Hey, Snippetteers! — seems like I’m always apologizing for absences lately, but this apology is a little different, because I finally know what’s going on with me. I have a diagnosis of adult onset Attention Deficit Disorder, and I won’t bore you with everything that that implies (I’m going to try to write a regular blog post later to do that!) but the short form version is that since November I’ve been really, really lucky to write 100 words or so a night. But I’m on meds for it now, and starting to do better. So here’s a Snippet for y’all, and just for fun I’m not going to tell you ANYTHING about what’s going on.

Eyelids fluttered, then closed. “Too cold.” Only a Fae could have heard Terry’s whisper. “Le’ me sleep.”

Intense visual, filled with sensual detail!
Brrr…wow. Poor Terry!
Wow. That left me breathless out of sympathy for poor Terry. What on earth has he got himself into now?
Sweet and sensual scene. I really need to get all the Soul Shares books and read them…
You can all but feel the cold in this.
Ooh, well done! And I love the cold! 🙂
Don’t let him sleep! Don’t let him sleep! Great snippet, Rory, and congrats on finding out what’s wrong. Good writing to you. 🙂
That makes me cold just reading it! Poor Terry.
