Breaking News

Fires erupted through Freedonia at the homes of each of the congressional families last night.


(Freedonia is obviously a placeholder name)

Not massively happy with mine, but got to start somewhere!

Zuri’s wakeup call was firmly delivered when he collapsed on the journey home.

I had one line, and then I cut the whole first page cause I decided I didn't like where I started and started a new one.

Official starting line:

The oxygen-rich orchard greenhouse wasn’t so much warm as it was stuffy, almost suffocating, but the tightness gripping Nell’s throat wasn’t from the thickness of the air.

The school bus awaited her outside.


(I'm continuing a WiP this NaNo. This is 1/3rd through Chapter 6.)

Also continuing a WIP. I haven't assigned chapters yet but this is midway through the second scene of Part 2:

In the kitchen yard, he nearly ran into a scullion bearing a covered platter.

New project for 2019:

Same news every year as the one before, so Riley had no idea why anybody even bothered: his pre sport physical showed that while he was fine proportionally, he was still too freaking short.

"Tressi slipped her fingers into her twin brother’s hand and squeezed."

(I know GOT prolly has twincest all hot now, so I feel like I need to say this is not that kind of story.)

I need to check in here more often; I'm missing out on all these fun NaNo threads. Love these openers! Here's mine:

When they were not occupied with the draining of bank accounts and foolish men, the little catfish and her sisters frolicked in the cloud, the internet their playground.

(Continuing a WIP, this is partway into the first scene.)
