a new writing venture
I'm taking a tip from two writer friends of mine, well, one of them is a friend..... In a haphazard way I found out that the cute ex-writing teacher only writes 143 words a day (allegedly). He writes 143 words on a story a day, probably every day. Wow, doesn't seem like that much, but you never know. So I decided to give it a try. I'm going to write a story, 143 words at a time. Here we go:
Paige coasted the car into her assigned spot in the Senior parking lot. The spot faced the woods at the far corner of the school’s campus. After muscling the car into Park, she turned off the engine and listened to the ticking of the car cooling off. This day was a time bomb, the sound only made it more visceral. She pulled a crushed pack of cigarettes from her bag. Slowly she slid a smoke from the pack and gently straightened it. She punched the car lighter and stared straight ahead.
The window was open half way. A breeze kicked up and made her left eye water. She flicked ash into her resident Diet Mountian Dew can and wiped her eye with the back of her cigarette hand. She stole a quick glance at the term paper next to her on the seat.
