Athene19's novel-in-progress for the NaNoWriMo 2004. First, I would like to dedicate this novel to Pete and Geoff of Virgin Radio 105.8. For not only giving me the incentive to get up every morning and drive to work, but also for playing Hoobastank at the exact moment I was trying to think of the perfect song to compliment my narrative. Thank guys! You are the best! I would also like to extend my thanks to Melissa Hensley-Cohen. For introducing me to the NaNoWriMo competition, and to Jenny Mathis. For se...

Samantha: Chapter VIII
http://nano2004samantha.blogspot.com/2004/11/chapter-viii.html
Athene19's novel-in-progress for the NaNoWriMo 2004. Hello, Clarke Catering and Co, Cleo speaking. Yes, may I help you? Yeah, I'm trying to get hold of Colin and Catherine Clarke. I'm afraid they're unavailable at the moment, can I take a message? Samantha sighed. Look, it's about the Daniels and Marsters wedding and I need confirmation from them that everything I sent to them on the order form went through okay. A wedding function, yes? Yes, the Daniels and Marsters wedding. And Masters as in. Okay, wel...

Samantha: Chapter I
http://nano2004samantha.blogspot.com/2004/11/chapter-i.html
Athene19's novel-in-progress for the NaNoWriMo 2004. As she opened the refrigerator, the light beamed out and she flinched. Squinting through the light, Samantha studied the contents before sticking her head into the refrigerator and pulling out a carton of orange juice. She took a glass from the drainer and poured into it the remainder of the carton’s contents. She then shut the refrigerator door and leant against it, sipping her drink and taking in her surroundings. Where on earth would Pete sleep?

Samantha: Chapter XIII
http://nano2004samantha.blogspot.com/2004/11/chapter-xiii.html
Athene19's novel-in-progress for the NaNoWriMo 2004. One week later, Samantha found herself sitting in the doctor's waiting room. She'd booked up an appointment to see the in-house nurse for a pregnancy test as she didn't trust the over the counter predictors and everything had appeared to be fairly routine. Now she was sitting there very nervously, waiting for her name to be called so she could find out the results. Why would they paint the surgery in taupe? Just hit me," Samantha replied. I have to say...

Samantha: Chapter XII
http://nano2004samantha.blogspot.com/2004/11/chapter-xii.html
Athene19's novel-in-progress for the NaNoWriMo 2004. The phone was ringing as Samantha let herself in after a day at work. She called out. No reply. She slammed the door shut and picked up the phone mid-ring, not even pausing to put her bag down. Samantha said into the receiver. Hey, it's Lauren! How have you been? Look, would you just hold on a sec? Samantha asked. "I was just coming through the door and I haven't even got my coat off.". Wedding plans still being a bother? What did Pete say about it?

Samantha: Chapter II
http://nano2004samantha.blogspot.com/2004/11/chapter-ii.html
Athene19's novel-in-progress for the NaNoWriMo 2004. Samantha woke to find the harsh light of the morning sun glaring through the windows. Rise and shine, sweetie, Stuart called out cheerily, breezing through the room and whipping the curtains open. Ugh, Samantha groaned, smacking her hand over her eyes. Are you always gonna be this cheerful in the morning? And are you ever gonna knock? We'll come to that later. Breakfast? Did you say you wanted omelette, Sam? No, came the muffled reply. Hey, he said, ha...

Samantha: Chapter X
http://nano2004samantha.blogspot.com/2004/11/chapter-x.html
Athene19's novel-in-progress for the NaNoWriMo 2004. I shouldn't feel guilty. After all, he could have put his foot down and had at least one day off from work, especially over one of the Christmas weekends. But he had chosen to stay in Newcastle and not insist on a day's break. She rinsed off and towel dried herself, sprinkling a little talcum powder all over, and then wrapping her hair in a towel and brushing her teeth. I want to feel good and break away from everything. She thought to herself,. Bang o...

Samantha: Chapter V
http://nano2004samantha.blogspot.com/2004/11/chapter-v.html
Athene19's novel-in-progress for the NaNoWriMo 2004. Samantha was now tackling the wedding list that she and Pete had decided to set up. They wanted it ready and waiting before the invitations went out so Samantha was now rushing through it all. The invites will be going out Friday afternoon, Pete had said during his last phone call, so I need you to finalise the list before then. Not good, Samantha said, not taking her eyes off the screen. Do you think this colour is too intense? Oh it's not too far fro...

Samantha: Chapter III
http://nano2004samantha.blogspot.com/2004/11/chapter-iii.html
Athene19's novel-in-progress for the NaNoWriMo 2004. Amy was already in. When Samantha arrived. She waved Samantha to their usual table in the left corner by the till. It was quiet there and they could observe the customers without being imposed upon themselves. Was cosy, warm, and smelt of freshly baked bread. The tables were closely set and covered in heavy linen tablecloths. The counter was spread along the length of the shop and had all Samantha's favourite cakes on display. Nope, about ten minutes.
