Weekend Writing Warriors found a creative way to bring talented authors together who would like to share their 8-sentence excerpts to the blogosphere. These excerpts can be from unpublished or published works. If anyone would like to join or would like to read the wonderful talent, please visit the WeWriWa’s website on Sunday, August 24th.
I’m continuing my chapter for this week. If anyone needs to catch up, here’s Snippet #1, Snippet #2, and Snippet #3. My excerpt is still about two friends bonding over their hatred for a celebrity trying to mess up their promotional tour. Here goes:
Sequoia was good at keeping secrets, so it’s not like she would tell him.
“What?” Colin frowned.
Out of his daze, Perry said, “Huh?”
“What’s up, you were looking at me weird. Don’t tell me that we can’t get past this afternoon.” A teasing smirk formed on Colin’s lips. “Will you forgive me if I print a public apology?”

you really get a feel of how close these two are. Their interactions don’t feel forced and flow naturally. Enjoyed the 8.
Thank you, Meka!

Nice Snippet. Went back and read the other three too. I agree that it does flow naturally, enjoyed the peek.
