Six Sentence Sunday #2!

Outside his dressing room, Neal met up with his roadie Phil, coming from the opposite direction.

“Now you’re cool with everything?” Phil said. “Not nervous?”

Neal laughed. “What for, she’s just a woman, right? All she can do is turn me down in front of fifty thousand people.”
-------------------------
Continuing my Six Sentence Sunday from two weeks ago. While the sentences involve characters from my novel WIP, I’m not currently planning to include the scene in the novel. I’m just having fun seeing where the scene goes.

About the characters: Neal roadied for the band then was asked to join. He started as drummer but has been learning guitar. He’s outgoing, has been involved in a charitable foundation in the city where he lives, and loves attention. His girlfriend was raised in a small town, works happily out of the public eye as a chef, and takes pains to avoid attention when she travels with Neal. Yeah, life for these two is not smooth sailing!

Thank you to anybody who stopped by today. I appreciate it.

  2. Hi Paula. Nice of you to drop in. Even if she does turn him down, he's persistent :)

  3. Tidy, as we say round here. I like the sound of the characters from your description. Neal seems fairly confident while accepting that he could be humiliated. I like that in a man.

  8. Thanks everybody. SSS is turning out to be useful for a number of things, not the least of which is learning how to be succinct. It's a lot of fun!
