I present to you Eight Sentence Sunday, a blog hop hosted by Weekend Writing Warriors. I just finished participating in National Novel Writing Month, so you'll be seeing parts from that for the next couple of weeks/month as I expand and edit. "Alright Molly, I know you've been waiting for this day for a long time." She was looking at her mothers face, surrounded by long curly blonde hair, as she bounced a new child on her hip. Was that number five, or six? "We brought in a special doctor from the city who says he can help you walk again." "I told you I can walk whenever I want, I just need to practice." "He has experience with this kind of thing. Your muscles need to be strengthened slowly." "Yes I know, I've been trying to tell you to let me out of bed for weeks. I feel too weak and I know that I need to get over it."

It sounds like they want the same thing but are going about it in different directions. I hope they can work together!
