Lupercalia: Weekend Write'thon
All right, my toothsome lovelies. The weekend has officially begun, give or take a time zone, and it's time for Madcakes' first Weekend Write'thon. (My fragile bits, they are a'quivering.)
Weekend Write'thon
Goal: 1,500-3,000 words
Time limit: Saturday-Sunday
Rules:
1.You must use 2 of the sentences below; at least one of the sentences must be either the first or last in your story. (Bonus points if you use one as your first sentence and one as your last.)
2.You may change the tense of the sentences.
3.You may not add to or shorten the sentence.
1.The window broke on his third try.
2.“Shut up and get in the van.”
3.Any halfbreed mutt could smell where this was heading.
4.“That's the third potentially traumatizing thing you've said tonight: thank you.”
5.A bat out of hell, he thought, had nothing on a wolf off the freeway.
6.“Don't eat anyone.”
7.But how would he explain the claw marks?
8.“Yes, of course, because nudity solves everything.”
9.It was the sort of shot a paparazzo would sell his liver to get.
10.Flattery, flattery, he thought.
11.This was like being scared of the vacuum cleaner all over again, damn it.
12.“Are you done showing off?”
13.In hindsight, they should have planned for the sprinklers.
14.Fashionable layering could hide a multitude of sins-or bloodstains.
15.“Bitch.”
The Big Bad Catch: All entries must be posted on Monday. Yeah, even the unfinished ones. No beta? No excuse. Even if all you managed was two paragraphs and a titles ripped of from a Linkin Park song-show it. (A special post will be set up.)
Take this challenge as a chance to bet on yourself.
We'll have a cozy cheerleader/brainstorming/panic/sandbox post set up tomorrow. Which is...today? Point is: it'll happen. Meanwhile participants are invited to comment below.
PS: Happy Birthday, Mr. Lambert.
