It’s the last Six Sentence Sunday, and I want to thank everyone who has stopped by to read or comment on what has turned out to be 366 of mine.
Because of your support and encouragement—and beta comments from those of you brave enough to read the whole thing—I’ve been taking a long look at that old drawer novel of mine and have decided to give it a thorough edit and see if I can make it agent-worthy.
Who knows?
I’m not sure what I’ll be putting in this space, if anything, but I hope some of you might drop in once in a while for old-time’s sake?

One last snark for the road. . . .

“If someone does break in here, what would you do?” I wasn’t about to risk a key witness—or a friend.
Reynard’s shoulders lifted, fell. “Members of the Press are generally held to observing and reporting news, not directly generating it—but self-defense is an acceptable loophole.”
“What do you call bailing me out of jail?” I asked.
“Job security.”

Awesome. I’m so glad it’s coming out of the drawer 🙂
Thanks, Wendy. It’s going to take some time to get it edited, but I think I know what changes I need to make . . .
This is me pushing a whole bunch more encouragement at you. Go, go, go!
Well . . . okay. 🙂
I love Pressman! And YES! Please get this submission ready! It totally deserves to be in print. Let me know if you want me to help you with a revised version. I’ve learned a lot since I saw it last and would love to give it another go…
I’ll hold you to that, Angela! 🙂
Good luck on editing and querying! It’s such a fulfilling feeling to breathe life back into an old manuscript and make it even better.
Thanks, Carrie-Anne. I hope I can make it better.
You should definitely look back over it. It’s a world and a story that others should have to possibility to experience. Great snippet to leave off with. Reynard has the best one-liners around.
I’ll do it, if you get Countdown out there. Deal?
He seems to . . . which is unfair to Clyota, really, but oh well. 😉
LOL! Good one. I’ve so enjoyed reading your snippets and I’m glad we met on the SSS meme! Wishing you all the best!
Right back at you, Ms. Saxon! 😀
Love it! I’m so glad you’ve pulled it out of the drawer. Following you on twitter now, and going to follow your blog. Be sure to keep in touch! 🙂
Thanks, Jessica!
(I’m really boring on Twitter, so I apologize in advance!)
Do pull it out of the drawer and get it ready. I’ve enjoyed your snippets very much.
Thank you , Elaine—I’m glad you’re going to continue your snippets!
I want more! How do I follow your blog? and http://www.wewriwa.com/2013/01/welcome-to-weekend-writing-warriors-r.html is continuing with 8 sentences.
You’re WordPress, too, so when you’re signed in and looking at my blog, there should be a little cross-in-circle thingie on the top bar at the left. Click that and my posts will appear in your WordPress reader. It worked when I followed yours! 😀
I may sign with the Warriors, but even if I don’t, I’ll lurk around so I don’t miss your next passage.
Oh man! Great line. My hero used it to, but the circumstances were rather different.
I’m going to keep posting with Skye Warren’s list and/or the Weekend Writing Warriors. Hope to see you around.
And I’ll be dropping by here as well, so you’d better have something to post at least once in a while, young lady! 😉
I’ll do my best, Kate. 🙂
I’ll probably do the Warriors, if anything—it’s tough to pass up those two extra sentences!
Love the Pressman! Great six! I’ve enjoyed your snippets every week! Best of luck with your revisions and your future submission! 🙂
Thanks, Lorraine. 🙂
I can see the movie poster…
My author photo will be me in a SWAT jacket with LIBRARY across the back . . .
Totally badass.
LOL! I love your humor. It’s lighting-quick! I’m so glad you’re pulling out the ol’ manuscript – rock your talent, woman!
