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. She took a deep breath, and took a step forward, waiting for the inevitable buckling of her leg and painful collapse to the floor. But it didn't happen because the metal contraption held her foot in place. There she was, with one foot in front of the other, without falling.
Her middle brother shouted, "Molly Molly, you took a step! You took a step!" He ran off yelling it through the yard. She gulped, and put weight on that leg. It held.

A heart-warming moment. Especially because I know a Molly who needs braces to walk. :-)

Your participation in National Novel Writing Month was a huge help! By the way, the story that you wrote above bizarres me a lot. I don't know if I will be happy with the ending of the story since it's really short, but I know that you wouldn't totally end that statement that way. I am pretty sure that there's a continuation that you are going to post so that stuff kind of excites me a lot! What I know is Molly is making a huge progress in her life!
