I present to you Eight Sentence Sunday, a blog hop hosted by Weekend Writing Warriors. I finished National Novel Writing Month in November, so you'll be seeing parts from that for the next couple of months as I expand and edit the rough draft.






A while later she was on the other side of town, knocking on Lorenzo Baldocinetti's door. The sign above the door said "Inventor." Pages from the local printing press were plastered on the window for all to see and read. Only one new one since last week, and it just looked like an ad for hiring new experts to help on the latest invention.

"Looks like an alchemist, circus performer, young man to work hard, and a smart child."

Sounded like a riddle. Must be something Lorenzo put together himself.

The door opened and the hunched man smiled. "I was hoping you'd show up today."

I read that and thought 'Wha?' I'm hoping the next few weeks will fill in the blanks for me.

And does this person entering meet the criteria for the new ad? Should be an interesting answer to the riddle! :-)

I'm trying to figure out what type of book you're writing. At the moment I wonder about either supernatural or horror, but I'm not sure.
