WeWriWa 2/15/15

2/14/2015

Good morning ladies and gentlemen.  Actually it's late at night as I'm typing this.  While the "m" key problem is less of one, I'm having technical difficulties.  Last evening we lost internet altogether for a while, and today my computer has been slow.  My preferred browser was going so slow it nearly stopped, so here I am in Firefox, and can't get the WeWriWa banner to load because Firefox doesn't seem to think I have Adobe Flash (which I have).

Oh well, I shall post anyway.  Two weeks ago Gillian blushed and looked annoyed at Duncan's smooth lines.  What will she do this weekend?  Let's find out...


          She did not look at him, but kept walking. “What do you want?”
          “Only to return this to you.”  He held out the book and she halted. 
          The lady stared at the volume in his hand and then at his face.  She should have thanked him at once, and then hurried away; instead she looked as if she wished to take the book and clout him over the head with it.  “Are you a simpleton?”
          “Pardon?” Duncan’s eyes widened.


Slightly creative punctuation was used because I figured Duncan's eyes deserved a mention.  Hopefully a night of rest will see my computer in better shape and I'll be able to do all my usual visiting in the morning!

Awe, poor Duncan?? A "simpleton"! You describe the scene so well--the action in it is incredibly good. The body language conveys her emotions so well. :-)

Thank you, Teresa. Don't count him out yet. This is one of those scenes where the eight sentence limit can make it look one way when it's really another. Tune in next week! :)

Wow! A solid hit. Duncan, take the hint!

Very well written. Great pacing.

Perhaps that's not her book? Not sure why else her tone would come off as saying "simpleton." Definitely intriguing, however.

Oh, it's not just her tone. She actually said that. But it may not be what you think. Thanks, Jenna!
