Nano coming down the back stretch...an excerpt.
From my National Novel Writing Month Novel: The Times of Clouds and Sun
Baxter got out and closed the door and walked the rest of the way back to his apartment while she sped away, pondering the whirlwind of events that had taken place, and what they had seen in the field at the old coffee plant, out past Blowing Lodes Retirement Community, “The most unfortunately named facility in town!”
By the time he reached the door, he had made his decision.
He was going to quit his job.
*
He went inside and typed up the resignation letter, which felt really, really good. He thought of all the reasons for doing it…and each one of them made him wonder why he had stayed for so long.
*
“If you don’t like your job, quit!”
“IF you love your job, you’ll never work a day in your life!”
“DO what you love, love what you do!”
In all his years of his working life, he had only met like 2 people who were actually like this.
