The rules are simple.
1. Sign up in the Linky List below. The Linky List will go live 12:01AM Monday and will close at 11:59PM Saturday night every week.
2. Post 6 paragraphs (no more, no less) from either a WIP or a published work. The post must be live by 9:00AM Sunday.
3. Open to both un-published and published authors.
4. Post the link back to Sneak Peek Sunday so that others can hop along. Feel Free to copy and use the Banner on your own blog or to promote your entry.
5. HAVE FUN!!
“Good afternoon. May I help you?” A woman, who appeared to
be in her thirties, looked up from a desk behind a glass partition and flashed
a welcoming smile.
Hope crossed to the counter, eyeing the myriad of literature
displayed there. Her mouth turned to cotton. “I…I’d like some information
please.”
“Of course. Feel free to peruse any of our printed material,
or if you prefer, I can set an appointment for you to meet with one of our
counselors.”
Hope managed to return the woman’s smile. “I think I’d like
to look through some of the pamphlets first, if you don’t mind.”
“Whatever you’d like.” The clerk gestured to the colorful
brochures. “Help yourself and have a seat. If you have any questions, let me
know.” She slid her chair over to her computer and returned to her typing.
Hope gathered several tri-folds and glanced around the empty
waiting room. She sat in the chair closest to the wall, put her handbag on the
floor, and read. The impersonal wording made the process medically clear–almost
as if no human being was involved. Time was of the essence—the emphasis on that
warning appeared several times in every piece of literature. “The first
trimester.” Hope’s voice sliced the silence and she went back to reading in
silence.
If you'd like to read the rest of Hope's Story and those of Chastity and Faith, you can find Ages of Love on Amazon.
Here are this week's participants:
Be sure and check in for next week!
Great six and thanks so much for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDelete(and can you believe I spelled my own name wrong for the new linky list? I must need to still be in bed)
Thanks for having the sign up again Ginger. Loved your snippet this week :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by to comment. I visited everyone's blog, but I see we only have two people signed up for next week. That sucks!
ReplyDeleteWhat is that poor girl contemplating Ginger?!?
ReplyDeleteAck! Almost made me cry.
I'm about to post mine, so there will be 3 of us now. It's still early though on a Monday, so hopefully there will be more sign up as the week gets going.
I need to scheduled a few of my posts ahead so I'll always have my permalink ready to go on Monday morning. Trying to get back into the swing of things (I used to do the Six Sentence Sundays & I kept a month's worth of posts prepped and ready to go.) ;)
We'll get there!
Taryn...I hope we get more people to sign up. I used to do Six Sentence Sundays too and I enjoyed having a theme each Sunday. Before I invest in the Linky Tool (monthly expense) I want to make sure people are going to use it, and I have two more weeks. :)
