I can hardly believe we are finishing week 5 of this challenge. Although, I guess it is not so much when you realize that we are barely over a third of the way through 100 days. Wow. Long challenge. But I am loving the results.
Enough chit-chat. Here are some of my snippets from this week of the 100 for 100 Challenge at GoTeenWriters.

breezed in. He went straight to her and
wrapped his arms around her waist, planting a kiss on her cheek.
She laughed. “You are in a
good mood,” she said. “Does your last
day at work before a vacation do that for you?”“No, but I’m feeling spontaneous,” he said.
“Spontaneous? Lord help us all,” she said, trying to squeeze past him with her hand full of utensils.
"...and, besides that, you won’t have anything to fear but bears at
Mardove.”
