Hey everyone, it's time for a Sunday Snapshot! We haven't done this in a while so I'm really looking forward to reading your contributions. Post the last paragraph or several lines of dialogue that you wrote. It doesn't have to be perfect. It doesn't even have to be good. It just has to be yours.
Here's mine. It's pretty bad first draft but perhaps it will encourage y'all to share, too. I really do like getting a little peek at all the different things you are writing.

Berol pushed to his feet, prodding his nearest companion with his foot. His voice was deepening at last, rumbling in his throat without cracking as he shouted. “Up, elves! We will sleep in our own beds tonight.”

I loved your Snap shot! Elves!
ReplyDeleteThis is my Snap shot
This idea is so far under wraps even I'm not sure what's going on ;)
George's mum paced around him in a wide circle. Narrowed eyed, she ran her hand over the bag. She was obviously eager to make sure the alterations she'd made were effective. She tugged on the straps on more time and then she hit his shoulder. George took it to mean he was free to go to school.
Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to finally reading your sequel one day! I love the idea of Arathor having a little girl, and how Tiana gets to be a grandmother.
Elaine, that was great! I love the action and the way that the mother and son relate to each other.
