Harm

HARM

“I meant no harm.”

He was silent and stared at me for a moment. He opened his mouth to speak and his lips twisted, a precursor to what I was about to hear.

He closed his mouth and shook his head.

“I can’t believe you don’t get it.” He said.

Selling

SELLING

“What? I’m not selling anything.” The young man looked perplexed, standing on the doorstep.

“I don’t want anything for free either.” I started to close the door.

“Wait! I’m your son!” He shouted, shoving his foot in the closing door.

I stopped. “That’s preposterous! I don’t have a son. I’ve never had any children.”

“It was while you were at White Hall.”

I stopped and opened the door with a shaking hand. No one had mentioned that place to me in over 20 years.

Defended

Defended

And in that moment, I realized I had defended him too much. I had come to his aid one too many times. I had trusted him way more than I should have.

The cold handcuffs clicked as they closed around my wrists and the office shoved me toward the waiting squad car. Putting his hand on my head, he put me in the car and shut the door. Tapping the hood of the car, he turned his back on me.

Future

Future

Sunlight beaming
Daytime gleaming
Never finding more
Blue skies showing
Your eyes knowing
Tell me what’s in store
Ever hoping
Never moping
It’s you who holds the key
Happy ever after
Full of joy and laughter
Darling, now I see.

NaNoWriMo Progress: 21,600 Words!

Hey everyone!

In case you didn’t know, I’m participating in NaNoWriMo this year. This is day 7 and I just logged my updated word count at 21,600.

I am ahead of schedule and last weekend’s goal of 5,000 words each day kind of kicked my booty, so this weekend, I’m sticking to my 2,000 words per day goal. Check out my dashboard, yo!

DaySevenStats

I’ve finished my 2,000 words for today, finishing 2,147 as indicated on my dashboard. I also have a word goal that I set per chapter in my Scrivener application and when I reach it, the bar turns green, so I know I’ve hit my mark.

Here’s a shot of a snippet from the end of Chapter 10, heading into Part II of the novel where the meat happens. Underneath, you can see the chapter word count and on the bottom right, you can see my goal bar is green ’cause I’m a good girl and did all my words today. 🙂

Are any of you participating in NaNo this year? How’s it going? If you need some inspiration, check out my Resources Page for writing prompts, ideas and other resources. I’m so proud of myself for sticking to my goals and meeting my daily goals every day so far. I won’t lie, it’s hard work and I’m tired. But it will be SO worth it once November is over and I have the completed first novel in my series (series? Yes, series!) of novels to come. And I’m so proud of YOU for participating and hanging in there. If you’ve fallen behind in your goals, it’s not too late to get caught up. Just dedicate some time to writing this weekend and you’ll be back in the game!

Happy Writing!

Wordy Wednesdays: European

European

Waiting for my sandwich
At the table by the window
Rain dribbles down the glass
Past my face
I feel very European
Sitting at a cafe
Waiting for something sweet
And coffee
