Current works? This

Current works? This is the thread to talk about works in progress, ask for titles, share samples, etc. 

WHAT I'M DOIN' AT THE MOMENT (in case anyone cares): My family is insane. And I mean crazy. My (fraternal) grandma bit my mom the other day. We have all these quirky family stories, and I'm using them for a basis of a collection of short stories, about a girl in the almost-fictional-but-not-really-cause-it's-kinda-mine family. 

You?

Sorry to tell you, but my family's the weirdest. Even our rabbi said so when we were having a meeting about my sister's bat mitzvah. My grandfather lives in a cabin in the woods, my great-uncle just changed his name...stuff like that.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Lemme think of a good story. I'LL BE BACK!!

Why is living in a cabin so weird?

My family was pretty normal up until about eleven years ago... ;)

Has anyone in your family chopped down a basement door with an axe? Got into the wrong car and then forced the driver to take them home?

You'd understand if you knew us. I can't really describe it here though...some of it would gross you out.

Oh, boy, something crazy happened in the family yesterday. It was hilarious, but I really shouldn't say...

There's plenty weird about it, and I'd tell you more, but I'd be a lousy granddaughter.

You're taking this PRETTY seriously. However, to defend my family's weirdness, I must retaliate. I will tomorrow, though, as I am exhausted. *yawn*. Hey, I just yawned when I typed it. Funny.

My name isn't actually Keira, it's my HP roleplay character's name. I entered it here by accident.

My name's Lyra (Lee-ra not Lie-ra.)

Uhhh, since I have a boringly normal family, I'll talk about works in progress.

In progress is a story about a girl who basically gets sold into slavery and has to find her way back home. It was originally a story that I was going to submit for the monthly contest several years ago (the one where they told you to write a story about one of the places on the map on the cover), but it grew way beyond the 200-word limit. And I kept coming up with more stuff to add, and now it's almost a full-length (though short) novel. And I'm thinking about writing two more, but don't have any more than a general idea what will happen in them.

Anyway, since it's waaay too long to post the whole thing, I won't. Wish I could though; you people give great critique.
