The Rules:
Go to page 77 of your current MS/WIP.
Go to line 7.
Copy down the next 7 lines--sentences or paragraphs--and post them on your blog.
Tag 7 authors and let them know ;-)
Here's mine from EXTRACTION:
----------------
I don’t know what I will find, but I will look regardless.
“What're you—” Oliver starts, but something distracts him, and then I don’t hear him anymore. Moss and jungle leaves muffle gunshots.
The canopy of branches overhead makes it darker in here, harder to see where I’m running. I stumble; I pick myself back up. A body appears behind a tree trunk, teetering toward me. Then another with an arm outstretched, reaching for my face. I gasp and try to shoot it down, but I don't wait to see if it works.
I search for the tallest tree.
---------------------------
Anyone who's interested in this meme is tagged, because I'm too lazy to go through and find people. :P
I love that first line. It hooks me right on in. Best wishes!
