So the first chapter of my marauders book is underway after a break to look after myself as i have just returned to school, am trying to revise and ontop of that all, i had covid not too long ago. So far the first chapter has 2248 words in it, and oh my lord, its not even close to finishing. However i am super excited to get into the swing of things and keep writing this one. ANYWAYS, a sneak peak from the first chapter cuz i am bored lol:

"DRIVERS,"
The smell of chemicals as life rushes into the death traps of metal the racers wait eagerly in.
"ON YOUR MARKS,"
Engines begin to hum, cars begin to rev. The lights above the track begin their sequence. The first 2 red lights already gone.
"BEEP"
The next 2 gone.
"BEEP"
and the next.
"BEEP"
adrenaline begins to course through bodies
"BEEP"
Fingers wrapped around the wheel, poised on the gear clutch, feet on the accelerator pedal.
"BEEP"
balance.
"GOGOGO"
Lights change to green, the starter waves the flag. Cheers erupt in the stands from onlookers. And the cars begin to speed off down the track.
Leading the pack, a black car with red lights along the doors and the tires and fake dog ears haphazardly stuck on the front, sporting a gold lion and an orange 'M'. It was seamlessly drifting around corners, almost as if it was gliding on ice. The driver making sure to add enough throttle so that they can stay in the lead, but not too much so that the beast they're controlling does not capsize.
Following behind were 2 cars; a clearly new, but damaged, red and gold one, with something that seemed like antlers protruding from the top, and an older silver car, smaller with pink hubcaps, and a mouse tail painted onto the back (both showing the same emblems as the car in front). The pair frantically were attempting to take over the red and black, in a high-powered yet entrancing struggle for power.
