Happy Wednesday! I’m finally feeling festive. Still don’t have our tree up, but the kids are preparing some holiday music, and I have a concert this weekend. Should be fun!
I’m slowing down in writing Minuet because Drumbeat is back from my publisher with some suggested edits. These weren’t demands; I asked for some suggestions because I felt the story was lacking. My publisher, being a fabulous human being, gave me great feedback. So instead of simply messing with it and getting more dissatisfied, I now have targeted things to work on. (I’m weird…this is my favorite part.)
I’m still sharing from Minuet, though, and this follows right from last week’s. Amelia asked if Sage was clear on the whole “leave Jamie alone” thing. Amelia still hasn’t shared the dirt she has on Sage, but she’s not above implementing the first part of her plan.
WIPmath: 12/6/2017 = (2-1) + 6 = 7 paragraphs, mostly dialog.
Sage swallowed visibly. “Fine. You have my word, I won’t contact Jamie again.”
“Oh, hell, no. Not good enough,” Mack said.
Amelia smiled meanly. “Get your new man out here.”
“What? No!”
Too late. The beefcake who had spoken from the other room emerged, looked at the doorway, and raised an eyebrow. “Sage, what’s going on?”
“Nothing, baby. I’ll just be a sec.”
Amelia beckoned Mr. Muscles with one finger. Obediently, he came over. Well-trained puppy.

Mr. Muscles. *snort* I just love Amelia more and more.
I’m still not quite feeling the holiday spirit. I’ll get the tree up eventually. Hopefully before Christmas. 😉
LOL. Well, she’s not quite done with Sage (or Mr. Muscles) yet. I’ll post a bit more next time.
I’m usually ready for the tree by Thanksgiving weekend. But we were out of town, and a lot of things didn’t get done.
We’ve gotten as far as taking the tree out of the attic, but not much further than that. Truth be told, each year I’m less and less inspired to put it up at all. The Kidlet like its though, so until the urge fades, we probably will have it up soon.
And the cats will have it on the floor the next day. :-/
Amelia knows exactly what buttons to push, that’s pretty clear.
Yeah, I could do with just a few splashes of holiday color and that’s it. But the kids still love the tree and the decorating, so we do it.
Amelia is sharp. She definitely knows what she’s doing. 🙂
Mr. Muscles…. that is not a term of respect. And the last line… *falls to the floor laughing*
Well, he *is* the sort of guy Sage would go for. If he can’t manipulate them, then he’ll take them muscly and a bit less bright. Amelia is well aware, LOL.
Oh my…I think I’ve met Mr. Muscles before in other people’s entourage. 🙂
Hahaha! Yeah, I’ve met him too. 🙂
You cut that off at the optimum point!
At least I only have to wait two more days to find out what Amelia says/does. 🙂
*one more day.
Ha! I hope she lives up to your expectations. *fingers crossed*
