After scanning my work for a first excerpt to post, I decided to start at the beginning (harsh language and all) of my current WIP, The Outer Planets. Thanks for stopping by. :)

Laurie,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Six Sentence Sunday! Your excerpt has definitely peaked my interest. Great description with an aura of mystery. I hope you will post more from this WIP.
Sweet. Glad you hopped in, Laurie.
ReplyDeleteYou know what I think about your opening lines to OP. Awesome!!!
Now that is a great beginning! I hope to see more!
ReplyDeleteCool! Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to SSS! Love the snippet :-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Six Sentence Sunday! Love your six!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great opening, Laurie!!! A definite hook.
ReplyDeleteLove! It! Wonderful six sentences - so evocative and intriguing!
ReplyDeleteLove the post!
ReplyDeleteThank you to everyone who has commented so far. This is such a cool idea and fun experience!
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying reading all the excerpts and the rich variety of voices, characters and situations that are artfully showcased in just six sentences.
Ooo, Laurie, this is what I love in my SF - the immediacy of setting and conflict. Throw me in there in medias res! Nicely done ;)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Six sentence sunday. I loved your post and hope you'll stop by again!
ReplyDeleteWelcome! Great opening!
ReplyDeleteGreat opening. Welcome to SSS.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Six Sentence Sunday, Laurie. Had a feeling Jessica Subject's post would attract new, er, blood!
ReplyDeleteVery descriptive. Great snippet.
Thanks, everyone, for the welcomes and the comments. :)
ReplyDeleteTaryn, yes, I see several Brigaders jumped onboard. I'm so glad Jessica posted about SSS.
I hope to be back next week to read more Six Sentence posts.
You had me, hooked! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathleen. (Oh, I love hearing that!) And thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteBarring anything unforeseen (meteor impact or the non-existant creek rising), I'll be back next Sunday. Oh, and I see many of the SSSers posted an image to go with their snippet. I'll try to do that, too.
Thanks for the great welcome and painless initiation, all.
Hi Laurie!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first six and thanks for the comment and compliment on my blog. Loving the scifi theme on yours. Can't wait to see your next six.
Pippa Jay
