Ask me anything (preferably in the replies or reblogs of this post) about Patience, Changing - the novel I'm currently outlining and planning to start seriously writing shortly.

The morning was bright and clear and beautiful, and Patience Shepherd was enraged. It was really too much. She was an only child, for goodness' sake, and suddenly she was going to have a sister. She didn't get an option. A baby she could have understood: but no, apparently the girl was only a couple of years younger, probably set in her ways. Patience was also set in her ways. She liked things to be how she liked them to be, and that did not include a child coming into her comfortable, predictable life. She stabbed at her knitting with too much force, having to draw back the needle and make the stitch again. That only increased her irritation. Didn't Mum and Dad know she was particular like this? Why were they doing this? Patience scowled blackly at the pale pink cardigan, became aware of how selfish she was sounding, and seethed.

This is a possible start to the novel, though I'm not 100% happy with it.
