I actually have a WiP that's reached 7 pages - 20, to be exact. It's two years old, which is when I stopped writing, except for something I started last year that's...one page. *sigh* Anyway, here are 7 sentences from page 7 of my trope-reversal Kaner/Tazer story that I would love to finish but don't seem to be able to. (The trope being the whole "can't tell a lie" thing reversed to "can't tell the truth." Or something. It was evolving, okay?
(Plus it's written during the lockout, when everyone thought Kaner was an asshole, so of course they believe his lies. Aaaand there may be more reasons than writer's block as to why I haven't been able to finish it.)
Pat shakes his head. "I have a brain tumor." He doesn't look like he's kidding at all, and Jon feels his heart give a couple of big thumps before it settles back down to normal.
"What?" He fumbles for words, not having the slightest idea how to argue with someone's claim that they have a brain tumor, even if it's Kaner and he's probably lying. "You don't - you can't possibly have a brain tumor, Kaner," he says firmly. "That's ridiculous." And won't he feel like an asshole if it's not ridiculous, but true.
