On Sundays, I share tidbits of my works in progress as part of Weekend Warrior’s 8-Sentence Sunday. And since I'm currently participating in NaNoWriMo, I'll be posting a little weekend wrap-up at the conclusion of today’s snippet.
My NaNoWriMo project is a paranormal (erotic) romance titled DISARMING COWBOYS, book 7 of my Lone Wolves of Shay Falls series.
“I missed the funeral,” Jayson said.
A swell of the old anger resurfaced. “I imagined that Blaise’s band of psychotic
murderers had decided to kill you after all, or that you were being tortured,
or that changing into something unnatural was causing you unspeakable agony.
And part of me imagined the first thing Blaise would do once
you’d become one of them would be to have you come after me yourself.”
So what do you think?
My Week in NaNo
I did my traditional midnight sprint kickoff on November 1. I like to get a head start in case things go awry later, which always manages to happen! This was the first year that the whole family joined in to do NaNo together, which is exciting! And I've got a special writing tips series going here on the blog all month in honor of NaNo.

I really like it so far. The exchange is tense for all the right reasons. The conflict seems organic, not manufactured. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm glad it comes off as tense as the moment required.
DeleteVery nice. You've sucked me in to this exchange.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that! Since this is chapter 1, sucking in is definitely a goal LOL
