Rainbow Snippets

December 19, 2015 by Elin Gregory

Here’s this week’s snippet. Another excerpt from Calon Lan, my WIP set in 1916. Slightly more than six sentences because this weeks are very short. Nye, who has a considerable chip on his shoulder, is trying to excuse his bad language:

“I would have gone, you know, but farming –“
“I’m glad you didn’t. Look at poor Alwyn.”
“Listen more like.” Nye cut more ham and dipped it in the piccalilli. “How many times did he wake you last night?”
“Only twice.” Bethan looked to the window again and there was Alwyn strolling towards the house, open letter tilted to catch the light for his one good eye.

I’m enjoying the snippets from this story. There are little hints of the time period here and there which I like. I’m going to reading the story in full.

I’m loving every glimpse at this story. Interesting little hints about Alwyn here as well (I also love that name. My grandfather, who was born in the Sirhowy Valley in the 1920s, was an Elwyn).

I wonder how you manage to show so much in just few sentences…

Intriguing, as usual! Think we need more than 6 sentences from you from now on… 😀
