Well, let's see if this works...

.
As livejournal appears to be actually letting me in for a few minutes I thought I'd go ahead and try to do this week's check-in post.

How's it going? Yeah, I know, you've already finished and are now lounging about eating bon bons while scantily clad cabana attendants (are there any other kind?) fan you with large palm fronds. I'm psychic, right? Right! :D

So, would you like to share some of your work with us? How about, say, a three to five sentence long sample? Something to whet your readers' appetites?

And I don't mean to exclude our artists but I do understand that it's tougher to share your work without giving the whole game away. Still, if you'd like to share something I'm sure we'd love to see it.

Oh, and of course if you'd just like to say hi and/or a few words about how things are going, that's great too.

Let's see if I can actually post! Here's a bit from the middle of my story. I'm having trouble getting time to write with the child around, but I try--it will get finished in time!

(Doyle)"Farook didn't even mention his mother getting accosted at Harrods. Mind you, he has mostly sisters, I think he prefers spending time with his da."

"Not something either of us can relate to." Bodie winced, how did they end up going over such morose history this evening?

"My dad had many a fine quality!" Doyle said hotly, glaring at Bodie.

"You just didn't see them very often between pints?" Bodie poked just a little deeper, even knowing that he'd end up sleeping alone on the couch at this rate. He wasn't gratified to see Doyle flush with anger.

"That's enough, Bodie. You didn't know Liam Doyle, so don't…"

Bodie just can't resist poking at Doyle until he snaps, can he - even when he knows it's going to mean a cold and uncomfortable night on the couch. *g*

Luckily, Doyle doesn't retaliate!

That's very lucky for Bodie! *g*

I hadn't originally intended to include their childhoods, but somehow, it snuck in. ;-)

This is torture! Reading all these tempting snippets and having to wait so long for the rest!!

I know! Also, being the kid in school who used to finish my projects first, I am tortured because my story isn't done yet. Maybe change that to jealous of the authors who are finished writing. lol
