Im trying lol! Love ya all. And tell me what you think! Be good now :)
"Are you crazy!”
Courtney turned to face her friend, and mentally prepared herself for the tirade that was sure to follow. “What’s wrong Rach?”
“You’re going to waltz off to Africa, and still have the guts to ask me what’s wrong?” She flung her car keys on the table, and pulled her sun glasses off. “Court, do you realize how much pain you are putting everyone through?”
“This is what I have always wanted to do Rachel!“ Courtney ran a shaky hand through her ash blonde hair, and tucked a strand behind one ear. “You know that I’ve always wanted to be a missionary.”
“Yeah, but not by yourself!” Rachel grabbed Courtney’s arm and propelled her towards the couch. “What are you thinking? Going on a whim again, trying to get yourself killed?”
“Ha, very funny!” Courtney playfully punched her friend on the arm, “Come on Rachel! You need to settle down, everything’s gonna be fine.”
“Right.” Rachel shifted on the couch, and pulled on the sleeve of her striped shirt. “That’s easy for you to say. I’m the one who has to sit here and wait for you come home.” '
To be continued ..... lol :)

Hey, what are you talking about it? I like it, and can't wait to read more if you decide to post the rest ;0 Is this going to be a short story or something longer?
I'm planning on doing a story about a missionary, too. Once I finish the novel I'm doing right now, I'm going to start a new novel about a missionary kid to Romania, of course ;) Basically my life through another character's eyes. But yeah, first I have to finish my current novel. LOL. Love you <3
That was great,Sarah!
I have been reading your blog for a little while now but I don't think I have ever commented.
I don't understand what you mean when you say you aren't a good writer. I can see some great potential in what you just wrote!
I hope you post more...I want to know what happens!
I could see your characters really well, too! I loved how she threw the keys onto the counter. That was great imagery. I could tell from the way you wrote her character that she didn't do this out of frustration but out of habit. Good job!
If you don't feel confident in your writing... It might be a good idea to read "Writing Magic" by: Gail Carson Levine.
I was in a writing flop for two years where I pretty much didn't write anything.
After reading the first couple of pages in Levine's book, she had me dying to write. Maybe it would help you have more confidence in the abilities that I can already see you have!
Keep up the good work!
God Bless!
