The hurt that Alex felt was buried deep inside, locked away and forgotten. Like a piece of shrapnel that slices through its unintended victim, the injury could never be undone.This will be for the as yet untitled female heroine (Alex) novel.
She was damaged goods. That is the way she was treated as a child and that, too, could never be undone. The hate she felt for her father welled up like a toilet about to overflow. Full of filth and turbulence, there was no stopping it.
My friend Gayle has a handy-dandy word count on her blog that is WAY ahead of where I am, but I thought it was a great idea, so I thought I'd do it too. Hats off to you Gayle!

you are a great writer!
Hi Penny!!!! It has been at least a year or two since I've last seen your blog. It is SO beautiful and artistic!!!! I can't believe how much more artistically expressive you've become over the years. Congrats!
The writing sounds great as well. I'm working on a novel also, which was based in part on some work I've been doing with a life coach here in CA, and in part on some dreams I've had which sparked a story idea that I can't wait to tell. I would love to share some thoughts on writing with you, but will send you an e-mail rather than clog up your blog. I am so glad you reminded me of the blog, I guess I am still stuck in the 20th century and miss your Thoughts e-mails :) Take care honey, love and hugs to you--write on, sister!!!! Love, wen :)
