So in fandom — or at least, I think that’s where it started? Hard to track this kind of thing down — there is a thing called “Sunday Six”, where authors post six sentences from their WIPs (Works In Progress). It’s a great way to engage readers and keep people interested in work that won’t be available to be read for a while. Given the torturous hell I’m putting everyone through with my writing updates about Wolves of Harmony Heights, I thought it might be fun (cruel? pointless?) to share progress on it, “Sunday Six Style” (although I think it’s actually eight sentences? Euclidean numbers. Not my thing).
Here you go, from chapter two, my main character Liz Hart talking about motherhood with her co-worker, Shawnna Franklin as they are working in the gas station mart that Liz manages:
Shawnna frowned as she broke down the empty boxes. “You know your son is one fine looking boy, right?”
“He’s gorgeous.” Liz nodded.
“No, Liz. That’s you as a mother remembering what he looked like as a loaf of bread in your arms after giving birth. I’m telling you as the mother of an eleven year old girl who thinks Augie is ‘super adorbs’ that your son is going to be a heart-breaker in about another year.”
“I…what?” Liz frantically flipped to the picture albums on her phone. “No.”
