Six Sentence Sunday February 26

Yea! It’s Sunday and time for Six Sentence Sunday

Every week participants post six sentences from something they are writing – or have written. It’s a lot of fun and really a great way to meet new writers!

And I’ve met some terrific people. Thank you !

Be sure to check out the other great participants and thanks so much for stopping by.

 

A year already? It’s been wonderful meeting so many of you, reading your stories and receiving your feedback on mine. Thank you 😀 I’m so glad I joined this writing community!

 

This week I am sharing Nineteen Hundred my first historical short story.

Mrs. Hodgson nodded in his direction, and said, “Welcome Mr. Thomas. Everyone this is our newest resident, Mr. Gideon Thomas, who has taken over Mr. Jackson’s room.”
