Finished Chapter Four, but didn't go over it more than once. Have parts of chapter five and something that may end up as the start of Act II that was a bunch of back-story that came flooding out and I had to get rid of to think about what I was doing. So probably around 2000 words so far. I want to continue as long as I can with Chapter five before going to bed (although I am almost done with Brust's Jhegaala and want to get through that this weekend, it's calling to me form the bedroom).
So as a boon to all those who are still wondering just what the heck I'm writing. Here is a sample that just came out.
"When Mr. Hernandez asks you to work on a weekend you say, 'Yes, sir.'," she said back. "Besides, Kevin has the kids out at the zoo, so other than a sunburn I'm not missing much." She reached over and pressed the button that called the elevator and waved me passed.
"You have something against zoos?" I said as I walked passed her desk.
She sighed, "One broke my heart when I was a young girl."
The elevator's bell sounded louder in the almost empty lobby as the doors opened. "You aren't still a young girl? I'm disillusioned," I teased.
"Younger than you, maybe," she said before the doors closed.
"Ouch," I said to the closed doors and the elevators lifted my sunken esteem to the fourth floor.
