Now it’s time to say goodbyyyye…
Yes, that’s how I’m figuring out my math this week for WIPpet Wednesday. This is the last week that Torn is officially a work in progress. Tomorrow I upload the final version to Amazon, and that’s it. And because WIPpet Wednesday demands that we match our snippet to the day’s calendar/date in some way, I’m going to give you a goodbye… well, it’s almost goodbye.
Chapter 4, Rowan’s POV.
“I’m going to miss you,” I whispered.
I kissed him hard, fiercely, trying to force every word we hadn’t spoken, every opportunity we’d been denied, and everything we’d miss after he left into a single gesture and moment.
His magic surrounded me, cold and dark, as familiar to me as my own. I always noticed it in these moments, when our bodies and hearts entwined. He said mine was like sunshine, bright and warm and filled with promise. I found his no less beautiful for its chill, and wished I could keep it with me after he left.
*sniffles*

And with that, I leave you. It’s time to get back to work, to finish the last-minute touch-ups. I’m really enjoying this read-through. Less than two weeks until everyone else can do the same!
What are you all up to this week?

Love your imagery, Kate!!!

Oh man. Two emotional WIPpets in a row. The WIPpeteers are trying to get me in touch with my feminine side today, it seems.
Sniffles for the characters. All that togetherness and they have to leave each other. Yuck. 😦 I’d offer to add my hugs in there, but thinking they’d prefer I not intrude.

Aw, these two. And that’s all I’ll say for now.
Down to the last minutes, though! So exciting. *throws confetti*

Goodbyes are HARD – at least this one is beautiful! Good luck on that release, that I’m sure you’ve pressed send on by now.
Can’t wait to see what’s on offer for next week! =D

Naw! I love this line ” I found his no less beautiful for its chill, and wished I could keep it with me after he left.”
March 20th, 2015 at 8:11 pm
Sweet sadness – nicely done!

How sweet, I like the beauty in the dark thing going. She loves his chills, it reminds of a hot guy playing a cold lead. Like Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians ( a crush on animation men every now and then). And for some reason this excerpt really goes with the feel of your blog theme. A romantic one with nature thing. It could be just me, love the excerpt.

I totally get crushes on animated guys. You are not alone. 🙂

Such a beautiful snippet. I can’t wait until I can read Torn!
