Welcome to Snippet Sunday and Weekend Writing Warriors, your chance to sample the work of a talented group of authors. My excerpt today is from my current WIP Flood. If you've been following you know that my heroine was invited to tube down a river by two men. The man she rejected showed up at her home that evening to find out what she and the other guy had been up to. The tension ratcheted quickly. We're picking up where we left off last week. Jason is the guy she didn't pick. I've used creative punctuation to get a couple more sentences in.It's unedited so let me know if you see anything.
“That’s
enough!” Aria’s voice rang throughout the living room. “I think the
testosterone is a little thick in here; both of you settle down and stop acting
like juvenile delinquents.”
Jason
sneered at Caleb. “One of us is a delinquent anyway.”
“Jason!”
Eyes flashing, Jason strode toward the door. "Mark my words, Aria; you'll regret this."
Great snippet. :)
ReplyDeleteVivid, Elaine. I wonder is she will regret it? I haven't quite got a bead on their characters, yet. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like her! She's not afraid to take control and set (and enforce) limits.
ReplyDeleteIntense scene. Wonder whether she lets him leave.
ReplyDeleteI've made my choice! :D
ReplyDeleteOh, you give good tension, Elaine!
YIKES! Big conflict at the get-go. Super eight, Elaine.
ReplyDeleteoooh, a lot of emotions flying every where, I like that! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the interplay between all of them. Feathers are probably about to start flying!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling Jason will regret more things than she will. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteGreat tension and conflict via crisp dialogue. I love her strength that shines through. Great 8!
ReplyDeleteNice, sharp dialogue.
