NaNoWriMo 2011: a glimpse of the first 6,000

I decided since I can't really string along anything important enough sounding of a blog post for you guys to read, since it IS NaNo time. I decided I'd share with you a small portion of my novel from the first 6,000 (I haven't quite made it there yet, but I'm rounding up, I'm at 5,837 words currently).  Feel free to comment what you think and stuff like that.

Also, this is unedited. Just "word vomit" as I read in a comment earlier today in the forums on the NaNo site.


           Sam and Dae were pretty close siblings considering how much their father favored Dae and their mother favored Sam, many people thought that the favoritism would eventually tear the siblings apart. But it hadn’t, or at least not yet.  Sam Schneider standing tall at six feet and three inches towered over both Dae and their father. He was by far the most athletic out of the Schneider family, he was on the school swimming, basketball and soccer teams for his entire high school career and continued on playing soccer in college at New York University.  The only thing that really resembled his father was his ability to argue on anything and stand behind his beliefs and research.  Although he never debated, Sam was a genius when it came to finding the truth out about something and could plan a strategy that no one could understand or see coming at them.  Sam was what his father called “lawyer material” but still wanted to be proved that he had it in him.


            “What are you doing tonight?” Sam asked as he walked through Dae’s open bedroom door and shut it behind him before making his way over to sit on a pile of neatly stacked clothes on her bed.  He watched her from her bed as she started replacing things in her room and pulling a few things out of her suit cases they used to pack her things up from school.

            “Probably meeting up with the others in the City to celebrate before all hell breaks loose." Dae responded as she placed a photo frame with her and Brooke at a boutique in Paris from two summers ago.  Letting out a sigh she turned to face Sam, “Why? What’s up your sleeve?” She questioned with a sly grin beginning to slide onto her face.

Today was awesome because: I received  my piano book in the mail today.
