1. Maxwell effortlessly crawled on top of his changing
table. “Watch this!” He yelled as he jumped routinely onto the floor, avoiding
any Paw Patrol figurines that covered it. Within five seconds, he was already
in position for his next attempt. “Catch me now!” Before I could get ready for
his flight, he was already in the air. I stumbled forward to catch him before
he landed on the ground.
2. “Okay, guess who’s in my algebra class?” Rebekkah sprinted
through the front door, and without even attempting to slow down, she began
again, “Amanda! She even tried to talk to me. Apparently, she forgot that we
weren’t friends anymore.” They had an on-off friendship since fourth grade—middle
school did nothing to help remedy their friendship.
3. The aroma of wet dog filled the white Honda after a
recent lake trip. Nothing could separate Laura from her German shepherd “Gabbilious”
(or who everyone else referred to as Gabby). She had always told everyone that
no dogs would be allowed in the house because of the hair—it all changed with
Gabby. Soon dog hair started appearing in the bed, which surprised us all, as
Gabby was Laura’s fourth dog.
Your first example is such a classic example of the everyday life of a toddler. Your second one brings back some of my memories of the drama of middle school. All were realistic portrayals that I could easily picture.

ReplyDeleteI like the different scenes you incorporated in your character sketches. Each feels like there is an entire story that could be written about the person.
