Okay, sent my hook

Sent in my hook for Belladonna Dreams to raleva31. I used the excellent hook that jmeadows wrote for me as a starting point, but since the book has changed since she helped me with it, I had to tweak it. Here's what I sent in:

URBAN FANTASY/Belladonna Dreams: Sapph Pendragon was one of the top ghostwalkers in the business. Then business killed four of her closest friends. When another member of her former team calls for help, though, Sapph comes out of retirement to once again wrestle with the demons of her past. What she discovers at Crosley Farms is two ghosts hell-bent on coming back from death, bringing the secrets of immortality and damnation with them. If the ghosts succeed in breaking through the World Walls, Crosley Farms will be cut off from both the Ghostlands and the mortal world, trapping Sapph and everyone with her inside. To keep the farm and her friends safe, Sapph must risk everything, including her own sanity, to meld with Rose Howard, a long-dead witch. Only the combination of her psychic talents and Rose’s magic can keep Crosley Farms from becoming her permanent home. But can she trust Rose? Or will the witch turn on her as well?

Anyone else send their's in?

( Yeah, )

Word counts from the past two days.

Well, two writing days, anyways. Combined my word goal, since I didn't post from Sunday.

Word Goal for the day: 1500 - made 1704

Starting line: The problem was that the diary was…odd. Almost fragmented, as if there were other things that hiding beneath the surface of the page that I couldn’t quite see yet.

Ending line: I couldn’t believe I was having this conversation.

Darling: It was a storm. A literal hurricane of madness, light and sound, buffeting me from all angles. And then darkness fell, and I fell with it.

This cold is kicking my ass, but it's made for some fun writing. I'm not sure the conversation I just wrote will remain, but it was definitely enjoyable to write. Now I'm off to bed to try and sleep (thank you, NyQuil!) before a busy day tomorrow.

Oh, and I got all the little bags cut out and machine-stitched, and got 7 finished off and strung. I'll bring a couple tomorrow to show my autocrat. Hopefully she'll like them.

Lots to do tomorrow. See you all later!
