There I was driving down the road of Nebraska State
with my mother as I could feel the increased lumps and bumps of the road beginning
to rock the car. I became annoyed at the feeling as I began placing my ear buds
in my ears while listening to David Harley. Maybe this could set the mood or at
least save me from this bordum ride to our new home. This was pathetic I
thought in my head as my mother continued to drive the road to our new home. We
had been on the road all the way from California to now Nebraska, since my
mother had landed a better job offering here in Nebraska this meant a new home
for me. But why Nebraska? I pondered in my brain. Why not Florida? At least Florida
and California had a beach unlike here. Nebraska was just Nebraska. Once my
mother and I reached our destination we had landed upon a house that looked
like it had been two thousand years old. Vintage I suppose, I thought as I
looked up at the windows, while on the outside of the house it was built of
brown ginger brick. Big but not huge. My mother greeted the realtor with an open
smile as I could already tell by the expression on her face she already loved
the house while I on the other hand despised it.
“This is what we’re going to be living in?” I asked
my mother, as I began to take my ear buds out of my ears, while she also
grinned at me.
“Haley sweetie it’s not so bad, give it a chance.
I’m sure in time you’ll learn to love it.” She said as she swiftly ran her
hands on my head as my Blond hair slightly blew through the wind. TO BE

Hey!! This was a very short, imaginative and creative read! I really enjoyed it.
If I could offer the tiniest bit of advice, it would be to read back through this and check on some of the sentences that come off and run ons. Reading it to yourself will help you figure out where some of the breaks (i.e., commas, semicolons, periods etc...) need to go.
Loved, this can't wait to read more! Well done :)
It's a good start but I felt that, at the moment, it's a bit monotonous so, when you're writing the next part, you might want to work on incorporating some different senses and perhaps using different tones to give your writing more depth. I look forward to reading the next part of your book.
This was a very well written chapter with a lot of great imagery. I love the way you describe Haley and her frustrations with moving to Nebraska. It painted a very vivid picture in my head because I can totally relate to moving, bumpy roads and long drives. It's kinda ironic as a blind person that it paints a picture, but I can really picture your character and all the sights and feelings as if I was in the same situation. I felt that you did a great job capturing my attention and drawing the reader in. I'm anxious to see what happens next. Great job and keep up the good work! Just one thing I wondered about. I very well could be wrong about this, but maybe it might sound better if you say my mother landed a job in Nebraska instead of had landed. I could be wrong. I'm new at this writing thing myself, but just a thought. Thanks for sharing and keep writing!
Cheers,
