Writing Wednesday

-

I would have done a wordless Wednesday but I haven't really taken any new pictures so I decided to do a writing Wednesday instead. In last weeks 7 Quick Takes Friday I had shared the first couple sentences of the story that I started writing as well as a revised example that a friend of mine did.

The only bright side, besides being able to come inside and warm up, was getting hot chocolate. --- 5 --- Since I couldn't think of anything else to write for this one I decided to share the first couple sentences of what I have written so far of my story let me know how you like it :) Standing under the only low-lit street lamp Xiomara looked both ways at the quiet street lit only by the light of the street lamps.
