Welcome to Six Sentences on Sunday!
This excerpt is taken from Chapter 12 of my book, Tenderfoot.
We were way over the speed limit. There weren’t many cars on the road this early. The engine hummed as we moved along, fluidly changing lanes. I could feel Nick’s foot making tiny adjustments on the accelerator.
“You know the speed here is sixty-five miles per hour?”
“Some rules don’t apply to me.”

And one final piece of artwork, providing by my other daughter, who wanted to have her artwork on the internet:

I wonder what other rules don’t apply to him!
I purposely wrote Nick so that not all rules apply to him. I highly recommend enabling a character like that in your writing. It’s awfully fun.
Talk about attitiude. He sure has one.
well, of COURSE he’s going to be pushing that drool-worthy car to its limits! …can I change places with her? …just for the car ride? Or better yet, can I drive?!?!
