Six More: Just One Look

Hi, and welcome!

I've completed about three fourths of the first draft of what I hope will become Just One Look, a sequel to Against the Wind. This is from Drew's point of view, as he's getting ready for his sister's (Blair's) wedding to Michael. I posted the first six sentences of the novella last week. Please take a look if you missed that. Comments are welcome. Here are today's six:

     Other than his sister, mother and grandmother, his own family--God help them all, Uncle Benjamin at a wedding--was too much.
     Michael's family, whom he'd met last night at the rehearsal dinner, seemed nice, friendly. The younger sister, over the top bubbly, had exhausted him. The older one should have been seated next to Uncle Benjamin. Well, they were Blair's problem, not his.

Be sure to check out other Six Sunday participants at Six Sunday for some great very short reads.

I really love Drew's comments -- esp. how he was exhausted by the over-the-top bubbly sister. LOL I'm looking forward to reading the whole story!

Ah, families! Nothing like a wedding to bring them together, and make things interesting.

Where would a writer be without dysfunctional families. Poor Drew! I like him already. Fun six.

Poor Drew indeed. Some members of his family are more than interesting (I hope). Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for stopping by, Joyce. I'm a bit behind responding, having been out of town for a few days.
