WEEKEND WRITING WARRIORS - 8 SENTENCES ON SUNDAY


If you are interested in follow this link: WWR

As I am a weekend-only writer of romance, Darrah is still having trouble ignoring Hale.

She leaned against a tree, halfway back to the camp. Before she faced her men, she needed to give herself a few well-worded orders. The man’s ability to reflect and intensify emotions was a biological low-blow. But, the Sarkisian’s range of subtle, hormone-enhanced scents were no more than perfume on a courtesan. The healthy glow of his skin was the bait. The shifting silk of his hair begging to be stroked was the distraction. And the warmth that surrounded him in his aura? That was the trap.

SIX SENTENCE SUNDAY - GENRE MASH-UP SCI-ROM-FI

especially when it is laced with romance :D

SIX SENTENCE SUNDAY

Yesterday, I reviewed my writing note book. I totalled the genres and discovered my interest in sci-fi and romance score best, they have the highest number of ideas. I'm reading crime fiction to prepare for the project waiting in the biro. My diet of crime is bringing on an a sci-rom reaction. Who'd have thought? ;)

As Xavia slid to a halt at the portal, the dull echo sounded again. She ran her fingers over the key pad, caught her breath, and smoothed her expression to calm efficiency, before the compressed gas hissed and the door swung open. Theoretical science proved: time did have elastic qualities, and dimensions were not fixed: the portspace was filled by lengths of moulded plas-fabric. Automatically she checked the details to identify as much as possible about the visitor, his grav-boots were quality, the suit was enhanced with sensors, his head was clean shaven but her breathing had shifted to unstable. It was a man's face, the alignment of the features more perfect than the ones she'd seen on the Surgical Solutions' site. When his eyebrows tugged low enough they shadowed his features and moved his expression from magnetic to grimly-fiendish.

I love focussing on the first six sentences of everything I read, so much can be condensed into a tiny space.

WHICH GENRES MASH-UPS DO YOU ENJOY READING?
