Every Tuesday, I post a teaser for one of my current works in progress. I invite all of my writer buddies to join in!
The rules:
Post a link, image, quote, or excerpt related to or taken from your current WIP.
State the name of the WIP.
Do NOT explain yourself! Resist the urge to wax poetic. This is a hint, not an outline.
We Shall Not Sleep
Given the choice between Count Dracula and mustard gas, I would always choose the former. Always.
Working title: The Other WIP. Ha ha. It’s another Middle Grade.
Olina looked around the empty nestery, leaned in close to Tallisha’s ear and spoke in a hushed tone, ” That nasty snot coming out of Erp’s nose…”
Tallisha looked over at her sickly-thin baby dragon as he snortled in his sleep; a thick mold-grey mucus draining from his nostrils.
“it’s because he’s going to be able to breath fire.”
“Breath FIRE?!” Tallisha yelped and her eyes grew large. Olina clapped a hand over her friend’s mouth and gave her a stern look.
“I overheard some Cosmi talking behind the fledgling barn when I went to wash out Erp’s mash bucket. They said he is a throwback.”
The astonished Tamer pulled Olina’s hand from her mouth and whispered,” What’s a throwback?”
“It means he is going to be like a Wilding: gigantic, fire-breathing, and maybe even… dangerous.”
Holy cow, there are two?! Write things, Lala! Write things! This pleases me.
This one was started way back when I graduated from college the first time. I wrote while I was unsuccessfully looking for a job. It is nice to be able to resurrect these ancient manuscripts and try to breath some new life into them. Thank you for being so encouraging!
I want to read your work! Will this one be on Wattpad?
At some point, probably. This one needs a lot of work and there are notebooks missing, so I will be filling in big gaps. 😛
