Literature Text

she grew wiser and the lines in her skin were etched in harder, far too heavy for her gossamer skin.
but she grew older and the pains of womanly were never quite as torturous as she remembered from her youth.
the gods grew kinder and the storm behind her belly button grew quieter, and less monstrous.
her bones were no longer carved out of what felt like styrofoam, they grew darker and stronger and she learned that the ocean isn't always for drowning in.

and that salt water is the cure all;
sweat tears and the rolling ocean.
snippet from my nanowrimo.

This doesnt seem like an excerpt--it feels more like the whole story itself, its so complete. I love that you got teh character adn emotion of a 50000 word novel across in this one small part. Its gorgeous and I can only imagine how the entire nanowrimo submission will be!
