Weekend Writing Warriors - WIP New York Minute #8Sunday


Another weekend and another 8 sentences from my WIP, New York Minute. I will continue where I left off. If you need to read last week's 8, which is the beginning of the WIP, click HERE.



Chloe pulled Veronica tighter. “Speed dating is different than a regular bar atmosphere.”
“Have you done this before?”
“Never with you.” They walked another block and Chloe stopped in front of the Aria Lounge, her hands held out like a showgirl. 
Other women grouped up in the entrance, pretty women, dressed for success ... or sex. Veronica looked down at her simple black dress and green fitted jacket with a swooshy scarf around her neck, and wished she wore something else. All these other ladies had low cut blouses, too-tight pants, or short skirts that didn’t leave too much to the imagination. Veronica looked -- blah.
“Chloe, I don’t want to do this.”

  7. Excellent. I can hardly wait to read more. In just a few sentences, you've done a great job of showing Veronica's insecurity as she compared herself to other women. Great way to get the reader to relate. Most of us have done that, I'm sure--compare ourselves to others--so sure we come up short. :-)

  8. Your building the tension week to week. Do it. Don't do it. Do it. Don't do it. Can't wait to see where this goes.
