WELCOME TO WEEKEND WRITING WARRIORS!

Hello, all!

 

This week I've decided to try something new. I've teamed up with a new set authors on a blog hop. This time we're bringing you eight sentences from our novels. I've chosen my eight this week from ABANDON ALL HOPE.

She fought through a head rush and scrambled to

find something to wear that didn’t need to be ironed. On the way out the door, she grabbed a diet soda from the fridge, and an oatmeal cookie from a package on the kitchen counter. Oatmeal IS a breakfast food, she reasoned. Twenty short minutes after her alarm clock didn’t ring, she rushed out the door and hustled up the street, filled with a multitude of people who had apparently set their alarm clocks incorrectly as well.

Despite this bad start, at exactly 8 a.m., Hope entered the conference room clutching her portfolio determinedly—determined to make the best of her rotten day; determined not to be stuck with another story about the wallaby’s birthday at the zoo, or some elderly lady winning her ninth consecutive quilting bee; determined to win a hard-hitting news story she could make memorable. Though she had been a photographer for the paper for years, it had only been about six months since she first requested a writing assignment. Since then, she had been stuck with the crap stories no one else wanted to take. But that would not be the case today.

Now, have some fun and read more passages from weekend writing warriors. You can find them here:
