Thanks Hope Roberson for passing this along!

Rules for the Magic 8 Ball Meme:1. Post the button and link to Jaycee deLorenzo (following would be nice, but not required). 

2.  Share an excerpt from your current WIP, perhaps something you're struggling with, are stuck on, or just can't "get right."  

3.  Ask a question about your excerpt.  It can be something easy such as "What do you think?" or something more in-depth, such as "Can you suggest a better way to word such-and-such," or "How can I make the emotions in this scene more realistic?"
                                                      
                                                      4.  Tag 8 people. 

While most of my scenes take place in the living world, I have a few scenes involving Afterlife. Here is one, where my MC, Mia is trying to redesign her Afterlife to fit her shifting mood. Her Afterlife starts at her grandfather's lake house and transforms to a nighttime city scape. Does this scene make sense? Does it offer strong enough imagery? Is it too much? Too little? Any feedback you all have would be great!


When I closed my eyes, the image came, and the world around me started to transform. I descended my grandfather’s dock as Oshkosh, Wisconsin disappeared behind me. The greenish blue of the lake darkened to a shadowy black. Like a shade being drawn, violet then midnight crept into the horizon. I walked steadily towards my grandfather’s house as it scattered into tiny sand particles caught in a windstorm. All around me, polished skyscrapers with silver windows rose like conquering giants from grass that shriveled back into a concrete sidewalk. The enormous rumbling should have been deafening, but just as the day turns to night, the transition was silent. The only sound amidst the chaos was the chiming of a rope against a flagpole until the last remnant of my grandfather’s dock broke apart and disappeared. When my new world settled, I was standing on my nighttime rooftop.

And now....
