Last Excerpt from Novel

Just over 500 words to go before it’s all over tomorrow… err today.  Here’s the last excerpt.  Enjoy!
.

“Let’s go to Spec’s.”

“Um… I’m not sure they have dinner there.”

“I need to get alcohol for my place anyways. Besides, there’s food there.”

“Spec’s has food?”

“Yeah. I mean it’s not as good as Whole Foods or Central [...]

Germany Excerpt

I’ve been home for two days.  Home being Houston.  It’s so relaxing.  There isn’t pressure to network and scramble and succeed like how it sometimes feels in the Bay.  Everything’s just more leisurely.  I even drive slower (although I do miss my 330 ci… I had the top down today… wheeeeee- I’m spoiled… a lady [...]

NaNoWriMo- Day 1

Hi.  I know I haven’t written much in the last two weeks.  All the anticipation of the novel and furiously reading as much as I can, has left me pretty tired and mentally worn out.
BUT today is the official start of National Novel Writing Month, and it’s going pretty well actually.  I’ve already penned 1761 [...]

I’m Writing a Novel

For the first year, I’m attempting to write a novel for NaNoWriMo. I always thought about putting down my history on paper. It’s not egotistical… Okay maybe just a bit. More than that, I’m interested in my past and the lifestyles of generations before me.
I never really knew what my grandparents went through. They don’t [...]

Blood splatter

The wetness started to soak into my dress. It would swipe my leg as I walked, leaving indentations of red, like a signature. Hurry! The wound started to flood with blood, a deep red ink about to expose my secret at any moment.
There was already someone in the bathroom when I walked in. I scuttle [...]

I had a dream

I had a dream that last night I was blogging about this fantastic book I’m reading. I could feel the adrenaline being distributed through my arteries as I poured myself into the post. The message behind the book. My interpretations. Relating to my own life.
It was so real that I came [...]

none

I feel like I’ve been crying for a year. And I’m so scared of being jaded and losing my optimism and belief that I’ll ever find someone to ‘gets’ me. Every day I’m either in tears or in rage. It’s draining.
The only thing I want is love, but I don’t know how to get it.
I [...]

A Silk Affair

One hundred percent Italian silk dangled daintily off the plastic hanger.  She fingered through the fabric to uncover the true silhouette.  A rough cotton thread peaked through the mahogany folds to reveal a small, handwritten price tag: $188.  Her hand flinched back a notch.  Yet, the snowy materials beckoned to her.  Nothing else existed in [...]

Wishes: We have to come up with a better name

This weekend was the best.  A perfect combination of things to do and relaxation.
I emailed this to OO at some point because I had some down time:
Another foggy night in San francisco. Nicole wished that for once she
could celebrate her birthday on a sunny, non-suicidal day. The
building lights that usually dot the financial district hid [...]

A lazy Sunday

She’d never felt quite so alone.  Absentmindedly, she grabbed her cell yet again.  No new messages.  What’s the point of getting her an Arai helmet with matching gear, if he wasn’t ever going to take her out on the bike?  The two texts after her frantic calls all morning, thinking that he had somehow gotten [...]
