Meme!
The WIP meme, gakked from... about half of my friends list actually...
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).
On a few I've done more than a whole sentence. Mostly because context can, occasionally, be everything.
“Jesus, Justin. Don’t you even know why Sgt. Pepper is so good? It’s fucking-Have you ever heard what John said about A Day in the Life? Paul wrote ‘I’d love to turn you on.’ Paul wrote that. And John, said. He said something. He said it was the best damn line in the song. It made the song. The best thing about A Day in the Life is that they wrote it together. They wrote Sgt. Pepper together and George finally got a great damn song. And it was the first them album-only it wasn’t. But it was their masterpiece. They made it together.” -Sgt. Fucking Pepper
Justin stuck his head out of the shower curtain. “Dude, you can’t blame me for everything Chris does. He has no sense of time. I do. Except for when I’m drunk. And really, at the time, it felt like an emergency.” -Dickens
"That's cool, man. It's cool." Justin smiled.
Lance smiled back because they both knew it really probably wasn't. -Have You Ever
Justin, himself, is proof that things did inevitably change. With head shaved, body sculpted, heart broken Justin has become a man.
There are no boys in this boy band. -In Geography You Find Your Answers
Love felt like a lie and sex was the only honest intercourse Justin could stand having with the opposite sex. -Not Strictly Straight
Justin doesn't wear his shards on the outside for everyone to see. -What You Need
He still plays ‘Stairway to Heaven’ as badly as he had when he first tried to teach himself. There are some things Lance never gets any better at. -Strings
He's as connected to Chris as she is, even though she's sprawled between his legs, her hands on Chris's zipper, her mouth nearly at skin. -Waiting
Justin suggested that JC try willing the ants away. It was some self-help rhetoric he'd picked up in a book about positive visualization or something. JC was supposed to envision the ants gone and they would leave. JC tried to visualize the ants away and, if anything, the invasion was stepped up a notch. JC tried to visualize Chris and Lance away but that didn't work so much either. -Invasion!
"I'm not gay. I'm not."
It's like the chorus to a song he knows and he thinks he can sing the harmony. -not with a bang
“Not a big deal?” JC whispered harshly. “Justin, Jesus, when something goes wrong with the pyrotechnics then something goes wrong. You can’t just fix it.” -Shine
He wakes up sometimes and he can hear his real mother saying "he's mine." It's a memory, he's sure, one that constantly evades; skirts the edge of his mind. -unseelie
