Hey ya’ll – phewie what a week! It’s been not stop big stuff. Thank America for voting Obama – you guys had me worried there for a sec.
I’ve been back to work after half-term and trying to maintain my nano momentum. It’s been challenging, but so far so good. Here is a nano snippet following from last week. Please remember this is a first draft, un-edited WiP.
All Bitch
It’s amazing how much you can squeeze into a Mercedes SLK. I slid my legs out of the car, the heels had taken a little getting used to, but they were worth it for the attention stealing click-clack, the way they made my hips roll and the feeling of power they imbued.
I sashayed over to my recently recruited removal men. ‘Oh boys, however will I repay you?’ I smiled, gazing up at them through my lashes and a glazed expression spread over their features. The tall one blushed and rubbed the back of his neck. He was all long limbs and ungainly, like a new born giraffe and he had a small sprout of fuzz on his chin. The other would have been attractive except for his lazy eye. One eye was looking at you and the other was looking for you. It was all I could do to not give him the name of a good surgeon.
Thank you so much for reading – you are all awesome! Pretty please follow the Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday link to find writers posting their own snippets
Until next time.

Hehe, love the tone of this
Thank you Misa. I’m having fun with it.
“One eye was looking at you and the other was looking for you.”
Absolute treasure! I love the voice here. She oozes with newly-discovered female power. Highly entertaining!
Thank you – she is living up to her name-sake!
Newborn giraffe *snort*. Love the description!!
Thanks TK
Great description. Looking forward to more snippets.
I’ve just passed the 16K mark with this one so there should be more to come
Fantastic description here. Love the newborn giraffe line, and the description of the man’s strabismus (I work on a contract for the National Eye Institute). Can’t wait to read more!
Thanks, not sure Selene would be familiar with the terminology though!
Ouch! Power-dressing and the ruthless use of her looks to hold and keep control. Very vivid and effective, and the men are nicely drawn as tools and minions to be commanded. Nice snippet!
She is not ashamed to use her wicked wiles
Thank you for reading and commenting.
“One eye was looking at you and the other was looking for you.” I love it!
Thank you, but I think I’m going to have to cut that as I’m pretty sure I heard it somewhere.
Love the attitude! Great description of the men.
Thanks, I hate it when everyone looks like a supermodel.
Well, that’s one way to get help when you need it.
Selene thinks feminism is outdated.
As I got further into the song, two songs started playing in my head: The Runaways’ “Cherry Bomb,” and “Heartbreaker” by Pat Benetar. So, I hope that explains the tone this read for me. I loved it. I’m with Anna on the details of the men: great.
Chantal, I laughed out loud!! Ha!
And, I always feel powerful in my heels, too.

Woohoo! I’m funny
Thank you Heidi for your lovely comments – I used to be able to run in heels but I’m not sure I could even walk gracefully in them now!
Aw, poor lazy-eye man! Wonderful snippet as always!
Ta very much
LMAO!
Yay
