Steering the Craft, Chapter 2 Exercise

Onwards and upwards! I have continued my Steering the Craft exercises, and I have another one to share with y'all.

This is from Ch. 2—Punctuation and Grammar.

Write a paragraph to a page (150–350 words) of narrative with no punctuation (and no paragraphs or other breaking devices).

Nancy was the first one to leave her car and start screaming at the other driver sarcastically asking if they were blind Alton groaned before getting out of his car not really in the mood to deal with yet another woman screaming at him for mistakes made especially since he was not convinced that the accident had been his fault but once Alton exited his vehicle and took a proper look at Nancy he stopped caring about screaming females or insurance payments or much of anything at all Nancy noticed Altons athletic build and strong looking hands and decided maybe she would tone down on the screaming after all accidents happen she apologized for her initial response and he graciously assured her that he understood the two exchanged information then lingered awkwardly both wanting to ask the other for their number but neither wanting to come off as a desperate creep Nancy flashed Alton a perfunctory smile and turned to head back to her car a feeling of disappointment washing over her but as she turned Alton called out and asked that ever important question Can I have your number

Whew! That was a hard one. It was incredibly difficult not to use any punctuation, and, naturally, the whole thing is an unreadable mess.

If you complete the exercises, I encourage you to post and share your responses.
