Writing of the day
I have not been writing much lately, which you may say is perfectly understandable, but is a lot the reason I have no actual writing career to speak of (also because I write things like '...is a lot the reason...') I'm currently trying to get my writing back up to speed and am working on six short stories and a mystery novel (yeah, I know, it's embarrassing, and I wonder why I'm so much better at beginnings than endings).
I'm looking for ways to mark my progress and I'd also like to start posting here every day, so I'm going to experiment with posting a short bit of writing from something I'm working on every day. Today's bit:
The detective grinned at her, a sharp white smile that seemed to lighten his eyes and Sarah almost found herself smiling back at him. Then she remembered where she was and what this was and she scowled at him instead.
His smile disappeared as quickly as it had come. "I know this is emotional," he began.
"Not emotional, annoying!"
"That’s an emotion," he said, one eyebrow slightly raised.
Sarah looked down her nose at him. "You meant hysterical. I am not hysterical," she said precisely. "I am understandably upset. And you are being annoying."
"That’s my job," he told her.
"You’re doing it very well."
