January 24, 2012

Today was difficult, but productive (I think!) I am juggling so many things. I am finishing up my five-page critical paper, taking notes to begin writing my three page critical paper, mentally deciding on my topic for my second book's three page paper, and writing some of my own fiction. It is all inside my head and trying to expel all at once!!! Tonight's work on my book is a chapter from a different character other than Emma. It is Beth's recount of an incident that happened in the past. Here is my favorite part, which happens to end the chapter:


Karley’s eyes were darting around, like a wild animal, paranoid of its hunter’s approach. The face was Karley. The voice was Karley. But the eyes – they were barbaric. Spasmodic. Empty. They were void of any part of Karley recognizable to Beth.
They were the eyes of a stranger.
