But today, I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorite lines from the story. Enjoy!

We kept up the pace for a couple hours, finally stopping for a break when my stomach growled so loudly that even Erik heard it."Hungry?" he asked.
"No, I think I'll wait to see if my stomach can eat my spine."

I watched as the first of the haggard looking buildings passed my window. Faded and peeling red paint graced its walls, while slightly crooked steps led up to the sagging front porch.

"How's the training going?" Sarah asked, as I gracelessly threw myself into a chair.
"I'm definitely going to be sore tomorrow, probably sore tonight, and maybe even sore before lunch is over," I replied.

I liked the idea of posting a few lines, instead of asking new readers to commit to paragraphs and paragraphs! Brilliant! :)
ReplyDeleteand "Teeth the size of paring knives glinted in a vicious snarl" is a scary line ;-)
And by the way I love your blog title :)
ReplyDeleteHi Danielle! Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you liked the idea, though I really can't take credit for it. One of my favorite authors, Faith Hunter, posts snippets like this on her website sometimes. Anyway, I plan to post a few more as I continue to revise and move toward publication.
ReplyDeleteI'm following you on Twitter now too, so let's keep in touch!
