Teaser Tuesday
A little more of my WIP, Interior of a Heart. This is a literary YA I’m working on about a girl turned into an outcast in her town when she keeps a secret for her boyfriend, a soldier who has gone MIA in Afghanistan.

You never cease to amaze me with your writing. This is so full of emotion while having the stark sense of control on her father’s part. I assume he’s military. This is just beautiful!

Man, this is brilliant.
“Maybe if we both wish hard enough my skin will dissolve. I will be invisible with watery veins and glass bones. My translucent heart will beat on, but my father will not notice.
He only sees my mother in the spaces around me”
What more can I say?

I love those first couple of lines about sewing the mouth shut and not cheating on your hero boyfriend. Perfect.

This is amazing. Loved this bit: Maybe if we both wish hard enough my skin will dissolve. I will be invisible with watery veins and glass bones.
Great teaser!

Wow. Very powerful writing. And the ‘sir’ reminds me of a friend who had to call his dad that. Sigh, parents who care more about order than love.
“starching his backbone straight so he walks tall even in faded jeans and a worn Navy sweatshirt”
I would add the ‘so’ before straight. Gives it a nice flow imo, but up to you.
Great job!

This is brilliance! I so admire the way you describe things. I wish I could describe things half as well as you do. I loved the last few paragraphs, especially the one describing her room and the one about her skin melting. Loved it.
