This week our group writes to the word-box.    This will be an excerpt f ro m my new WIP for a new romance contemporary, What the Storm Didn't Take. Enjoy!~   My day brightened, even if I didn’t want to acknowledge it. “I’m okay, trying to eat this breakfast.” Observing my tray, he smiled. “You’re doing a great job. I’m happy to see your appetite perking up.” “I’m doing what I can to be a good patient.” “It’s all we can ask.” This wasn’t his usual schedule, hopefully he wasn’t there to deliver bad news. “It’s early in the day, what’s the morning visit about?” “Well, I was going through some of my storage containers and found something I think ...

Ahoy Fellow Fathomers! It's time for Tuesday Tales. A group of writers gather together and give our interpretation of a specific word prompt each week. Once per month, we even write to an image.  You never know what you might encounter when you get inside our minds. This week our group writes to the word- fasten.    This will be an excerpt f ro m my new WIP for a new romance contemporary, Steal My Heart.

I believed the town’s people shown in the series lacked a serious mourning for allegedly-deceased Will Byers.

I'm just a gigolo and everywhere I go People know the part, I'm playin' Paid for every dance, sellin' each romance Ooh, what they're sayin' There will come a day, and youth will pass away What'll they say about me?
