Yes, today, I am being “lazy”. Lazy in that I don’t want this particular post to take up too much time, because I’ve only made my 1000 word/day goal about two days out of fifteen this month, and I plan on making it today! So.
I happened to be tagged on Facebook by another author friend (Lisa Kumar, go check her out!) to post two paragraphs from page 7 of my current WIP yesterday, therefore, I’ve decided those two paragraphs will also be the stars of today’s WPW! 🙂
So, without further ado, I present two paragraphs from page 7 of my still in-progress NaNo Novel, working title: “The Good Thing”! Enjoy!

Not at all how he had imagined them, not at all the violent, unthinking animals full of rage and jealousy he so often saw portrayed on the evening news.
