Hi! Welcome to another Weekend Writing Warrior round. Every week writers post 8 sentences on their blogs from a published or unpublished book. Then we "hop" around and leave comments on each other's snippets. Whether our work is already published or in progress, the helpful comments help us become stronger writers on our next WIP. We welcome EVERYONE's comments.
I'm introducing snippets from
More Than a Friend, a part of
The Many Faces of Chelle Cordero, a short-story collection which exemplifies (I hope) the diversity of my writing.
More Than a Friend is a short story based on a manuscript of the same name (which has never been published) This manuscript was co-authored by my sister, Barbara Cordero Du-Bois, and me. I re-wrote it as a short story because I wanted my characters to LIVE.
Everyone was left upset by Loretta's angry outburst. Mandy was so distraught she locked herself in the bathroom; Janis convinces her to let her in and the two women have a private but emotional chat. Next week I'll skip ahead a little in the story, but for now ...the 8 sentences:
“I am so sorry for what my mom said,” Mandy reached for Janis’
hand when she tried to shrug it off. “No, you’ve had to put up with entirely
too much crap, I love my brother and I miss him so much… but Janis, I know who
he was.”
“Of course you miss him, he was your brother.”
“No Janis. I know about the… argument, Billy called me that
night. He had a while to sober up and he felt terrible, he was worried that you
would never forgive him.”
She was breathless. “What did Billy tell you?” She felt her
throat tightening and fought to hold back tears.
