Hi everyone!
This week is my third time with the Weekend Writing Warriors. Here’s 8 sentences from one of my current WIPs, The Voyage of the Inara Marue.
"Thrown out? I doubt that very
much, sir." He reached into his jacket, muscles bulging around the tight
fabric and drew out an envelope. "Executive Order 2163-1349 covers
everything. We have been given the authority to take this piece of equipment
from you and do with it what we will."
Hell, I was just a piece of
equipment now. Since when had I lost my humanity? Even as my brain became more
scrambled, I knew what I was.
The novel is a sci-fi with romantic elements, It’s
about a woman who was physically and genetically modified without her
permission. Her modifications are many, like limbs, eyes and nanites flowing
through her body. She was built for a special mission but those in power at the
military want her for something very different and it’s not for the good of
mankind.
Hope you
enjoyed my Sunday 8. Now to get to the other WeWriWa authors this week, just

Interesting premise, Lynn. I don't always care for 1st person POV but I think it benefits your story. I feel for the poor woman knowing that she might be the only one who still thinks of her as a person.
ReplyDeleteI'm wildly intrigued by this story and can't wait to read more. I want your heroine to figure things out and get her life back! I'm on her side all right. Great 8 today.
ReplyDeleteVery intriguing premise!! I love it. Very much look forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteSci Fi is one of my guilty pleasures and you really caught my interest.
ReplyDeleteGreat 8.
I like it, Lynn! I have a special place in my heart for scifi/romance :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling frustrated for her...great eight.
ReplyDeleteThe story sounds fabulous and love the 8 sentences. Can't wait to get on board the Inara Marue
ReplyDeleteOwllady,
ReplyDelete1st person can be hard to read but I love to write it. It's very easy when the only eyes you look through is the main character.
And you've described exactly what I want a reader to feel. Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks, Veronica. Getting her life back will take some doing...but it's definitely on the agenda.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the premise. When your writing, it's so hard to tell if a story will be received well or not.
Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks, J.A., that really means a lot from another sci-fi affectionaido!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
Great, Teresa! Can't wait to share more!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Millie.
ReplyDeleteThis may be weird to say but I'm glad you're feeling her frustration. It will get better but it will take time.
Thanks, Nina...I'm putting the ship together as we speak. I just love the way an author can take what they know, look at the newest innovations, tweak them then come out with something totally awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm trying to do now...get a totally great ship together.
Thanks for stopping by!
I think you have an interesting premise, and the last line was quite the cliffhanger. I'm curious to see where you take this story.
