Today is #sixsunday where writers share six sentences from their work. 
Angela Quarles | Geek girl romance writer 
Jessica Subject
/ August 19, 2012A cute six! 🙂
L.j. Kentowski
/ August 19, 2012Damn, I hate it when they get dressed! Great 6!
Donna Cummings
/ August 19, 2012Drat, indeed! Oh well — I’m sure the cravat can come off again. 🙂
Stephanie/Elise
/ August 19, 2012Love this! That simple word, “Drat,” says so much about her character.
Krystal Shannan (@KrystalShannan)
/ August 19, 2012Fun six 🙂
Cara Bristol
/ August 19, 2012I’m enjoying the voice and tone of this piece.
Joyce Scarbrough
/ August 19, 2012I agree with the other commentors. The fun tone comes through with just a few words. Great six as usual!
Jess Schira
/ August 19, 2012Fun six!
Owllady/Marcia
/ August 19, 2012I expect now that she can’t see part of him, she’ll be thinking about it and maybe about how to more of his clothes off 🙂 I like her personality.
Kate
/ August 19, 2012Her disappointment is so entertaining!
Linda Morris (@LMorrisWriter)
/ August 19, 2012Donna stole my response: Drat, indeed! Hopefully she’ll get to see his collarbone and much more later!
Angela Quarles
/ August 19, 2012😉
Kate Meader (@KittyMeader)
/ August 19, 2012Love this six, especially that final “Drat.” I’d be tempted to move that to the next line for extra emphasis.
Angela Quarles
/ August 19, 2012ooh, good suggestions, thanks! It’s all in the pacing/timing, isn’t it?
Mae Clair
/ August 19, 2012Such a fun six, Angela! I am so enjoying this one! 🙂
S. J. Maylee
/ August 19, 2012Indifferent style, interesting, he’s captivated by his present company. Love the drat, it puts her feelings on full show.
Carrie-Anne
/ August 19, 2012Very cute six! I love what it reveals about their characters.
Dee Carney
/ August 19, 2012LOL! Love the “drat.”
Sarah W
/ August 19, 2012I personally adore a good collarbone on a man . . . 🙂
Joanne Stewart
/ August 19, 2012Hehe. Love the last line. Great six!
Jenna Jaxon
/ August 19, 2012I find it interesting that Rawley ties his cravat in an “indifferent style.” Love that little character note. And the fact that she noticed the style (or lack thereof) but is more interested in what it covered up. Fun six!
Silver James
/ August 19, 2012😆 I love her last mental comment! Drat indeed!
ChristineWarner
/ August 19, 2012Great six…that last word says so much!
jamieayres
/ August 19, 2012Hahaha, I love this dialogue! P.S. Just to make you jealous, thought I’d let you know the fam and I are attending Star Wars Celebration VI in Orlando this coming weekend . . . I’ll be sure to blog about it:-)
Angela Quarles
/ August 19, 2012Oh cool!, yes, please blog about it!! Have fun!!
Paula Martin
/ August 19, 2012Love that last word! It made me laugh.
ellaquinnauthor
/ August 19, 2012I agree. Loved the last word. Very cute six.
Elin Gregory
/ August 19, 2012So none of that nonsense about a “Mathematical” or “Waterfall” tie for him. I LIKE Rawley. Am still a bit wary of Loki though. That name+monkey can’t bode well.
sueannbowlingauthor
/ August 19, 2012I too loved the last word, too, but I’m still trying to picture Loki’s oyster shell armor.
DasNuk
/ August 19, 2012Great job and a very funny and cute punch line at the end!
Carrie Crain
/ August 19, 2012Such cuteness and lightheartedness. Cute, cute!!
Sue
/ August 19, 2012Drat indeed, indifferent style or not
Ryan Derham
/ August 19, 2012So her first peek at man’s “collarbone”?? Er, you really did mean collarbone! Lol Awesome six, Angela! I love these characters and the voice here. Nicely done!
Amy Durham
/ August 19, 2012Love the way her mind words… “Drat!” Your heroine comes across as spunky, which I like!
Frank Fisher
/ August 19, 2012Love the last line…I take it he doesn’t like to be fully clothed? Fun six Angela!
J.M. Blackman
/ August 19, 2012I like that his style was indifferent; it’s nice to see how much attention she pays to his movements. Like the details and love their dialogue.
Sandra Sookoo
/ August 19, 2012Dang it! LOL Loved it!
Teresa Cypher
/ August 19, 2012“Drat.” Love it, Angela! That Loki–what a catalyst 😉
Lila Shaw
/ August 19, 2012Oh, phooey, no more glimpses of bare neck and the v portion of his chest. Loved the ‘drat’.
veronicascott
/ August 20, 2012We can only hope he becomes indecently um clothed again at some point LOL! Really enjoying this story from all aspects, terrific six!
Curt Rowe (@soriyo)
/ August 22, 2012Wouldn’t you say “in an indifferent style” if you are referring to the style of the tie? I read “with an indifferent style” as how he goes about tying it, much like saying “with indifference”. Not an expert so take this with a grain of salt.
Not what I typically read, but the lines made me curious as to what happened next especially ending it in “drat”.
themadwarlock
/ August 26, 2012Its such a tight six, and the simple Drat ties it up perfectly. I’ve never written steampunk, but I’m so intrigued by it, I’ll definitely want to read more.
sarahballance
/ September 1, 2012This is a most intriguing scene – I love it!
