So the last couple of weeks haven’t been that great writing wise but this weekend I got on top of it.
I finally found a solution to a plot hole that’s been bugging me and came up with a really good idea for the progression of the story*. While my initial ROW80 targets aren’t quite working out I’m carrying on with a few amendments.
I’ve also been reading like crazy, come back on Sunday because I plan to share the book ♥
Ages ago** I promised a little teaser so below is a small scene from my current WIP.
“What is your true name?”
Thomas was looking at me from the makeshift bed I’d set up in the living room. After over a week upstairs he was going mad and driving me to distraction, so I finally relented. Even with the bandages on his face he didn’t stop pestering me with questions. Many of which I didn’t have any answer for.
“Sapphire will do.” I said and returned to the notebook I was practising letters in.
“That can’t be your name.”
I counted to ten and put the pen down before turning back. Part of me was regretting having brought him here. He didn’t belong to the Institute, he was from outside and that was terrifying and exciting at the same time.
“You ask a lot of things.”
He started to pull a face but winced. Checking the bandages he said:
“I work in media, of course I do.”
“Is that why you’re here?”
He studied me. I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks, for the first time in years I was self-conscious about my appearance. The colourless of me. It didn’t matter how bright my clothes were, the only colour I had was my eyes. Sapphire blue eyes.
“Yes.” he answered.
P.S.
Crusade challenge answers will be revealed Sunday, thanks for all the comments.
