Sunday Snippet – More Than Words – Anonymous Infatuation
Thanks for stopping by to read my Sunday Snippet. This eight-sentence excerpt is from MORE THAN WORDS, a.k.a, the ‘dirty Scrabble’ book, and comes to you as part of the Weekend Writing Warriors meme.
Travis is a rocker who has grown tired of the party scene. We’re in his head here, as he thinks about the woman he just met online — playing Scrabble, of all things.
Fabricating some story was easy enough. The question he couldn’t shake was why some faceless female on a geeky game site had gotten to him. Women threw themselves at him all the time—young ones, old ones, and an incredible amount of smoking-hot ones. Even small-time musicians got laid a lot, freely and without any expectation of commitment. A perk of the job, until it grew old. Now he couldn’t stop thinking about C Ya, wondering exactly what she looked like, where she lived, if she walked around wearing lingerie just for the hell of being sexy. For all he knew, she wasn’t even a she. He ought to give his fucking head a shake.
This week, The Jeep Diva gave MORE THAN WORDS a 4.5 star review!

Great scene. He must watch Catfish. 🙂 At least he’s thinking she could be a phoney but his inner thoughts tell me he’s going to overlook it. It’s the mystery of not knowing that’s getting him, you got that across well. Great 8!

Very nice set-up and indeed wonder if C Ya is a girl at all. Nicely done snippet which makes the reader want to find out if he pursues C Ya.
