we're being taken for a ride again
Meme time!
1. Go to page 77 (or 7) of your current manuscript.
2. Go to line 7
3. Copy down the next 7 lines - sentences or paragraphs - and post them as they’re written.
4. Encourage other people to do it!
The story I'm currently working on is my queer_fest fic, which is... nowhere near seven pages as of yet. So instead, you get a snippet of another work in progress:
The woman frowned. “He said he wanted his next album to be acoustic. I’m not sure if the money’s really in it, but...” She shrugged. “It seems to have worked for other people. I’m willing to give it the old college try.”
“It’s not just that, ma’am,” Steve said.
(Ye Olde Context: Long, long ago, we were going to do a
milliways_bar plot about the hunt for Robert Johnson's guitar, but then RL intervened, as did LJ shenanigans, so I'm repurposing some of what we had as a fic. It so happened that six of the seven lines at line seven on page seven are the guy who has the guitar's manager; Claudia and Steve (who wasn't even on the show when we first started this plot; tells you how long this has been stewing) are trying to secure a time to talk to him.)
In other news: Of course Mercury's in retrograde now! No wonder it took like five tries to work out who was trying to start my grandparents' lawnmower (thanks for the follow-through, Dad...)! (Mostly throwing this is for gratuitous tag use. I don't get the chance much.)
Also, dear Once Upon a Time: Roger Daltrey did not guest star in sunday's episode. He had a cameo. It was a hilarious cameo, but that's all it was.
