Seven Lines

I was over visiting Liza Carens Salerno’s blog, Middle Passages, and saw that she got tagged. She didn’t pass on the tag to anyone, but left it open for anyone who wanted to participate to grab it. So I did.

The rules are:
1. Go to page 77 of your current MS/WIP
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
5. Let them know

I thought this sounded like fun, plus it would be interesting to see what I had on that page, that line and the six following lines.

Here are my 7 lines from page 77 of my manuscript, The Plan:

     It was time she started learning how to use the Sig. Would a shooting range ask for the gun’s registration? Maybe she wouldn’t have to use the gun. Maybe she would. Ranger would teach her – if she could find him. She’d get the word out that she was looking for him. She re-covered the Sig and slid it to the back of the closet. It was almost time to go home.
     Stripped to underclothes, she slithered beneath the covers, careful not to untuck the sheet or wrinkle the spread. The aching was back.

I’m not going to tag anyone, but have a look at your own manuscript or work-in-progress and see what your seven lines are. Then post them.
