Forgive me for not getting this up yesterday. I was in the process of extirpating all of my insides via my throat and couldn’t find time to remove myself from the bathroom and make it into the computer room. And speaking of feeling as if you are going to die all day, we have another sticky from After Ancient! Conveniently from the part of the story where Lizzie tries to die (and yes, she does try to extirpate her insides as well, starting with her lungs – she has TB). And as you can see, even when I’m writing the stickies, which are the first first draft, I still decide to edit a bit on the way, finding better words to use and making sure to not confuse people with random “she”s that don’t point to any particular character. By the end of the scene Meara has finally come around to prayer, although she’s screaming it, and I won’t tell you if her prayers are answered or not. For that you’re going to have to read the new excerpt up on www.stickynotestories.com 🙂
