Six Sentence Sunday

Welcome to another Six Sentence Sunday! Thanks to everybody who stopped by last week. The comments are always welcome and appreciated. I had to laugh at some of them. Alex's comment was definitely all said in jest. Those who said the wife in question must be feisty were correct. The heroine, Becca, is a third degree black belt and can take any of her brothers to the mat. You definitely don't control Becca. Alex is her oldest brother, and he knows this.

Decided to continue with this scene. It's one of my favorites. I had to cut a couple of lines in order to keep this snippet at 6 and still have it make sense. But this in response to Alex in last week's six.



Chase nudged Jackson’s good arm with an elbow. “That coming from the man who dances as well as his wife.” He turned his head to the right and raised his voice. “You’re keeping up awful well over there, Alex.”

Alex cleared his throat, but didn’t look away or so much as miss a step. “I’ve been taking private lessons for years.”




Thanks again for stopping by! Don't forget to go the Six Sunday website to read all the other great snippets!

  5. It did read very naturally. The scene flowed very well; you couldn't even tell you had to cut anything to keep it within the sentence constraints. Great job and thanks for sharing :)

    And thanks for stopping by my blog today!

  6. Hmm... I'm curious about who Chase is and why he's needling Alex. Thanks for sharing!
