NEW CREATIONS - an end and a beginning

Happy birthday Summer Ross (My Inner Fairy).  Summer is celebrating her birthday by hosting the New Creations Blogfest.   The rules for saying goodbye to the character you were during the last year, and inviting in a whole new year's worth of experiences - and growth - are very simple:

1)Pick one ending sentence from last year's stories, a favourite one you wrote:



I worked on re-writing NEAR EDGWARE last summer - I know more about how to write what I want to say, these days:



The conversation wound on but I wasn't awake enough to follow, I sank my fingers into holes in Caleb’s thick-knit jumper and drifted.


2) Write one brand new starting sentence for a story you have been thinking about, or something off the top of your head. But it must be your first sentence. 


SEALED WITH LOVE is an idea for a more adult novel than I usually write:

I'm not saying it was a rough night but you'd think I'd remember when caffeine-ing a pentagram in coffee granules seemed like a good idea.

My thanks to Summer for this great blogfest idea. I had a lot of fun. :)
