So, this isn’t very different from my normal blogs but here is an excerpt from my novel that I stop writing a while ago. Many doing this will give me inspiration to pick it up again and finish it. The title is a work in progress.
Excerpt from “High School Mafia”
She grabbed them by their arms and pulled them downstairs to the kitchen. As they step into the kitchen, they are greeted by a serene and inviting atmosphere created by the captivating blue and gray color scheme. The walls are painted pale gray, providing a neutral canvas for the play of colors. The gentle blue accents are strategically woven throughout the space, bringing an understated vibrancy.
They are drawn to the heart of the room, a magnificent island that takes center stage. The island stands as a focal point, exuding elegance and functionality. Its base is a rich, slate-gray hue, grounding the space with a touch of sophistication. The countertop has an expansive slab of polished marble in a delicate blue shade reminiscent of calm ocean waters. The marble’s natural veins swirl gracefully, adding an artistic touch to the island’s surface. Standing behind the island is a tall man with long, straight hair up in a neat bun. He was wearing a light gray suit. “Πατερούλης, good morning!” Zera exclaimed to the man when she ran up and hugged him from behind.
He turned around and hugged her back “Καλημέρα, κοριτσάκι.” Mr. Tassi said to Zera. He kissed the top of her head. The family sat together at the table and just talked to each other. This tradition is something the family started when it was Sebastian’s first day of school and they do it every year, they sit together at breakfast and talk about any and everything. While they were talking a man ran into the kitchen, his hair was messy, and his suit had wrinkles like he just threw it on. “Sorry boss, but Rosi is here.” The man spoke out of breath.
Zera looked to her brother when she heard that name, Rosi is the mayor’s family name even though Srario was a very small town because of some problems in the past there have been a few mayors of course none of that is really important right now. Zera looks to her dad then to her brother “Basty what going on?” She asked him, her face frowning up. Sebastion gave her a gentle smile and patted her head. He looked at the twins and nodded his head towards them. “Come on ladybug we have to get to school early.” Jonas said as he got up pulling Lucas with him.

3)κοριτσάκι– My little girl
What a neat looking kitchen! Your descriptions will taste wonderful in my soup.
I thought the use of the actual Greek language was neat. And I liked the vivid imagery you used to describe the kitchen.
“The countertop has an expansive slab of polished marble in a delicate blue shade reminiscent of calm ocean waters. The marble’s natural veins swirl gracefully, adding an artistic touch to the island’s surface.” I really could see the image here; it gave great detail.
I also liked were you ended the excerpt; it was sweet after the conflict you hinted towards.
