Hello, My Name is Meme
I'm doing something similar to this over on Penumbra today, only there, it's one sentence from the book and we're putting them all together to make a short "flash fiction" story. It's a lot of fun. Drop by if you want to participate.
In the meantime, I've been keeping my head down and my fingers flying on the keyboard. My first book signing was a sell-out. I've sold a contemporary romance novella, though it will be in ebook format only. RWA Nationals is looming. I have submission requests for SEASON OF THE WITCH, the current WIP. The Only graduated with honors and starts her MA this summer. The wedding is six months away. *flail* I'm soooo not ready for that. Good thing she's doing all the planning.
So now to the meme stolen from just_the-ash:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
The nearest book just happens to be my own, FAERIE FATE. Gee, I wonder why it's propped up just above my monitor? *gigglesnort* So...page 123, from the sixth sentence...
She moved and Ciaran's arms tightened around her. He growled softly in his sleep. "You're as bad as the dogs," she complained. "I'm just checking the bandage." She fought loose from his embrace and sat up. She pulled away the cover and wasn't surprised to find Ciaran aroused. "I swear," she swore under her breath, "all he thinks about is tupping."
Oh, lord! I want to rewrite that last line so bad, LOLOL! "I swear," she swore... *GROAN* Now...go forth and illuminate us with what you're reading. :D
