Excerpt from new “Monster” Story

I had so much fun writing the first series of short stories “My Monster Charlie”  that I decided to do a secondary story called  “Monster in the Wardrobe””.  Here is an except from the story so far.

Sophie clamped her eyes shut and tried to remember that she was brave.  She continued.  “I know this is your home and I’m sorry, but I fear my stepfather more than I fear you . . . I think.”  Then she whispered.  “Please don’t hurt me.”  Silence filled the wardrobe for several minutes.  Sophie opened her eyes.  The monster’s eyes flashed open in the darkness.  Sophie stared into them unable to escape the fear.  She held her breath and waited for his replay.  After staring at each other for what seemed an eternity, she heard his answer.

“I will not harm you, tonight.”

Your Favorite Place to Write

http://www.fuelyourwriting.com/and-your-favorite-place-to-write-is/.

I write all over the house, at the bookshop and in the park.  My favorite and most productive place to write is in the bedroom.  I was trying to figure out why I like the bedroom so much.  It’s not that functional.  I’m sitting in my bed with a lapdesk with a netbook.  I fluff the pillows and sit back with the tv on mute.  So why is it so creative to write here?  I think it’s because I marinate my ideas here.  I lay awake thinking about my stories, my characters and sometimes I dream up the scenes.  My creative place.  What’s yours?

By far one of the greatest articles I’ve read on characters, especially protagonist.  I’ve downloaded the Kindle sample to my iphone (oh how I love that part!).  If I like the book, I’ll buy it, read it, and review it here.  The title is AWESOME!
