I received a real scare this morning whe...<b>Hi Teri:</b><br /><br />I received a real scare this morning when I saw that bear! However, it was a fright of a different stripe! <br /><br />My current WIP, <i>“Stranded in a Cabin with a Romance Writer”,</i> starts exactly this way:<br /><br /><b>CHAPTER ONE</b><br /><br />It wasn’t a good day to die. So when Diana Hunter opened the front door of the secluded mountain cabin, she wasn’t pleased when she looked into the eyes of a five hundred pound black bear. <br />Eye-to-eye. <br />Frozen in time. <br />The shock hit before the fear.<br />Diana could smell the bear’s breath. It wasn’t pretty. The fur smelled wet and musky.<br /><i>“I might be dead in a few seconds.” </i><br /> Moo…moo…moo.<br /><i>“Who’s mooing?”</i><br />Dina looked down and saw a bawling bear cub mooing like a human child imitating a cow. <br /> The mama bear peered at her cub.<br />Bam! <br />Diana slammed the door and set the deadbolt. An angry pounding on the door soon followed. The bears intended to stick around.<br /><br />****<br /><br /> This scene originally appeared later in chapter one but several contest judges wanted it to open the book, so I made the change. <br /><br /> <b>BTW:</b> The hero shows up at the cabin on his noisy motorcycle and scares the bears away. He thinks the woman is a tree-hugging talk-to-the-animals type ‘bear lady’ so he apologizes by saying, “I’m sorry if I scared your bears away.”<br /><br /> At least your heroine didn’t face a real bear! My cabin is in Colorado. I’m going to have to read your book to get a feel for the wilderness. I've imported your bear picture into my Scrivener project so it can 'greet' me each time I open the file. Thanks.<br /><br />VinceVincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707773426729777989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-84970596468921639562013-04-08T07:50:38.075-07:002013-04-08T07:50:38.075-07:00Thanks, you all!
