Weekend Writing Warriors #103!

Hellooooooooo! Happy Sunday! I'm feeling ten thousand times better today. Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes! We're continuing today with Adventures in Online Dating, so without further ado, here goes!

Blurby: After too many failed relationships, too many shots of tequila, and too many not-so-gentle nudges from her best friend, Sydney Montrose joins an online dating site in hopes of finding THE ONE. During her adventures, she crosses paths with a professional gamer who lives with his parents, a sweet and sarcastic parking enforcement officer, a flirty barista, a mystery man, a touchy-feely former felon, and a clown. Which one will she choose? Well, that's all entirely up to you! :-D

And here's an excerpt, continuing from where we left off:

“Trust me,” he said, “everyone is capable of juggling. It’s just a simple pattern you have to mold your brain into memorizing.” He grabbed a few napkins from the dispenser on the table and rolled them into balls.
            Watching Charlie prepare his props and explain the art of juggling brought a smile to her face. The immense joy written in his features left her breathless. She really didn’t give a damn if juggling increased the grey matter in your brain. This man made her heart tick like a time bomb because he did care. He was so full of love and passion and energy. Imagining what his energy would be like in the bedroom increased the ticking to triple time. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors! 

We are now reaching the end of the semester at Adult High School, that dark, scary time when exams happen and marks are due and stress levels become increasingly higher as a result. Weird how they're associated. But the good news? I get to have cake in less than a week! Birthday cake! The best kind of cake there is! :) Wishing you all a productive and exciting week ahead!

  7. happy almost birthday! I'm intrigued once more. I can see why she's falling for Charlie. I never thought a clown could be a hero but you've done an amazing job with him.

  8. A few years back, I was researching juggling for a story I was writing at the time and reading about how good it was for improving cognitive function. Great snippet, Evelyn.
