It's Wednesday!

(sort of, really sorry I’m late!)

Some of us are feeling tired and run-down. Some of us can't wait for the weekend to finally come. And some of us have already thrown our plot bunnies into the ether.

But never fear, Quick Quill Quotes is here!

Take up your Biros and Ballpoints! Brandish your sharpener and retrieve that dreaded red marker from its dusty corner! Flex those fingers!


The current week's theme is: Beginnings

This can be anything related to Beginnings. Is there a new friendship emerging? An epic journey about to be commenced? Or have you got a witty paragraph to open your story you’re feeling ridiculously proud of?

We’ll love to read anything you give us!

So give us a snippet of a current piece you're working on, don't be shy! Whether there's only one word related to the theme or it's a devoted sonnet, we want to hear about it.

Don’t have anything related to this weeks theme? No problem. A new drabble within the word limit is an excellent contribution as well! Only got 50 words? So what? Every word counts!

Entering and Rules

The snippet or drabble must be 400 words or under. It should be a new drabble OR from a current work. It should also, however loosely, be related to this weeks theme.

To participate, simply leave your contribution as a comment below.

Posting will close Wednesday 25th September at 00.00 GMT

Don't be afraid to cheer on your fellow writers!

Good Luck!

Note: Well done everyone that took part in the ‘Welcome Back to Hogwarts challenge. We had some really good responses on the two posts included. I hope you’ll all continue to participate in QQQ :D

Watch out for the 'Last Wednesday of the Month' special QQQ next week!

Sometimes you have to take a chance. You have to take that step forward into the unknown. Sometimes you have to put your pride on the line, knowing that you won't have one when you are finished.

"Potter."

"Yes, Malfoy."

"Thank you." Your heart trembles as you open yourself for whatever backlash is coming. You wonder what’s going to happen next.

He puts out his hand. You take it firmly into yours. "You're welcome."

You begin to breathe again. His hand lingers in yours for a minute. He gazes at you with emerald eyes. Your heart pounds for another reason.

Very nice. I like the feeling the second person gives :) It makes it that little bit more tense.

Thank you. It is typically not a way that I write. Drives me crazy most of the time. Couldn't help it coming out this way.
