7-7-7- Challenge

Whilst I was pondering what to blog about today, I got word from Juliana Brandt (who is our next Someday Stars interviewee) that I was tagged in a 7-7-7 challenge. This is a fun one, methinks. (And you can see Juliana's here.)

The 7-7-7- Challenge

  • Flip to page 77 of your curent WIP.
  • Find line 7.
  • Post the 7 sentences that follow.
  • Tag 7 more writers.

She crawled along the pathway itself, open air on all sides of her. She reached the next wall as two guards passed, each with a rifle resting on their right shoulders.
            Exhale, inhale. She turned the corner and searched for Eloise. Was that her on the distant wall, or a trick of the light? Lanterne waited for something to happen, for some sign of movement, but it was too far to see clearly. Hopefully the distance worked both ways.

  2. That's a very nice row of seven sentences. I kind of like this meme. It's a good one to showcase some writing.

  4. There's something to this 7-7-7. The lines chosen tend to be pretty intriguing or tense. Which, by the way, your excerpt falls under both descrptions.

    Thanks for the meme love. I may have to check out another of my WiPs to see what shows for it.
