Excerpt
Ellison heard the wagons before he could see them, grumbling and clanking over the ruts in the gravel roads by the factory and making a nice tick-tick, tick-tick on the cobbles of Main Street. He stood, craning his neck. The dull windows of the old cheese shop and the empty display cases of the shuttered Nautical Museum remained untroubled, refusing to rattle at the approaching brigade.
Finally, Jeremy Turner appeared at the corner of Spruce and Main, dragging his shiny red Radio Flyer behind him.
“Hello!” he called to the shopkeeper. “Will you really give us candy if we help?”

Writing Description
Geared towards young adults and children. Hopefully accessible to anyone who can stomach occasionally being reminded of what it was like to be in high school.
Goals
During the Write-a-thon, I plan to write 4,000 words a week, send out three stories for publication, and edit the first three chapters of a novel draft. Even though I'm not at CW this year, I'm still a student with free summers!
