What Page Seventeen Looks Like

I'm posting this for shits and grins. I hope everyone had a good first Nano day! This is what page seventeen looks like (written about hour six or so). I'm going for another 4k today (if the boss is out)

Swear ‘ta Gawd he did it because he knew it lit my ass up. I chrewed on a couple of greasy fries, tehn studied my watch, making him wait for my response. “About thirty more minutes. Why? What’cha got in mind?” Smiling innocently, I sipped at my iced tea and watched the wind ruffle Cash’s hair.
He smoothed his fingers donw his chin,w hich was clean-shaven, and shrugged, turning his attention back to his lunch. Once he was done and stood up to throw his trash away, I tried again. “SO what’s for dinner, Boss.”

He ignored me, until he came back that is. “Graciellas.”

I whistled appreciatively. Graceillas was the best Mexican food in Galvestone.

“Interested?”

“You mea, like a date?” I stood up, piling my own trash on my tray.

“No. I just don’t like eating alone. And you’re the only person I know around here besides Reece.”

“And James.” Giggling I jabbed a free thumb to where he sta still talking on the phone.

I can sure see the diamond in the rough, though :)!

I admit, seeing this makes me realize one of the reasons I'm so slow. I can't leave typos on the page as I write. I have to, HAVE to fix them right then and there or they distract me from moving on.

Thanks for sharing, QB.

But I'm with Jackie, typos drive me nuts! I can't stand those red or green lines beneath my writing. It drives me insane!

:D
