I stole thi image from Alannah's blog
I was tagged by Juli on this, go check out her seven lines as they are quite fun – or perhaps sinister… hmmmm....
Okay, so, here are the rules:
1. Go to page 77 in your current manuscript.
2. Go to line 7.
3. Copy down the next seven lines as they are – no cheating.
4. Tag 7 other authors
I am skipping number 4 insomuch as if you are reading this and have a book you should consider yourself tagged.
I am not completely sure if we are supposed to do seven sentences or seven lines as per your current formatting. I chose the latter.
Set up: Loren and Katelina are standing by a tree. Senya, the Executioner b**** we all love to hate is there with a couple of other Executioners. Fun ensues. She has just asked a question and Loren answered. Here is her reply….
Senya’s eyes glowed with interest. “Really? How disappointing. I guess that’s one less thing I need to do.” She gestured to her underlings. “Grab them.”
Katelina tried to move around the tree. Her mind shrieked at her to run, but she knew it wouldn’t do any good. They’d only chase her and they were faster.
Loren flung himself towards them, his fists up. His first punch connected with Zuri’s stomach, but his second was blocked. The Executioner lunged for him and Loren dodged. The second vampire kicked his legs out from under him. Loren hit the ground like a sack of bricks and the Executioner grabbed him by the front of his hoodie and slammed his fist into his face.
And that’s it. If the 7 test is supposed to be a measure of the books “excitement level” then I guess mine did pretty good as they are getting ready for Executioner style fun.
BONUS: I was tagged by Dawn Colclasure on Facebook and through a weird formatting twist it happens to be the NEXT seven paragraphs, so go check it for the rest of the scene. (I think you have to be logged into FB but you DON’T have to be my friend)

/ March 28, 2012I ended up tagged twice – which made me quite happy because when I originally saw it on another blog they did not tag me, LOL! And I am such a sucker for tags…
Juli Hoffman
/ March 27, 2012He! He! You’re stories are at least a ten on the excitement level!!!!!!!!! This is great! Thanks for the mention!

/ March 28, 2012I do try
Otherwise my brother complains they’re boring

/ March 27, 2012Loren?? I miss him
Hell of an exciting scene
Here’s mine
Kathryn and Mr. Thomas are preparing to go bicycle riding. That’s pretty innocent. What can possibly go wrong?
“What say we do that then? I will meet you in half an hour I am sure the air will clear your head.”
Suddenly, as if a hand had blown away her loneliness, she offered a bright smile “Yes let’s do that. That sounds grand.” She all but ran up the stairs and into her room to change into the bloomers she had brought with her for some unknown reason to New York and to fetch her riding jacket. As she changed she unconsciously hummed a tune.
When she descended the stairs and met Mr.. Thomas by the front door, he noticed what she was wearing. They look well on her but they certainly are ugly ….

DM
/ March 27, 2012What a great idea, and of course I loved your lines.
Joleene Naylor
/ March 28, 2012You know since you have a WIP that means you’re tagged
DM
/ March 28, 2012Uh oh.
Alannah Murphy
/ March 28, 2012Pretty good, lots of action. I like it. Oh and I “borrowed” the logo from someone else anyway, so no big deal lol.
Joleene Naylor
/ March 28, 2012Thanks!
heh-heh, lot’s or borrowing going on!

/ March 29, 2012I had the Lucky 7 image too, if you wanted to “steal” it from me… and it wasn’t clear if it was 7 sentences, 7 lines or 7 paragraphs either. I did 7 paragraphs both times!
Joleene Naylor
/ March 31, 2012I know, right? in fact on facebook the tag officially says “7 sentences, 7 lines OR 7 paragraphs” LOL!

/ April 23, 2012That was exciting. To bad this was posted so long ago, I think the tagging aspect of it is expired.
Joleene Naylor
/ April 24, 2012No. you are still tagged. Though I don;t think you have a WIP, do you? You could use the vampire book we started and just go to page 7 instead of 77
