Here are two of my...Thank you for the helpful post! Here are two of my chapter endings (towards the ending):<br /> Marie motioned me toward her. "Come her!" she hissed.<br /> I walked toward her. "What did you find out? What's the scheme?" I asked frightened, but eagerly. <br /> Marie wrung her hands. "It's a little unbelievable..."<br /> "Tell me!" I snapped.<br /> "Their scheme is... Mind control," she said.<br /> *************************************************************************<br /> I followed Darin toward an alley way. He must be meeting up with his friends, I thought, To plan mind control.<br /> I leaned against a brick building, trying to catch what they were saying. <br /> "We should pin a meddle on you, Darin," a voice said. "I can't believe you knocked that Amy girl off our tracks!"<br /> I smiled inwardly. His "great" plan didn't work.<br /> I edged my way closer toward the gang of lawbreakers, trying to hear better. A leaf crunched under my foot.<br /> "Who's there?" Darin roared.<br /> I made a run for it. <br />Heavy footsteps followed behind me and Darin grabbed my shoulders.<br />Panic seared through me. My worst fear had happened: Kidnappers.<br />It suggests to be dark, but I have loved plotting it. It's a thriller-mystery. I find there aren't enough of those. This is my first draft, so expect mistakes. <br />☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺Eleanor Marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-26560810148867319562016-05-26T08:40:55.272-05:002016-05-26T08:40:55.272-05:00Wow, sounds very interesting! ☺Wow, sounds very interesting! ☺Giselanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-44041239989524456262016-05-25T16:34:21.114-05:002016-05-25T16:34:21.114-05:00These sound great!

But here's a piece that's right now the end of a scene: <br />“We've found it,” I repeated. “Saxen and I. We've found the marker that causes you to change, the switch, so to speak, and even better,” I paused a split second for dramatic effect but got going pretty quickly as we <i>did</i> have a psychopathic wizard dude chasing us, “we've found out how you'll control them.”<br /> Everyone leaned forwards, and Char asked. “All of that at once?”<br /> “Well, unsurprisingly, it was all in the same place,” Saxen said. “But yes. We've found it all.”<br /><br /><br />Alexa<br />thessalexa.blogspot.com<br />verbosityreviews.comAlexa Mintahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865586987033390255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-89893615651766009392016-05-20T20:17:09.369-05:002016-05-20T20:17:09.369-05:00Thank you for the comments everyone!
