The Writer's Block - that group running the contest I'm going to enter my first chapter in - has some practice workouts. I want to be a better writer so I tried one.
I'm new at this whole Steemit thing, so I'm not sure I'm doing this right.
The assignment said:
PROMPT: 100-ish words of a phone /device conversation in third person limited. There must be some sort of conflict or emotional engagement.
MY ENTRY:
It had been twenty minutes since he'd heard from her. It was all he could do to stop himself throwing the phone across the room.
Larry: Are you going to answer me or not?
Five minutes, ten, the tension set his head on edge.
He’d been waiting for this all day, all week, all month. This unsure moment between satisfaction and disappointment was killing him.
Jenny: I told you, give me a few minutes!
He waited, unable to take his eyes off the screen.
Jenny: Okay, we have two tickets left for the Barbie convention. That will be $200.
I wanted to make the texts italics but I don't understand how.
