Greetings minions!
So if you were following me back when I was still I before E, you may remember that I participated in a weekly party/gathering/hop of lovely Wippeteers posting snippets of their works-in-progress that somehow relate to the day’s date. I’ve been trying to jump back in for a while now, but life has been sadly interrupting my internet time (I’m a homeowner, yay!).
Today, I’m offering up 2 lines from page 2 of book 2 in honor of October 22nd:
“Peach.” Her voice was strained, hoarse, as if she’d been screaming. And maybe she had. “I just can’t.”
Peach nodded, the moonlight glinting off his silvery hair. “It’s about him.”
What’s that? No context, you say? Well, that’s just how most Wippeteers roll. In my case, giving any context would spoil the ending of Stones and Finger Bones, and this is a strictly spoiler-free zone! 🙂
I’ll be making the rounds to check out all the other snippets, and you can as well by clicking this link. Many thanks to KL Schwengel for always hosting!

Well, that was…brief. 🙂 But I’m with you on spoilers. There has to be *some* mystery remaining, right?

I know! I don’t have much written yet, so everything has to be brief to avoid spoilers! I’ll try to do better for next week. 🙂

Stones and Finger Bones, I love it. And love the excerpt even though it is rather miniscule, and teaserish. Yes, I made up a word. I can do that. 😉

I defer to your power of word-making-uping! 🙂

Context is boring. Life is more fun without context. This snippet in particular was fun without context!
I don’t know if you were around when I started posting WIPpets, so hi! I’m Rachel! 😀

Welcome back! I can’t wait to see what happens here. Even with those two lines, there was a lot of tension in the moment, so I think it was really nicely done.

That is intriguing. I’m wondering about this woman and what she’s going through. And also who ‘him’ is. Hmm… 🙂
