Book Update #6 - A Small Preview

I just started SECTION THREE of THE BOOK.

Current word count: 32,626.

I knew what I wanted to do, generally speaking, with section three, but I was not sure how to go about it.  I sat around thinking about it all day yesterday.  I’d like to say that is why I was in a shitty mood, but that would be lying.  It had to do with some idiot I dealt with at work.

Anyways, I started the third section this evening.  I am so satisfied with it.  I offered up an awesome transitional section to a part of the book I was dreading.  There is one more section in the book where I have a feeling this is going to happen, but I will deal with that when it happens.

I originally said I would not do this, but I have changed my mind and decided to include a small section from my book.  It does not give anything away.  I am certain a lot of you who actually know me (personally or just kind off) have an idea what my book is about.  You are probably wrong.  Whatever, here you go:

When [he] woke up, she was gone.  [His] door had been closed all night, and she had been nice enough to re-close it when she left.  [He] could tell fresh air hadn’t been let in for hours because it was muggy with the stench of cheap, satisfied desire in [his] non-air-conditioned room.  The sun had risen hours ago, and the heat was pouring into the curtain-less room.  It smelled sweet from the alcohol [they] had secreted.  Or the alcohol [he] had secreted.  [He] was not sure if she had been drinking.  [He] barely saw her the night before.
 
It was Saturday.  It was the dead of Summer.  [He] had just been used.  [He] was a sex toy with a heartbeat.
 
And that was the most satisfying part.

I may provide more snippets in future updates, depending on whether I think it will compromise anything.  We’ll see.
