Six Sentence Sunday - Eighteen

I'm veering in a new direction this week.  My first novel's contract is ending and I have decided to see where I began, see how far I have come, and what I would want to change now, five years after writing it.  I thought it would be easy, but, alas, my first novel, well, for lack of a better way to express myself...sucked ass.

I had not realized just how much it sucked ass until I began reading it yesterday for the first time in three years.

But these six sentences did not exactly suck.  Near the beginning of Kaya's alien abduction, she meets her tutor, charged with teaching her the ways of her alien hosts.


"Lord Fatel, let me introduce you to Lady Kaya.”
Thoughts of her captive status completely fled from her mind as she smiled up into his eyes, and then blushed as she remembered her near nakedness.  She covered her bosom with her arms, embarrassed to be so on display in front of this gorgeous male.  Lord Fatel stepped towards her and grasped her hands in his, pulling her towards him, his pale blue eyes roving over her form as he smiled his approval. 
He huskily spoke, in almost a whisper, desire apparent in his eyes and filling his words.  "I have been waiting for our classes to begin with much excitement."

  3. Isn't it amazing to see how far you've come and how much your writing has changed over time? I'm always amazed at the differences. Fun six, Alex. :)

  6. Ooh - hot alien action to come?

    I know what it's like to be looking through a manuscript where the overall quality of writing isn't where it needs to be, but still finding some gems worth sharing. :) It's good stuff.


    I missed the list deadline for this week, but I did get six sentences of my own buried gems up! http://kelworthfiles.wordpress.com/2011/12/18/six-sentence-sunday-more-from-children/
