Six more! Welcome back to the SSS post. Wow, lots of participants this week. I already have a hard time making them all every week, so I appreciate you stopping by.
We’re joining Brynn in her hotel room after she left her loser husband Jack.
Healing The World charity teamed up with her practice, the Bone and Joint Surgery Center to bring a five year old accident survivor from Somalia for much needed reconstructive craniofacial surgery. Along with the media circus surrounding little Nadif’s surgery, there was the heavier than normal load of sports injuries, all of which meant some long hours on her feet.
Of course, the whole reason she took on the additional patients was due to her situation with Jack, so if she chose to blame the man for her stress, she was justified. The email she sent him yesterday, insisting that he stop calling her phone did no good. He called as she ate a solitary dinner delivered by room service, and left another voice mail when she failed to pick up.
Brynn pulled open the drapes, and stared down at the Dallas skyline, the lights twinkled all the more furiously, as if they knew that the sunrise would soon mute them.
Wow those were long sentences. I swear that’s only six! That’s it for me. Hope you can visit a good chunk of the rest of the bloggers posting their six sentences at the main website. SSS is growing! Â On another subject, if you’re a blogger/author, and would like to join in a blog hop, I’m putting one together for Valentine’s Day, just click HERE for info. Have a great week everyone!
ooo very nice, Alana 🙂
This gets more and more interesting every week!
Great six sentences! Can't wait to read more next weekend.
I love Brynn more with every snippet.
Loved the last line
Very good six. Looking forward to more.
Grrrr….will that man ever give up
So glad she left him, now if only he would stop calling! Great post, Alanna!
Those were long sentences, but very good ones! 🙂
Isn't a man always to blame for stress – justified or otherwise?
Will he ever get the message? I hope Brynn sticks to her guns. Great six!
This is my first SSS, so I haven't read your previous excerpts, but love how well you've set up the situation, setting, main character and foundation of conflict. Very polished and “invisible” writing where the words flow so naturally that the reader can get totally lost in the story. Loved it!
I do love this story and it's all because of Brynn's character.
So happy that she's done with Jack. Really want things to turn around for Brynn. Already invested in this story. Six sentences at a time.
Glad she's sticking to her guns and not calling back!
Two words, Brynn: Restraining. Order.
Brynn seems to be growing stronger. I love to see positive growth in heroines.
Another great post
Thanks, everyone for visiting! I work on Sundays, and it takes me all day to catch up with you guys!
