This week's sample are six more sentences from my National Novel Writing Month work-in-progress, One Shade of Red. As you've probably guessed, it's a parody of the inexplicable best-seller, Fifty Shades of Grey.
The action in this excerpt follows the six sentences from two weeks ago.
I couldn’t look at the pool, because I couldn’t stop looking at her. I felt like I was in junior high again. The only word that came into my mind was: stacked. There were acres of bare skin.

She looked at me, eyebrows raised, and I realized that she was waiting for me to say something.
Like it? Hate it? Think the whole idea is ill-advised? Can't wait to read it? Leave a comment!
Six Sentence Sunday is a continuing blog hop; authors who have blogs post six-sentence excerpts from their published works or their works-in-progress on Sunday morning, and list the link on the Six Sentence Sunday website. Check it out — there are a lot of excellent writers promoting some fine work.
By the way, I really enjoyed doing the photo research for this post. Try Googling "red string bikini" yourself someday.
