Over the last couple of week I’ve been tagged by three people – Traci Kenworth, Jennifer Fischetto and Vanessa Barger, so I thought it was about time I stopped fannying about and stepped up to the mark.
So, after a bit of a false start earlier today, here are seven lines from the seventh line down on the 77th page of my wip.
Igor shifts in his seat. “A code?” He glances at me. I press my lips together, biting down on the compressed flesh. That’s not good news. A language can be translated. But a code must be cracked.
Father Conrad folds his arms. “Who are you? Really.”
I catch my breath. But Igor smiles. “What makes you think we are anything other than who we say we are?”
The old man fixes him with a steely glare.
I’m only just starting to make more writer friends outside my crit group, so apologies if you have already been tagged. In case you haven’t you have to:
1. Go to page 77 of your current MS/WIP
2. Go to line seven
3. Copy down the next seven lines, sentences, or paragraphs, and post them as they’re written.
4. Tag seven authors
5. Let them know
So the writers I’m tagging are:
Miranda Buchanan http://neverasthecrowflies.blogspot.co.uk/
