A Fun July X
First things first: I'm really missing everyone around here!
I know it seems like I haven't been to your blogs - but I have, I promise. The place I'm staying is a detached apartment [off a house] and all the walls make it hard for the connection to keep steady. I can't tell you how many times I've written out a comment, only to go offline when I hit post. Very frustrating. I think I commented on 15 blogs the other day, and 3 went through. It took over an hour :(
This months exercise at the Comupuserve forum was not only fun, but it gave me a much needed push in the writing arena. Woot. I have done no writing since I've been in FL - until this. (I have only an ancient laptop here and it takes a while for the cursor to catch up to my writing sometimes - only to prove that half of the letters I typed were missed.) This scene jumped out at me and I wrote it down zip-a-dee-do-da - well as zip as this dinosaur would allow. Grr. Anyway, I thought I'd share.
This is about 8 years into Kasia and Jake's marriage - and written solely for the exercise.
Instructions for the X: Character A enters room with Y(object). Character B will stop at nothing to get what A has. End scene at B winning, with devastating consequences for A.

Awesome scene! I love it.
Great scene btw :)
Summer - I've got 6 more weeks. 6! It's not as bad as I thought - so far. Just busy, and the whole net thing is grating on my nerves more than the kids constantly nipping at my heels to go somewhere.
Falen - I've noticed quite a few of the blogs I've been to are on a long hiatus.
Erica - Am I still not showing on the list? I'm sure it's my net issues since I've tried over numerous days/weeks now. Don't worry, I'll keep trying, eventually I'll get it I hope!
Just in case.
Great scene, especially considering the vomitous way in which it was written.
- Eric
But I liked the confrontation. Very intense; vivid. I think I bit my knuckles when he hit the door.
Very good job on the exercise.
Good luck with your internet problems. Blogger is also having issues, so maybe its not all your connection issues.

Blogger probs have been frustrating here as well.
I miss you.
Love,
Lola
Eric - I do the copy thing, too (usually). It's just my connection that disappears...
Thanks Donna. I tend to do that with pronouns on my FD, then add in names on my edits.
SD - That's a huge compliment for me. I'll take it, lol.
Lola - Miss you too, Chickie.
