Oh, wait...Before I get into the talk about Hookers, I want to give y'all an awesome Twitter status update. My awesome writer friend tweeted this and it's so perfect. Check it out.
Okay, seriously though. Today is the Hookers and Hangers blogfest hosted by the lovely women over at Falling For Fiction. If you're unaware of this fest or don't know about the awesomeness of the ladies at that blog, check it out. <---That will take you to the linky for all the blogs signed up too, btw. :)
The Hookers (post 1st sentence of X number of chapters) post is today and the Hangers (post last sentence in each chapter) is on Wednesday. I'm using my current WIP, Unbind Me. (That's the working title at least).
So, here are chapters 1-7. :)
Chapter 1: The wind whips through my hair making it blow wildly around my face as I dodge about the elms and cottonwoods.
Chapter 2: Is it sad that I wanted him to be here?
Chapter 3: “Where were you?” Father asks before I’ve made it completely through the door.
Chapter 4: Would Lucas risk coming near our home?
Chapter 5: Rory, I think you should go check on Rourke.
Chapter 6: Lucas’ jaw is set and his chin is lifted a little, the determination evident on his face.
Chapter 7: I step out of the bathroom to see Declan sitting on the edge of my bed in silky blue pajama pants and nothing else.
Yeah, so...There you go. (Lol, that rhymed :D )
Thanks for stopping by, y'all. Have an awesomely Hooking Monday. :)
Oh, yeah! with chapter 7's first line. :D
ReplyDeleteA lot of different characters there!
ReplyDeleteI liked your chapter 7 hook, very sexy :)
ReplyDeleteI like your first line. The movement in it is intriguing.
ReplyDeleteGreat hookers! Loving the name Declan and his pajama pants ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm with Hope, Declan is one of my favorite names :)
ReplyDeleteLoved all of these! Great job!
Oh my, that chapter one's sentence. Beautiful. I can almost see it.
ReplyDeleteI shouldn't have even been surprised by number 7... ;) Can I just say, I LOVE this WIP? What I've read of it, anyway :)
ReplyDeleteGreat lines! Your book sounds really interesting. I want to know more of what's going on! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat posting and nice hookers. Definitely can't wait for your hangers. Enjoyed reading
ReplyDeleteI'm with my fellow FFF girls, love the name Declan. And the first line pulls me into the setting and that last line makes me want to see Declan in his PJ"s. ;) Great job, can't wait to read your hangers!
ReplyDeleteOh and that Twitter was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI like your first line for setting the scene, and I (like others here) like the last line. I never thought silk pajama bottoms would sound sexy, but maybe with a name like Declan he can pull them off. :) Cheers, Jeannette
ReplyDelete#2 is my favorite. It made me feel kinda sad with her and empathy keeps me in the story.
ReplyDeleteChapter 2 tugged on my heart strings quite a bit. Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteUh oh...I hope its nice and warm where Declan is! :)
ReplyDeleteTwitter was so funny!
ReplyDeleteReally like the first line. I feel like I'm there with her.
I like #3 :D you can almost hear the blood freeze in her veins ;)
ReplyDeleteNice opening line. I'd want to know what she's running from, or to. These are all good, though! #4 has great tension.
ReplyDeleteI liked #1. I stepped right into the pages of the book...
ReplyDeleteThe silky pajama pants is intriguing... lol. But I think this is my fave:
ReplyDeleteThe wind whips through my hair making it blow wildly around my face as I dodge about the elms and cottonwoods.
There's just something awesome about running through (what I assume is) a forest :)
