Lucky 7 Meme

Tara Tyler has tagged me in the Lucky 7 Meme.

1. Go to page 77 of your current MS.
2. Go to line 7.
3. Copy down the next 7 lines - sentences or paragraphs - and post them as they're written. No cheating.
4. Tag 7 authors.

In my case, I'm not going to tag other authors because there are soooo many people doing this right now--instead, I'm going to say if you haven't done this meme and you want to, have at it! It's super fun. ^_^


My current manuscript is Rising Book 2: Rebellion, and fortunately, I'm well past 77 pages. ("Fortunately" because I'm on a deadline to finish the first draft by the end of April.) The fun thing about this is that these snippets are so short, it could make sense or not make sense. ;) Here are my current seven lines starting at line 7 on page 77.

"She hasn't exactly been very forthcoming."

"She never is." Freya stood up and looked at Lachlan expectantly, and he took that as his cue to leave.

Lachlan rose and waited for a mild wave of dizziness to pass. "Thank you again." He exited the tent and made his way back over to the one he'd left earlier, waving at Kilta and Tobias, who were still beside the fire, as he passed them.

And while I'm at it, here's a song from my Rising Book 2 playlist (which has about 25 songs on it). This is "One Day" by Trading Yesterday, one of my all-time favorite bands.

Tagged!

I was recently tagged by Donna K. Weaver (she's wonderful; if you're not following her already, what are you waiting for?) and with the move and everything, it took me a while to find time to do this.

I get to answer some questions and tag some others. :D

1. Do you think you're hot?
I just moved back to Tennessee. Do you know how humid it can get here?

2. Upload a picture or wallpaper you are using at the moment.



I've posted both of these pictures before--these are the four main characters from the two Rising books I'm working on, drawn by my talented friend Holly.

3.When was the last time you ate chicken?
Yesterday, grilled.

4. The song/songs you listened to recently.
Oh, I listen to music all the time. Let's see...here's one I've been listening to a lot recently. Owl City (I LOVE Owl City!), "To The Sky":




5. What were you thinking while doing this?
-I'm so behind on my blogging.
-Coffee at 8PM might not be the best idea ever, but it sure tastes delicious.
-So. Much. Editing to do before July.
-Have to get the kids ready for bed soon.
-Other random stuff.

6. Do you have nicknames? What are they?
Mommy/Mama/Mom
A lot of other things over the years, from Laurie to Liz. (Liz was my sister's nickname for me, because my initials before I was married were L.Z.)
