Not literally, since I'm not pregnant, nor do I plan on getting pregnant anytime in the near future. No the baby I'm refering to is the book I've been working on for about 7 weeks give or take. It's been a struggle to say the least. I ran into several brick walls, had to "study" for and take finals, and sometimes just didn't want to write, but I finished it. I'm not sure if it's even any good, but it's done.
Now onto the fun part EDITING!!! Yeah not really excited for it, but it has to be done. Plus now I can start on my next project, which I'm really excited for.
I don't have a name for it yet, but here is the first blurb from the book. Hope you enjoy it.
Chapter One
There was something about the beach that set Katy Ferris at ease. Whether it was the waves softly splashing, the soft sand against her skin, or the sound of squelching birds over the bay, she couldn’t pin point it. It had been one of her favorite places to go when she couldn’t handle home any longer. There was nothing more beautiful to her than a sunset over the black water.
She stared over the water, her hands shoved in the pockets of her skinny blue jeans. A slight breeze scuttled over the water, ruffling her loose brown curls. The beach was completely deserted, just the way she liked it. She replayed scenes over and over in her head. His smile in the sun, his laugh, the glint in his eyes-it was all imprinted in her mind like a tattoo.
“I thought I’d find you here.” She turned to the voice, wiping her tears away with the back of her hand. “Are you okay?”
“I don’t think so,” Katy sniffled, turning to her best friend, Molly. Without missing a beat Molly took her in a hug and let her cry. “I didn’t think it would be this hard.”
“Oh Katy, it will get better,” Molly soothed as she gently rubbed Katy’s back. “Funerals always suck.”
“Tell me about it,” Katy tried to laugh, pulling away from Molly. It sounded more like a choke and didn’t feel right to her. “I never thought this would happen. We were supposed to be together forever.”
