I thought I'd mix it up a little. Today's six sentences come from my debute novel, Hidden Threat.
This morning she'd spent over an hour in the bathroom doing her hair and makeup, something she never did anymore, and donned one of her new power business suits. She pulled her reddish-brown hair up off her neck in a twist to give her a more professional air, as did the three-inch black pumps she wore. She looked good in the sleek black pants suit. Of course she should, given what it had cost. The sales woman had commented how much the suit complimented her figure, and she had to admit, it did show off her assets while hiding her flaws.
She ran a hand down the front of the suit and sighed, whispering to her reflection, "Ready or not, here I come."
sounds like she's ready to take on the world. well done!
ReplyDeleteHear hear to Liz's comments. Great six!
ReplyDeleteI like this. There's a subtle underlying tension that says something is about to change. I also like the title, Hidden Threat -- that has a lot of conflict and tension in it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like she's preparing for battle...in the boardroom. Great tension.
ReplyDeleteGo on girl, walk tall and proud! Great post!
ReplyDeleteWork it girl! I love a strong, confident woman. :)
ReplyDeleteAh yes, very well described, we've all been there! Well done!
ReplyDeleteSounds hot. She's about to floor somebody. that's for sure.
