NaNoWriMo

[xfirefly9x]

The following is an excerpt from my NaNoWriMo if anyone is interested. :)

A squealing noise caught Scott’s attention. With wide eyes, he glanced across the road. Expecting to see someone getting injured or perhaps axe-murdered, he was stunned when instead he saw a girl of about six years old running around in circles in the yard in front of one of the houses. As he watched, a blonde woman raced out the door and chased the child as she began to tear her clothing off, piece by piece.

“No, Sammi! Come back sweetie!” the woman called. “Please don’t do that. Sammi?”

It was one of the human acts that Scott couldn’t comprehend: parenthood. Why anyone would want to submit themselves to such torture, he could not understand. Why would anyone want to have squealing children with little – if any – self control and habits of making fools of themselves and their parents? It was like lining up willingly to be stoned or be inflicted with some other form of pain. Shaking his head, Scott continued on, cringing as the woman’s shrieks became more frenzied, until finally, she was silent. He turned his head to look back and the child was back in her mother’s arms, grinning as her clothing was pulled back on.

Very nice.

BTW your icon is hypnotic. I couldn't stop staring at it, lol!

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Lol, it had that affect on me also when I first saw it. :)

This is great, very interesting, will you be posting other bits of it?

Add me to the list of people hypnotised by the icon too!

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I won't be posting the whole thing in case it's decent enough to try and get published.. but I may post more extracts like this.

*adds you*

I love it! You've got a great way with words, and they flow together very nicely.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :) Now.. I just have to move onto the werewolf part of it..

[mialicia.livejournal.com]

Oooo, that should be an interesting challenge :)

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

I don't think it will be too difficult. That scene I posted was kinda filler. I'm near to the "I'm a werewolf" part right now. Just finished off last night with my two MCs talking about how it was a full moon that night..

[mialicia.livejournal.com]

Very cool! :)

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :) I hope it works out okay.

[tanisafan.livejournal.com]

Ooo, excellent peek at a character, you definitely have my interest! :D

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

:D Thanks! Scott has just been... talking to. He's not what I expected when I first set out writing.. bit of a contradiction which is way cool and fun to write. :D

I love this, but I can't stop giggling over the fact that the streaking kid's name is Sammi...

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks! :D

LOL! I wonder if Sammi will read it.. I didn't mean anything by it really. Just thought, what's a cute name? And Sammi popped into my head. :D

[odakota-rose.livejournal.com]

Hehe, if she does, I really wanna be there to see it. But yes, Sammi is a rather adorable name.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

*smirks* OMG, that'd be HI-lariously cute. :D

[esprit-de-glace.livejournal.com]

Very nice!
