A Note from Camp

A little excerpt from my Camp NaNoWriMo story.

WARNING: EXTREMELY ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES, FIRST DRAFT, WRITTEN QUICKLY, AND NOT REVISED

(Yes, another homeschool family story. Hey, you know what they say: "Write what you know"!)

    "Pile out!" said Dad. "It's time to get us a Christmas tree!"

    Pile out they did, much to the amusement of the couple who owned the tree farm. "Welcome back to the clown car," Mom whispered to Alex with a wink. He grinned. It was so good to have him back home. But he was a head taller than the other children; he stood out. Carrie thought, It's like now we're not just all The Miner Family, but more like The Miner Family Plus Alex Miner. He's not trying to be, but he is sort of separate somehow.     Life had no trouble being so wonderfully complex. Why was it so hard to create complexity in a story?

(c) by me. Who knows if it'll amount to much of anything, but I did write this. ;) And it is fun.
