Lucky 7 MeMe

Today I am going to do something I’ve never done before……

dun dun dun……

Vikki over at The View Outside has graciously tagged me and at first I thought…hmmmm after yesterday’s post about all of my writing insecurities and the lack of progress of my work in progress, maybe I’m not qualified to participate.

My second (and prevailing) thought was – NO! I most certainly will do this! Isn’t this exactly the defeatist attitude that has gotten me into the insecure funk?? Yes. It is. So. Here are the rules:

1. Go to the 7th or 77th page of your WIP

2. Go to the 7th line of the page

3. Copy the next 7 sentences or paragraphs. Remember, they must be as they are typed.

4. Tag 7 authors.

5. Let them know they’re it!

Ahhhhh……this is the first time I Am The Damned is getting an audience. It’s still in its first baby stages……. oh my, I feel so naked…….

Gary knocks on my door. ‘It’s lunch time’. He comes in ass first, holding a tray of shit. I mean, food. ‘And don’t forget, your mother is coming to see you today’. He smiles.
As if that makes it all ok.
That drug addicted alcoholic wants to see me? Why? Does she want me to kill her?
I sit up in my bed and wait for Gary to leave before I tuck into my 5 star lean cuisine. ‘I’ll come and get you when you’re done. She’ll be here in half an hour.’
Gary hesitated before making his way to the door. Turning, he asks me, ‘You do want to see her, don’t you?’
I shrug. ‘Why is she here?’
‘So she can talk to you’
‘But it’s been such a long time,’
He looked at me with a half cocked smile. ‘Emma, really?’
‘It has,’ It came out almost a whisper.
‘Be nice to her’, He opened the door. ‘Especially today,’

I bent the rules a wee bit, put in a little more than 7 sentences 🙂

Now, to tag the next 7 authors:

Julie Israel

Steven Bell

AM Schultz

Kirsten

Chris Stocking

Holly Michael

M S Fowle

You’re all it! 🙂
