Smashing!

But then he’d entered the reaper and it felt…like home. But a home that had been abandoned for years and had been taken over by the wilderness. Kudzu climbing over the walls, the windows smashed, a family of raccoons living in the bedroom under a bed with a moldering mattress.

The word full appears in Foggy Dell a lot more than I expected, so I picked a scene that fit my current desire to be surrounded by blankets and hibernate for a while.

#WIPSnips #WritingSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

“There’s someone new out on the corner.”
Suddenly I’m awake. Someone new on the same day that Lewis was murdered. It might be a coincidence, but it also might not. I wrestle out of a nest of fleece and flannel. What I’d meant as a short ‘power’ nap to fuel a full afternoon of work had turned into more of a bear going into hibernation kind of rest. I should have known that would happen, considering how my body craves fuzzy blankets and deep slumber this time of year.
I pull my foot free and then I’m making my way to the living room and peeking through the slit in the curtains. Sure enough, there’s a stranger on our corner, talking with Gabby.
“Isn’t she cool?” asks Alex.
“What if she’s a murderer?” The tall woman certainly looks tough with her Doc Martens and salt and pepper pixie.
“It’s Friday, I’m sure she’s just your run-of-the-mill, normal visitor.”
Sweet, optimistic Alex.
I hate doing it, but I open up the curtains so the woman can see me as well. If she is dangerous, I want her to know that I see her with Gabby.

No, I can't explain why every story I write is narrated in my head by Liam Neeson. It just is that way. Other authors have their own voices, but when I'm editing my own work it's just:

I emptied my bulletin board so that I can use it for writing a book and I'm waiting for library books that talk about how to outline a book to come in. 😳 #writingsky
