I was tagged by the lovely Nicolette Elzie and the lovely Natalie K. to do the 7/7/7 snippet challenge – in other words find page 7 of your manuscript, scroll down 7 lines, and then share the next 7 lines in a blog post.
Then tag 7 other writers with blogs to continue the challenge.
This is from The Making of Gabriel Davenport, which is now in its final editor revisions, and will be flying the nest in 2016!
The house dozed, warmed by the sun and sleepy shadows cut across the floors from the odd shaped roof and internal walls. Everything was soft and golden and safe.
She shivered as she carefully closed Gabriel’s door. A cold draught licked at her ankles again and she didn’t have to search to know where it came from.
This was the ideal time to empty the suitcases and sort all the things they had bought on their holiday. The time management part of her brain whirred into action. Maybe Stu opened the window before he went off to work? But she couldn’t come up with a reason why.
Tagging the following talented writers/bloggers!
Please don’t feel pressured to do the tag, but if you do let me know so that I can devour your words!

Great snippet of your work, and thanks for tagging me 🙂 I don’t know when I’ll have the time for this but I’ll see if I can’t do this early next year 🙂
No worries at all, lovely. There’s no pressure, just do it if you get a chance! And thank you so much 🙂
I’d love to do it, I’ll probably do it on Wednesday or Thursday next week 🙂
I’ll be looking out for it! 🙂
If I remember I’ll let you know 🙂
“He will be flying the nest”…. So you found a publisher? 😀 😀 😀
No, I’m self publishing 🙂 Both scary and exciting all at the same time!
I know the feeling!!! And YAY to the book becoming published!!! On Amazon? I’ll give you a nice review once it’s out. 😀 How far are you in the process? I’m very happy for you! Have a great Sunday. 😀
We can swap notes! Yes, it will be on Amazon 🙂 (and I’m still on my editor’s final edits) and thanks so much for offering to review. That would make me very happy! Have a wonderful week, lovely 🙂
