Single Sentence Meme
Gakked from gryphons_lair and fabu...
If you happen to be working on some creative writing project, fanfiction or NaNoWriMo or what have you, post exactly one sentence from each of your current work(s) in progress in your journal. It should probably be your favourite or most intriguing sentence so far, but what you choose is entirely your discretion. Mention the title (and genre) if you like, but don't mention anything else -- this is merely to whet the general appetite for your forthcoming work(s).
This is more than a single sentence, but ladymora should like it...
...“You’ve been good, then? Behaved yourself an’ all?”
“Oh, aye!” Tom assured his father, gravely. “Except for the cat. And the pies.”
“The cat and the pies!” exclaimed Jack, frowning.
“And therein lies a tale, eh, young Tom?” said Gibbs coming up beside them, grinning.
“Aye, it does that!” Tom grinned back. Then he looked at his father again, and pasted a sober look on, though his brown eyes twinkled in an amazingly familiar way. “’Twas only Duchess, the parti-colored one. I tied goose quills to ‘er tail, an’ first she chased ‘em ‘round an’ ‘round, and then she got scared and ran up a tree!”
In other news, I was considerably depressed by the outcome of the election, along with everyone else around here, though I am so cynical about politics it didn't really surprise me. The world thinks we're idiots.
Life does go on. At least we're having beautiful weather. Fall color and the hills continue to get greener. Have lots to do at work, and the previously quoted NaNoWriMo fic proceeds apace, with lines and plot elements occurring at odd moments. I just need to write it all down! This Paid Employment really cuts into my writing time... *G*
Hugs to all!
