Whiteboard

I’ve been writing on the whiteboard and I’ve taken lots of pics.

My New Year’s resolution was to share more and be more open to people. So I’ll be sharing my whiteboard pics. It seems a lot friendlier than dropping a chapter every now and again with no accompanying explanation.

Here’s from The End Times:

The Armada of the Zerlking. I kind of picture an Invader Zim-type claw ship and that same attitude of “Mine!” The baddies claim everything in the universe in the name of the Zerlking.

For the hop, most people asked for f/m story, so I’m getting that one ready first. Here’s an excerpt:

Driven by the beat-heavy music, Tara was panicking. She stared at her reflection in the broad bathroom mirror. She’d screwed up her makeup, and the stuff she’d used didn’t want to be washed off. Her skin had a definite orange hue even after facial scrubbing three times.

“My god, I’m hideous!” She patted her skin dry with a washcloth and smoothed on some lotion.

There was a tug against her pant leg and she looked down at Scrappy-Doo, her sister’s chihuahua-terrier mixed breed. He barked at her, a single demand. She glared back at him. “Mind yourself, little dog. Go eat your food. And stop pouting. It makes you look pathetic.”

He whined a little, but spun around three times before lying on the floor, his chin resting on her slipper. He was so small she couldn’t even feel him on her foot.

“Stupid dog,” she muttered fondly. Looking at him had given her something else to focus on and she could feel some of the tension releasing from her shoulders. She’d have to remember to give him a snack before she left.

Tara drew in a deep breath and leaned forward to use the smaller, round beautician’s mirror she’d set up next to her makeup box. She had a lot of work to do and not much time to do it in.

Tonight was her anniversary with Edgar. They’d been going out for a year and he’d promised her a night of romance. They had reservations at the best restaurant in town and tickets to a musical theater show. She’d been excited for weeks.

Season 5 of The Venture Bros is coming out March 4, 2014 on DVD and Blu-Ray. I’ve gotta scrape up some bones to buy my copy. I love this show.
