What up dudes and dudettes?
Oh, that's right – another year, another challenge, who's with me? Hopefully, you made progress with the drabbles. I know I enjoyed it, and it was good to explore my (many) characters with the challenge of 100 words only.
So, this one is a little less serious, and a different kind of challenge. I doubt I'm going to finish it in 2009, but I wanted to share it with all of you. There is no word limit, but I imagine most of the scenes I write for this will be short. However, don't limit yourselves! (Nevermind that I've gone absolutely nowhere with the Kisses series…) I think this one is going to be a lot of fun.
And one last reminder to check out my profile for some AMAZING artwork for my short story, Strong Enough… It was a Christmas gift to myself.

19)."You know what's a weird word? Fork." (Lucy's sophomore year)
"I never know what to say to him."
"Luce, he's just a dude, you know, we're kind of surrounded by them."
Sophomore Lucy Karate looked at her best friend in the section, and then across to where her super crush of the season, Brent, was sitting. Although she had no trouble talking to her classmates, section mates, or practically anyone else in the marching band, when push came to shove, she couldn't think of a single subject to talk to him about.
Molly rolled her eyes and growled, "Go over. Now. He's by himself."
Timidly, the brunette approached the upperclassmen table and sat down awkwardly next the cymbal player.
"Hey, Lucy," Brent's warm hazel eyes lit up.
Instead of responding with normal greetings and salutations, Lucy found herself blurting out, "You know what's a weird word? Fork."
