As the countdown began, she stood up, shaking.

She watched the number get lower and lower.
This is it, she told herself. As soon as that ball drops, you're leaving Will in the past.
The countdown passed the 30-second mark and continued to drop.

Today, I had my end-of-the-book crisis. It happens when I'm approaching the end of the book. Since the book will have to conclude soon, I have to figure exactly what needs to happen before the end of the book and in what order it will happen. And I can't keep writing until I have it set.
When I...
There was still so much she wanted to do in 2013, and so little time. All she could do in ten minutes were little things, like petting the cats, sending a few texts, pacing the staircases, or changing the channel to annoy people. She could run upstairs to ask the Magic 8 Ball one more question-...
Brooklyn stood up and went over to Aisling's dresser, picking up the Magic 8 Ball on top of it. She stared into the liquid at the floating cube-like figure.
"Will Aisling be awake within ten minutes?" she asked at her normal volume.
Concentrate and ask again.
"Will Aisling be awake within ten...
She excitedly climbed into the front seat, and her father started driving.
"How's school going?" he asked.
"Fine," Brooklyn responded. "We have a substitute math teacher this month. I still don't know whether or not I like her better."
"And how's Speech?"
"Okay, I guess." Brooklyn had mixed...
She needed to be set free, and the only way to do that was to apologize.
The one thing Brooklyn did not know how to do.
Trying to sincerely apologize never went well for Brooklyn. She often tried to avoid it. It always felt too awkward, and she was always reminded of what she had to apologize...
By the time dinner was over, it was still only 8 o'clock. Brooklyn had more than three hours on her hands, and she was already bored.
The cousins spread out, and Brooklyn wasn't sure where to go. While pacing the steps up and down she noticed a little area between the couch and the staircase...
Caleb went to the fridge.
"Where's the Dr. Pepper?" he shouted. He came back with a Sprite.
Brooklyn pushed her can closer to the exercise bike. Jonathan noticed.
"I don't really like Sprite," Brooklyn explained. "I mean, it's okay, but it either tastes plain or like lime. And I hate lime. Which...
Brooklyn was quite picky with numbers. She liked some better than others. Her favorites were 2, 4, 5, 6, 12, 17, 22, 29, and 42. Other numbers were okay, except for 3, or any number with a 3 in it.
She wanted the year to stay 2012. She liked the number 2012, because it had good numbers in it...

One way Brooklyn did not want to spend the last day of 2012 was in an Orthodontist's office. She hated the Orthodontist. All they did was steal thirty plus minutes from her every month- that amounted to over six hours a year- putting metal on her teeth that she always cut...

There are 365 days in a year... and 6 hours. Those six hours are only called to attention every four years when an extra day gets added to the calendar- February 29.
Brooklyn, a quiet girl with Asperger's Syndrome, is an expert on calendar patterns. At least, she used to be. She...
I came up with my idea for this story on February 29, 2016. I was thinking about how Leap Day is really just making up the last six hours of the previous four years, and then I got an idea to try writing a book based on my life that centered around New Year's and Leap Day. I had finished my...
