I’m a mom learning to balance my family, faith, and writing career.

Friday Fiction Challenge

I issued a challenge to all writers at Writer…Inerrupted. It’s very easy and will take you all of five minutes to do, so head on over there and join in!

Here’s my challenge.

First three sentences of book I’m reading:

I had every reason to be peeved, and I told Carly so.

“Why didn’t you just get me a T-shirt that says, ‘I turned forty today, and all I got was the chance to poke around at a crime scene?”

“And this lousy T-shirt’. Don’t forget that part,” Carly added with a grin.

First three sentences of WIP I’m writing: (remember it’s a WIP!)

My Gucci heels clicked on the tile counting down the seconds as I rushed toward the campus television studio. The intoxicating aroma of fried pastries wafted off the buffet table, but my resolve held thanks to my churning stomach. I couldn’t even choke down a cardboard-tasting protein bar if I wanted to.

    I added this to my blog and shoutlife page. I even added a book giveaway. What a fun idea! I have notidea which book your reading though :(. It’s not Hazardous Duty though it has that feel to it.

    I don’t know the book you’re reading, but it sounds funny.

    Yours sounds like women’s fiction–I like the first person point of view.
