New Creations! Another Fun Blogfest :)

Lightnings sequence 2 animation.gif

Summer Ross is hosting a fun and easy blogfest today. I found out about it from the awesome Amparo Ortiz.

Post one last sentence from a 2010 story you wrote. Post one first sentence from a new project this year.

Join the fun here.

My last sentence is from a new age/science fiction novel: 

“What do you know?” he whispered so that only I could hear, though Tracy stood just two feet away. “We can create our own reality.”

My first sentence is from a YA urban fantasy:

Grandma had lightning white hair and eyes so dark they surrounded me like a thunderstorm when she stared my way.

    Gah! Summer, don't say that. Inception is the movie that my husband said was just like my book, pretty much crushing my hopes that my book will ever succeed. I promise I wrote my book first. :)

    Thank you for the compliments and the blogfest! It's been fun!

    That ending sentence is interesting, and if you say it's like Inception, the story could be intriguing. Though I didn't care for the movie all that much.

    And the opening sentence? Beautiful use of language!

    Inception is one of my fave movies ever, so I'm sure I'll love your manuscript, Katrina! Oh, and anything with dreams? I'm there.

    Thanks for sharing!

    I like the beginning sentence! (It's easier to pull someone in with a beginning than a disconnected ending, I think.) Want to read more about this Grandma.

    I was late joining in on this blogfest, but I'd love to know what you think of my sentences.

    Your second sentence is fab. Good characterization.
