This one goes around and comes around. I’ve never participated before. This time it comes via Patricia Burroughs and Pati Nagle. The sample is from the rough draft of a novel roughly completed a few weeks ago, which I’ll call WIP #1. I’m supposed to be revising and augmenting this now, but I’ve started another novel instead. 🙂

The Meme:
1. Go to page 77 (or 7th) 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.

Here’s mine:

“What languages were spoken there?”
“Laoan.”
“Is that like Chinese?”
“I don’t think so.”
“The cult that held you, did they stockpile weapons?”
“There was no cult. I wasn’t held. No one stockpiled weapons.”
“How did you get back to the US?”
