But today, not only did I finish a rewrite but I did a writing exercise too! Feels good. It might only last a day or two until I get it back from my reader, but I'll take it and savor it.
Here is the exercise again used with the handy dandy random word selector.
I think this came about from two sources: I was watching an episode of Dr. Thorne (set in the British countryside 1855) and remembering Little House on the Prairie. Basically, inspired by Dr. Thorne and influenced by Little House. How? I have no idea.
Words: projection,
empire, disrupt, examiner
The examiner examined the exam.
“That’s a horrible sentence, Daisy,”
Darla said.
“How about this one then? The
projector projected the projection.” Daisy smiled.
“Ha ha, very NOT funny.” Darla used
the eraser on the blackboard. “If you’re not going to take our punishment
seriously, I’ll write the sentences.” Darla snatched the chalk from Daisy’s
white powdered fingers.
“Be my guest.” Daisy sat down and
pulled a book from her satchel.
“If you hadn’t disrupted the class,
we would be at Catherine’s party right now.”
Darla
pouted and Daisy stuck her tongue out at her.
“The
Darla Popularity Empire will not fall because you miss one silly party.”
“Daisy!
It’s not silly. It’s very important to me. I would think as my sister, you
would be my ally and it would be important to you too.” Darla sniffled.
“All
right.” Daisy pulled Darla’s ringlet and let it spring back. “Go to your important party and I will finish writing
on the board.
Darla
turned with sheer glee. "Oh, Daisy, would you? I would be ever in your debt.”
She dropped the chalk in Daisy’s palm.
“Yes,
yes, now go.” Daisy began to write.
“Don’t
forget I owe you one.” Darla was gone.
Daisy
grinned slowly. “That’s what I’m counting on dear sister, that’s what I’m
counting on.”
