Hey all,
Not too bad of a schedule, one month for a chapter, not super fast, but at least I’m making headway.
This was a hard chapter, AG made it through the funeral and has been coming to grips with the fact that she is an orphan and truly alone in the world. Taking AG through this made me face some of my own memories of losing my parents, and believe me, it can be an emotional ride when you’re pulling those memories out to use for inspiration. There’s no getting back those you love once they’re gone and through this chapter AG is coming to terms with that.
In this chapter we also get to know Mordecai a little more, how he feels about earth and what he thinks of Candied Apples.
“AG stood alone in her mother’s kitchen, the voices of the guests drifting in through the door that remained open to the rest of the house. Around her the counters were covered with the remains of the food that had been supplied, as though food could fill the void that death created. She looked into the sink, the dishes piled in it, they would need to be rinsed, she thought. The cracks inside of her seemed to spread, but her eyes remained dry though a small part of her seemed to curl up like a small, lost child and sob. Behind the ice the pain waited, the grief trembled.” – Excerpt Chapter Six Angel’s Gate
I think it’s a pretty good, solid chapter and the rewrite is going at a good pace.
Until next time,
