This week's post was supposed to be Beautiful Books with with university, I never got around to putting it together. So instead, I'm going a tag! Beautiful Books will be next week :)
I got tagged in this way back in May by my good friend, Tori at Stori Tori's Blog and was recently reminded to do it. With NaNo going, I thought it would be a fitting time to do it.
How it Works
It's easy! All you have to do is go to the seventh page in your work in progress (whether it's editing or writing), scroll to the seventh line and then post the next seven lines. After that, you tag seven bloggers to do the same thing.
Since I have two works on the go, I'm gonna share an excerpt from both. I wrote this part of "Crec" last year so I'm a little hesitant to share this but why not, right?
"Living City" is my NaNoWriMo novel that I'm working on currently. So far, so good, everyone! I'm surviving :D
Onwards to the excerpts! We'll start with "Crec" so that we finish with the better except ;)
"Crec"
“There.” Piper handed her the loose end of the rope. “Do you want me to thread your grigri too?”
Masara shook her head and took the rope. She could take it from here. She wouldn't let Piper do everything for her.
Piper thrust some gloves into Masara’s line of sight.
Masara pulled them on. “Thanks.”
She tugged at the rope connecting her to the support beam. It would hold her, right?
To learn more about "Crec", head over to the Writing Dimension *points to the top bar*, or check out Masara's Beautiful People 1, Beautiful People 2, Beautiful People 3.
"Living City"
The chilling memory of the crash came rushing back. She gasped, her body lurching. Panic as cold as the water itself gripped her entire being.
“It’s...it’s okay,” Andrew’s familiar voice breathed heavily.
A rolling wave lifted them up and dropped them back down. Kim’s stomach sunk. She caught her breath. This would be it, would it? She would drown out here and her body would never be found just like in all those stupid documentaries she watched before the plane ride.
If you'd like to know more about "Living City" or the characters in them, head over to the Writing Dimension or you can check out Louis's (the antagonist) Beautiful People, Matt's (a main character) character interview or my recent Beautiful Books post.
As for the 7 bloggers, I always hate being selective about this so instead, anyone reading is welcome to take the challenge! Just comment below and let me know if you're gonna do it cause I'd love to read what you're writing :)
Nice excerpts! I can't wait to alpha both of these books. ;) Keep up the good writing!
