Back again with the usual post of six, approx, sentences from my current WIP, Calon Lan.
Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook group that convenes once a week to share bits of stories, published, unpublished or works in progress, for comment, constructive criticism or because we just feel like sharing. It’s good fun and a great way of getting to know people and showing support. Click the graphic above if you have Facebook and fancy joining in the fun. There should be a post where everyone has deposited their link for this week.
So – my six, as usual following directly on from last week’s. Farmer Nye is bemoaning the difficulty in working the land when all the men have gone off to war.
“I wanted to talk to you about that.” Alwyn’s voice, so rarely used it was just a gruff whisper, was so unexpected that it cut sharply over Nye’s grumbling. “I have a friend who needs a job. Was in my platoon. He’s home, not fit to go down the pit.”
“A miner? What use will a miner be?”
I bloody love this story.
I’m hoping I can make it live up to your expectations now 🙂
ohhh okay now i wanna know more about this friend.
😀 at this rate you’ll meet Joe in – ooh – April or May I should think .
Ah… Intriguing! You snagged my interest with three things in six sentences, which I have to say is pretty good going! 🙂
Three!! Wow. I didn’t know there were 3 things 🙂 thanks lovely
Oooh, love the sound of this. I don’t usually do historical but this has intrigued me.
M/M from a female POV. I think I must have had the wrong sort of mushrooms 🙂
Farmer Nye needs to learn the expression “Beggars can’t be choosers.” I can’t wait to meet his friend and find out why he’s not fit to go down in the pit.
It’ll be a while yet, I’m afraid. 🙂
More, please! Did I mention already that I’m hooked?
Thanks lovely.
I love everything that’s not quite being said in that description of his friend. I look forward to seeing bits of this story every week.
You always have the most intriguing characters. 🙂
Like most of the others, I want to know more about this friend now.
A voice “so rarely used” – how poignant 🙂
