Weekend Writing Warriors #86!

Happy, happy Sunday, my friends! Welcome back to another weekend of writing and warrior-ing! You all look fabulous in your battle attire. I'll be sharing another excerpt from Adventures in Online Dating, but first, here's a blurb!

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! 

And here's an excerpt, skipping ahead a little bit (and yes, I was a bit playful with my punctuation): 

With a few more clicks Joe was revealed, in all his bare-chested glory. “Be nice,” Sydney warned.

            Grace cocked her head to the side. “I’m sorry, I may be more tipsy than I think I am, but is he not wearing a shirt?”

            “Yeah, I know it’s kinda lame, but do you see his body?”

            “Oh, hello, pecs; lovely to see you; abs of steel, so kind of you to make an appearance; chiseled jaw and perfectly sculpted biceps, I’ll be dreaming of you tonight....”

            Sydney burst with laughter. “You’re drunk.”

            “Let’s see more, let’s see more!”

I'm off to a surprise 91st birthday celebration for my grandma today! We've rounded up the troops, we've ordered the cakes (yes, multiple cakes), and Mother Nature has done her part with the beautiful sunshine and spectacular fall colours. Can't wait to see her face when she sees her whole family gathered on the lawn to celebrate. Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead! :)

Weekend Writing Warriors #85!

Hello to you and you and you! Happy Sunday! Today I'll be sharing yet another excerpt from Adventures in Online Dating! 

Here's the blurb: 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! 

And here's an excerpt, continuing from where we left off (Grace is speaking first):

            “Oh, here we go. This is what Charlie’s looking for in a partner: Beautiful eyes that tell me how much you care.” She rolled her own eyes. “Is he for real?”

            Sydney read the next bullet point. “Someone to share my love with.”

            “Our two hearts will beat as one...Oh my God!” Grace blurted. “The man is a Lionel Ritchie song!”

Weekend Writing Warriors #84!

Greetings, my friends and fellow authors! Happy Sunday to you! I'm gonna share another excerpt from Adventures in Online Dating today, but first, here's a blurb:

And heeeere's an excerpt, continuing from where we left off (best friend Grace is speaking in the first paragraph, FYI): 

            “Okay, let’s get into the nitty-gritty stuff.” She clicked on Charlie’s bio and scrolled down. “Whoa, what is with his occupation? It says he’s a Children’s Entertainer. What, like, is he one of The Wiggles or something?”

            “Does it matter?”

            “No, not really, but he might be a bit squirmy in bed.”

            Sydney playfully shoved her friend. “Okay, moving past his occupation now....”

Weekend Writing Warriors #83!

Hi there! Happy Sunday to you! Today I'll be sharing another excerpt from Adventures in Online Dating.

Here's a brief blurb: 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 heeeeeere's an excerpt, continuing from where we left off: 

“Okay, let’s check out Charlie first and then we’ll give G.I. Joe a thorough inspection.”

            Sydney slid closer to her so she could help her friend navigate faster through the profiles. “That’s him.”

            “Ahh, he’s a ginger. Dimples--always a good thing. Oooh, look at him posing with kids in one of his profile pics. Smooth move, bud. I hope they’re not yours.”

            “No, it says in the caption they’re his nephews.”

            “That’s acceptable.”

I've spent a very generous portion of my weekend catching up on episodes of Outlander and drooling over the heavenly deliciousness that is Jamie. I would very much like to marry him--or Sam Heughan. If any of you know how I can go about doing that, please help a sister out. I'll even invite you to the wedding. ;) Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead!
