing? Yep, that about says it all. tee hee. We can add re-writes to that as well. :)
DeleteI'm a fellow fan of autumn. I love the colors, the pumpkins, the crisp, clear air. It's the season of magic, I believe. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy writing, Prudence! Have a great week and good luck with your ROW80 goals.
Thanks Denise, I work through the heat with thoughts of wool sweater and ripe pumpkins dancing in my head. hehehe
DeleteI'm with you Prudence. I love fall and winter, sweater weather. I just got back from five weeks in Phoenix. The heat was horrendous. Soo happy to reside along the coast. But it's the end of July which means we have similar weather to yours. Although we do have a wonderful ocean breeze come late afternoon and evening. That is our saving grace. Best wishes with the edits Pru. May the force be with you! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, Karen, Phoenix in July. You have my deepest sympathy. So glad you escaped back to the coast. Enjoy the ocean breezes. :)
