This week, a peek at the opening lines of my current work-in-progress, NSFW:
Want to play along? It’s fun and easy!At the ripe old age of thirty-seven, I could honestly say I’d never had a blowjob in a bathroom stall. Nor had I ever slept with a co-worker unless you count an indiscretion or two when I was a teenaged fast food drone. I sure as fuck hadn’t slept with a boss, particularly not when that boss was Marie “if looks could kill” Dawson.
Not until last night, anyway.
Rubbing my eyes, I tried not to groan. What in the name of all that’s holy was I thinking?
1. pick a project – a current WIP, contracted work or even something readers can buy if you’re published
2. pick six sentences
3. post ‘em on your blog or website on Sunday
Damn, you're good at this. Picking 6 sentences that really stand for themselves, I mean. This selection says a lot about the character and the story in so little words. Love the tone!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun writing for a male POV?! This is spot-on and the first sentence is a definite ... er, hooker. You know what I mean. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the character that's already shining through in this. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI love it :: and now I'm curious like hell ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I want this book too...the only trouble w/ six sentence Sunday is my TBR pile gets bigger and bigger...
ReplyDeleteGreat hook has already been said but bears repeating
