Welcome to my first Weekend Writing Warriors ~ Snippet Sunday post! In so long, we’re just going to start from the beginning and call it number one! I’ve missed participating with such an amazing group of authors who post an 8-10 line snippet of their work every weekend and I’m excited to be back!
For my first snippet, I’m starting over at the very beginning of Meanmna: Book One of the Daearen Realms. Sarette is hanging out with her best friend, Mathew and has just finished describing him, to make it short; he’s really hot.
Too bad we’ve known each other since we were in diapers. You can’t have feelings for someone you’ve known that long. It’s kind of creepy, not unlike those people who counted the days until Miley Cyrus or Selena Gomez turned eighteen.
“Earth to Sarette.” Mathew was holding my coat in his outstretched hands. “Where’d you go this time?”
“Nowhere. Just remembering when you peed in my bed.” I grabbed my coat from him and ran down the stairs from my attic bedroom.
“I was three, and that was fourteen years ago!”
That’s pretty much their relationship in a nutshell. I hope you enjoyed this week’s snippet! Let me know in the comments below! Check back in next week for Weekend Writing Warriors ~ Snippet 2 of Meanmna: Book One of the Daearen Realms!
But, if you can’t wait for next week…
Seventeen-year-old Sarette has always thought of her life as average, even a bit boring. She does well in school, has a loving mother and a loyal best friend, Mathew. Of course, she has her problems as well—cold Michigan winters, a long-lost father she knows nothing about, and the lack of a boyfriend. She also has the vague sensation that she is being watched by some unseen entity, but figures that means she’s average and crazy.
Nothing could be further from the truth . . .
Daearen isn’t much different than the human world.
Imagine a world where science is replaced with magic.

Have an awesome weekend everybody!
Great teaser 😉
Thank you!
She sure does know how to flirt with a guy!
lol. thanks!
Haha! You’re establishing great chemistry right away. Good character building, Emmy.
Welcome back! It’s so good to see you here!
Thank you! It’s good to be back!
LOL … liked the snippet … and the short description: he is hot! 🙂
Welcome back!
Thank you!
Love the comeback. Definitely a passion-killer!
Thanks!
Hey Emmy, nice to see you back 🙂 Some great characterization here, their interaction flows easily. That’s how memorable characters happen! Looking forward to next week’s excerpt.
Thank you!
Haha, that cracked me up. It’s true, peeing in the bed will put a damper on the romance. Too bad it was so long ago. Or maybe that’s good. 🙂
Thanks!
Okay, I’m hooked. Gotta see where their relationship goes from here. Glad you came back!
Thanks! Glad to be back!
Love the interaction between them. She may try to convince herself it’s creepy to be attracted to someone you have known since diapers but I get the impression she is – and this creates great tension. 🙂 Look forward to reading more.
Thank you!
Welcome back! I remember this story and look forward to getting caught up on it again!
Thanks!
Well that was an awkward reminiscence! But effective….great snippet.
Thank you!
Great snippet. Her way of thinking made me smile. Are we perhaps going to have friends to lovers in this one? 😉
Thank you! You’ll have to wait and see!
Welcome Back, Emmy. What a tease of a peek! Loved it.
Thank you!
LOL A woman never forgets. 😀 Great snippet, Emmy. 🙂
Thank you!
Really enjoyed the playfulness of this scene.
Thanks!
LOL! What I want to know is this: If he was three than how old was she that she remembers it? I sense these two are close like brothers and sisters growing up like that.
You’ll find out next week!
Fun exchange. You do indeed capture their relationship in a nutshell, as you said!
Thanks Jeff!
