I joined a support group for those of us in NaNoWriMo. It’s been a great help to me. But for some unknown reason my characters didn’t want to talk today. Or maybe I just didn’t want to write. I tend to get into a stress mode if I feel I HAVE to do anything for an extended period, so I decided to play hookie! All I wrote today was:
***
“It’s time for your medicine, wake up Kendra,” Sister Mary loomed over the bed blocking the warmth from the sun. Kendra wished she could ignore the Sister and go back to sleep. She wanted to feel the warmth of the sun on her skin again, but Sister Mary didn’t budge.
She grasped the blankets and pulled them up to her chin and rolled slightly onto her left side. The pain woke her and kept the veil of sleep from her eyes. “I’m awake now,” a yawn escaped her without warning.
“You’re worse than a kid when it comes to waking up. Come on, I can see you’re in pain. Breakfast’s ready.” Sister Mary did her best to hide the smile and the laughter that bubbled from her throat.
Good writing. Remember…rules are made to be broken.
Thanks my Annie! You’re such a good cheer leader!
