Six Sentence Sunday...somewhere
Technically, I'm a little early, but I know it's already Sunday somewhere in the world...just not sure where. Here's the game...

1. Choose 6 sentences from one of your works...published, unpublished, in progress, it doesn't matter. Post them in your blog before 9am est Sunday (as I said, I'm early, but I'm going away tomorrow and haven't figured out how to program my posts yet).

2. Link back to the Six Sentence website . Done. It's that easy, folks.

So here's my entry, again from rough draft of Raven's Blood

       “Upright is good,” I nodded. He chuckled again, beeped open the door and helped me settle in, buckling my seatbelt securely. I shivered as his knuckles grazed the skin exposed by the v in my t-shirt. He froze.
       
“You okay?” his voice was low and I was painfully aware how close we were. I squirmed.

Relearning how to drive...
Been working on a netbook for the past few months...like half a year. Don't get me wrong, netbooks (mini computers) are great. Mine's nickname is Little Bit. Little Bit has been doing Big Girl jobs. Updating websites, researching, Twitter, trying to take pictures (not so great) as well as emailing and (most importantly) WRITING. Now, Little Bit is great for writing. I love her for that. She's as fast as can be when all I want to do is write. But now...now after months of scrimping and saving and doing without...I has a new laptop. Good for business, both writing and the day job. I just have to stretch the fingers a bit more, figure out where some of the keys are (shift is WAAAY over, pinkie, not closer) which is all okay. I like that. It just takes some time, which I'm not so great at now that I have a computer that has lightning processors and I can finally multi-task on screen. it's fast, why can't I just DO it already! Patience, grasshopper. I know. First you walk then you run and all that. I'm just...excited I guess.

Six Sentence Sunday
Here's the deal. Each Sunday take your WIP or one of your published works. Choose at least six consecutive sentences and post them. That's it. Easy, simple and fun.

My entry...

             Tyr laughed, and like the rest of him, it was two things at once. Warm and sexy but edged with a bit of danger too. I frowned at him.            
            
“You think my guesses are stupid.” I moved to get up and Tyr put a hand on my shoulder, not pushing, but not letting me go either.
           
            
“I think you have interesting things that comfort you.” He smiled at me, and there was that feeling again. Not danger from him directly, more like the danger came from knowing the things he knew.

Your own advice is the hardest to take....

I've hit a road block. The trouble is, I'm having trouble following my own advice and actually stepping away from the work, taking a play date and trying to figure out what is wrong on a subconscious level. Hmm. I'll have to work at playing this week, until I figure it out. It's always the end game that gives me trouble too. I want to jump ahead to the fighting. But I have to set the stage. My story teller does not like this.

Tardy Six Sentence Sunday
My internet was all...weird...last night. I couldn't post, I swear. We don't have a dog (not that I don't WANT one) so I can't use that excuse. Anyway, here's my entry...

     I straightened abruptly as a figure came around the corner. I put my full weight behind the swing as the paper connected with whoever had come at me. The package partially tore and paper shot out, forming a cloud. I heard a loud oaf and saw a thin man in a shark suit hit the floor as I yelled the first thing that came to mind.

            “I know Kung Fu!” I brandished the rest of the paper just as the surrounding package let loose and the rest of my weapon floated gently to the ground, to surround my victim.
