Another Six Sentence snippet for you from Restoring Experience, the novel I'm planning to pitch at the San Francisco Writers' Conference next month. You can read last week's snippet here, and previous SSS posts here. Remember to visit the Six Sunday site for links to other participants--great writers there, and some have new releases, books you can actually read, all at once :)
With no further ado:
“Are you happy?” He put an arm around my shoulders.
“I am.”
“About the apartment in Italy?” The excitement that spilled into his voice was tinged with triumph. He was proud of himself for finding this apartment.
Look forward to your comments and your own snippets :D Happy Sunday, everyone!
A cute six!
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy about an apartment in Italy too! Wow!
ReplyDeleteokay - I'm confused - sorry it's the way I am this week - is that Dan speaking?
ReplyDelete"The excitement that spilled into his voice was tinged with triumph." Great description here!
ReplyDeleteI like that she picks up on his triumph, and I wonder if she really *is* happy. Hmmm, subtly intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, girls, for stopping by :) @ Sue, sorry about the confusion: i should have clarified it's Dan & Alexia, yes. @ Melissa, glad you liked that description--I struggled over it like you've no idea :D @Monica, that's super perceptive of you--Alexia doesn't seem quite so excited, does she? Thanks for the visit, and "see" you soon on your own blogs!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious to see why he's excited and she isn't. Intriguing six, Guilie. :)
ReplyDeleteIs it him or the apartment which disappoints her? I can't wait to find out. Good six!
ReplyDeleteAww. So sweet! He wants her to be proud too!
ReplyDeleteAn apartment in Italy? Sounds sweet! I'd be happy. Wonder if she is?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments, girls! Glad you liked this :) Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading more!
ReplyDeleteI remember that part from the draft I read! Thanks for introducing me to SSS - week one was a blast.
ReplyDeleteOoo I'd love to have an apartment in Italy! Well, so long as it was in Florence ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a poignant exchange!
ReplyDeleteGreat feel to this - and what could possibly be wrong with Italy, eh? :D
ReplyDeleteHmm, is he going to get into trouble for not consulting her too? I hope not.
