I broke out a childrens story I wrote more than a year ago and started messing with it again. I was surprised it didn't need more editing and I only changed a little bit to make it flow better and changed some of the action a bit. What I have so far is pretty much an introduction of characters and would make a good first chapter. No further ideas come to mind immediately but I do intend to work on it more. Last year I also did some character sketches and the beginnings of rough illustrations. So I decided to revisit it a bit more and came up with this for a scene where a wolf is trying to pick up the protagonist's grandmother and she's having none of it. He's a real wolf, that wolf. Here are a few paragraphs from the piece.
When she got there her grandmother was in the big room that smelled like soup where the old squirrels played pinochle. There was a big wolf bothering her. He had his hair slicked back with greasy kid’s stuff and was wearing a white t-shirt with blue jeans that hung way too low under his pot belly.
“C’mon Lulu,” the wolf said, “It’s not like you’re going steady with anyone. Why won’t you come to the bingo palace with me on Saturday?”
“Leave me alone, you old wolf,” Scarlet’s grandma said, “I know your ways!”
