Sometimes It Just Writes Itself
Last night I was looking for a way out of a scene that was going on and on and on and ... you get the idea. Fortunately, TV sitcoms provided the answer.
“This town really BITES[,” Maya said. “]If we lived in PENDLETON, I could do the tests early and still do what I wanted in the evening.”
“The thrill of all-you-can-eat lime hospital Jell-O has faded?” Graham asked.
“Oh, barf.”
“Tell me about it,” Jacob said.
“No, really – I think I’m going to be sick,” Maya said and ran [...] into the kitchen.
Graham and Jacob stood in awkward silence, alone in the sitting room.
I cut a "sitting room" phrase out of the paragraph before last to balance out the insertion of a "Maya said" earlier in the excerpt.
