The humor is amazing in this! Poor Arnor though. XD

[Catherine, Shieldmaiden of Rohan <3]

Poor Arnor indeed *giggles*. He doesn't mind though, he's a plucky chap.

He, Karsten and Ealdread have been cementing themselves as a team, and I couldn't be happier *squeals*

That's quite a team! I sense much humor and snark in store for them, and they all seem very loyal and sweet which is always great to read about in friendships.

[Catherine, Shieldmaiden of Rohan <3]

Oh, I have quite a few side characterization scenes worked out for these guys.....just a question of writing them. LOL.

And you're right on the head with the humor and snark in store for them <3

[R.F. Gammon]

Ahhh, I love all you guys’ snippets (Gray, Catherine, and Shine) <3 SO DIFFERENT, yet all so amazing. <3

[R.F. Gammon]

Let me share a snippet from the 8k I wrote yesterday on my day off:

He swung his legs off the side of the bed. His head reeled at the distance that just a few days ago had been inconsequential, but now was a million feet down. He didn’t want to try to stand. Standing was bad. Standing would send him reeling to his face, and then someone would come in to see what had happened to him and ask why he was lying on his face, and then he’d have to explain that he was only just now remembering how to walk after being tortured. And that would not exactly be fun.
He put his feet on the ground and winced at the contact. Ouch.

'Ike huffed when Josep hugged the helmet closer to his chest. “Don’t do this,” Ike said.
“Why not?”
“Because, it’s really annoying." '

LOL---I feel like this is me and my friends (and I'm the annoying one).

[Katrina Michelle]

@Gray - Oh, no! Josh, don't go down that road, you poor boy with the broken past. *sniffles* <3

@Catherine - LOVE that brotherly bond between those guys. And the dialogue is spot-on, imo!!! xD

@Faith - WHOA. TORTURE??? O_O Love the snippet - I need more, how about??

@Danielle - Oh, Ike. *shakes head* xD I love the fun dialogue!!

[Katrina Michelle]

Here's a snippet from what I wrote yesterday in Dusted Red. xD

~

Slightly gestured to the water below him. "The mermaids killed him."

I tried to keep my eyes from widening too obviously large. "They did?"

Slightly said nothing for several seconds, and I couldn't help but blurt, "Do you hate them?"

At last, the boy shoved his hair out of his face and turned to me with hard eyes. They weren't hard for me, though. At least, I thought not. "Yes. I hate them very much. We all do. Even Peter hates them a little."

"Why don't you get rid of them, then?" I asked.

(Inspired by my older dreams. Even this kidnapping dream I had a long time ago.)

No one knew how the villains found Shine and kidnapped her...."

This is so interesting, Shine! I'm intrigued.

[Catherine, Shieldmaiden of Rohan <3]

Oh wow....

Danielle, Lila and Shine....y'all have got some really really nice snippets here :). All the feels are tumbling in....

[Katrina Michelle]

Shine, your snippet intrigues me so much!! O_O And I also think it's SUPER cool you're using your dreams.

*smiling evilly at the responses to my snippet* :)

[Snaps]

And here's a little snippet from the book I'm editing now.


' David shook his head, leaning away. “Did you just do that?”

“I do it all the time,” Ike said. '

Here's a snippet from my project:

“And one other thing…”
“What’s that, sir?” Kariana put her hands on her hips.
Martin looked first her, then Derek in the eye. Kariana broke away to stare at the ground; Derek held the gaze.
“Come back alive.”

Here's a snippet from my current project, "the day we met":

There’s a certain magic about writing in a crowded coffee shop. The smell of freshly brewed coffee—the hustle and bustle of people—and the clinks of silverware against plates and saucers—all give me a sense of inspiration and motivation.

*disclaimer: i'm in first draft mode so it has not been edited :)*

Ooh, I likes it. It makes me want to go write at a coffee shop even though I never have before :P

[Libby]

My church owns a coffee shop right on our church property and it's one of my favorite places. Too bad I'm always too busy to sit down and write. XD

[Catherine, Shieldmaiden of Rohan <3]

agreed. I really wish there was a coffee shop near me now

[Nicki]

I don't even DRINK coffee!

[Catherine, Shieldmaiden of Rohan <3]

neither do I!!!!

[Libby]

Me neither... except decaf sometimes if I really want it.
It's hard not to when it's free at my coffee shop. XD. But I don't want to get addicted.

[Katrina Michelle]

I love your snippet, Allison!! Gaaah, coffee shops rock!

[R.F. Gammon]

Ivie wrote: "#NoCoffeeSquad. XD

But I would love to write in a coffee shop. Actually, scratch that, I just like writing coffee shop scenes. XD"

Yeah, I'm on the #NoCoffeeSquad too...but I still love coffee shops for some reason! I'd just get water or tea or something and call it good. XD

“Alex?” Andres takes a step towards me, “Are you okay?”

I can’t speak. I glance back down at my screen. mom… hit… not awake… hospital… Alex Alex Alex Alex Alex…..

And I can’t breathe.

I can’t breathe.
I can’t breathe.
I can’t breathe.
I CAN’T BREATHE.

Someone gasps, and I realize it was me. I’m hunched over, pulling at my hair, my phone clatters to the ground.
