Deiform Three Excerpts #2

I’ll send Deiform Three to my editor next week, so it’s time for a few more excerpts. Here’s a one-sentence teaser for the story:

When Jillian and Sam investigate one of Roberta’s visions, they discover a dark secret lurking behind an affluent neighbourhood’s closed doors.

The story clocks in at almost 80,000 words, which is about the same length as Deiform Two. I’ll have more editing to do after my editor is finished with it, but I don’t expect the length to significantly change.

Excerpts:

Anyone who thought politicians were the most ruthless, scheming hypocrites on earth had never belonged to a congregation. ~ Jillian

You should all form a union. ~ Jillian, to Roberta

You once accused me of doing mental gymnastics. From where I’m sitting, you’re pretty good at swinging around those uneven bars yourself. ~ Sam, to Jillian

To think that some people wanted to connect with their inner child. She had an inner adolescent she’d like to kill right now. ~ Jillian

I mentioned in my last State of My Writing World post that I was going to write the story of how Roberta came into the Fellowship. I started it that very afternoon, and it’s going really well. I predicted that I’d finish the first draft by early October, and I was right. I should finish it within a couple of weeks. Of course, I deviated from the outline. Outlines are like making plans.
