I definitely made up for yesterday! 1,255 words.Excerpt from Chapter 10:
I hear Daniel’s bedroom door close softly. It’s been longer than I thought. The sun is beginning to set, and the rosy pink illuminates my drawing. The red and orange light blooms on the page. It’s beautiful. If only I could capture the color of the dusk and put it on the paper. But I don’t even have a blue for the sky, or a green for the grass.
907 words today.Excerpt from Chapter 11:
Almost as soon as we’ve stepped up out of the woods, Theodore is upon us, walking with an overly confident swagger, “Hello, Sienna!”
Sienna closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, “Hi.”
He squeezes her cheek, “Aww, Sienna, what’s got you so down?”
She pushes his hand away and takes a few steps back, “I’m down, because you’re touching me without my consent! Again!”
Theodore puts his arm around her and chuckles, “Silly girl! You don’t need to play hard-to-get with me!”
Unfortunately, due to school and homework, I couldn't work on Saints Are Sinners. But I did get 400 words done on another writing project for my Language Arts class!
Excerpt from Chapter 7:
I set my bag down on the floor and plop down on my bed. It seems like Sienna’s arrival here has changed everything. It feels like I’m questioning everything tenfold. I shake my head, and pull out my math book. The problems are supposed to be easy, but the only thing I can think of is Sienna’s terrified expression when I left her with Theodore.
