Mom Writers Novel Challeng
For the first assignment we are supposed to give a summary of our novel in two sentences & less than fifty words. This proves to be much harder than it sounds. I spent a couple of hours on that last night and still am not happy with what I have:
The Brittany family moves to Dearth Farm looking for a happier life, but what they find is that nothing seems to live there. They find two dead bodies hidden on the property, and then their small daughter gets sick so they must figure out what plagues the land or leave.
Next step:
The six step plot.
Tune in tomorrow!
In the meantime...
