First Day Nerves
Tomorrow is my first day at the new job. To say I'm a bit nervous would be an understatement. I have to be up and at the office at 9am! (are they mad?!) I hate getting up early and most of my days don't start before 10am. Guess whose going to start having to go to bed earlier? Bleah! I don't want to give up my 3-4am bedtime!
I've also been working on my book for teens. I'm at almost 10,000 words, or about 1/8th of the way to my target. (Summer math fun: how many words is my target?) It is about a girl who is bipolar and how it affects her life before she gets diagnosed, getting diagnosed and starting treatment. My daughter's reaction to the first chapter, which is a suicide attempt by the main character, was, "Well, isn't that depressing!" I'm hoping that it isn't too depressing and readers will be able to identify with the main character and what she's going through and see that there is hope, they just have to keep trying.
The first paragraph of the story: Anna glanced at the colorful cocktail of pills in her hand then looked out at the ocean from the warmth of her pea green 1979 Chevy Impala. The rain had subsided but the sky was still a steely grey and the dark surf was unruly and uninviting. The spring storm matched the way she felt—dark and all stirred up inside.
Does it make you want to read more?
