WIPpet Wednesday…. a WIP that’s….not really a WIP =P

July 2, 2014

I might be breaking the rules a bit, but I don’t want to give you the tentacle erotica at all. So … I’m going to give you a bit more from the sci-fi short I gave you last week. I just submitted it on Sunday, so here’s to hoping I hear back soon. *crosses fingers*

So here you go! My WIPpet that’s not really truly a WIPpet anymore.

For the second of July, you get two lines from page 14. So…. here you go

“Where are we going?” Laila asked and glanced at the cave entrance.

“To fight a war.”

If you would like to join in WIPpet Wednesdays, all you have to do is post an excerpt of your work in progress (unlike me) on your blog and link it up here. Make sure your post correlates with the date somehow! Then check out all the other posts.

#ROW80 update and progress on goals

This has been a crazy hard month for us, started really end of January, and it's looking to continue to be another rough month. My spouse was fired, we're switching kids' daycare because of abuse issues, I've been sick with some cold, stomach bug through the house,...

Open when you get fired… #loveletters #openwhen

Oh love, My heart breaks for you. This isn't what you wanted or what I wanted. And it is completely out of our hands. Let me hold you, love. Let me hold you while you cry, while you curse, while you run worries around your head so much that you don't know where to...

    I love the new design of your page. Very nice! As for the snippet…that’s quite a teaser. I hope you hear back with good news. 🙂

      Lol thanks! And I know. I’ll message you something in a second. I hope I hear back with good news too!

    ‘To fight a war’ – sounds like it’s more like an epic novel than a short story lol. But knowing you (sort of!!) I’m sure it’s fab. 🙂

    • Adrian

      Haha it could be an epic novel. Maybe if it doesn’t get accepted, I’ll turn it into that

        • Adrian

          I’m sure it would be fun but I have enough novels going right now that I need to finish

    Oh! This was short and tense, with the promise of more. Glad you shared, even if it’s not a WIP anymore! =)

    • Adrian

      Lol thanks! These are actually the last two lines in the piece

      • shanjeniah

        Now I want to learn all that happens before those lines! =D

        • Adrian

          Lol!!! Well hopefully it’ll get published!

          • shanjeniah

            Hear, hear! Hoping right along with you! =)

    Intriguing! I love little snippets like this! Hopefully it gets accepted, I want to know what happens in the rest of the story!

    • Adrian

    • Adrian

      And then…the end

        *snork*

          Like I said before. If it’s not accepted into the anthology, I might just create a while epic novel off it

    I think we’re all pretty lenient on the WIP rules. Breaking them now and then is fine. You may sport a bruise or two, though. 😉 They were given with love. You already know this, but I’ll say it again. Love the new layout!!! It’s inviting and comforting and the flowery thing at the top… yeah, loves!
