The awesome Theresa Paolo at No Rhyme or Reason (by the way, love that blog name) tagged me on the Lucky 7 Meme yesterday. Thanks, Theresa!
Here is what the tagged has to do:
1) Go to page 77 of your current MS
2) Go to line 7
3) Copy down the next 7 lines as they’re written–no cheating
4) Tag 7 other writers
5) Let them know
Well, honestly I’m working on many WIPs at the moment, tweaking here and there when I can …
So, I chose the WIP that is closest to my heart at the moment, the one I’m revising (AGAIN!) right now, the one featured on this bloghop and this contest.
It’s called DESTINY GIFT, and here it is:
Once it was done, he pulled his hands back and placed them inside his pockets. “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome.”
And he walked away. Just like that.
My legs gave out, and I found a stool to sit down before I fainted from breathing the toxic substance I’d been working with. Or because of my response to Victor—who was Victor but not, in so many ways.
Oh my God! I was just an object to him. A thing that he could use whenever he wasn’t feeling well. I felt like a recyclable soda can that he could use up and then throw away.
Ha! Now I leave you wondering what that was about =P
Passing along the tag:
1) Jani Grey at Life Debatable
2) Tracy at Scarlets Sanctum
3) Ladonna Watkins at The Writer in Me
4) Jenny Kaczorowski at In Somnis Veritas
5) Melissa Hurst at Chasing the Dream
6) Heather L. Reid at I’d Rather Be Writing
7) Elodie at Commuting Girl
Cheers,

Oh Victor :) This was such a great first 50 pages! So glad you’re working on it to make it shine even more!
Juliana
I think it’s better now, you know ;)
Colin
Did what?! Toxic substance?! Victor?!! Eek! Don’t you love leaving an audience hanging… ;) Thanks for sharing, Juliana! :)
Juliana
hihi Well, we all like a few cliffhangers sometimes ;)
Tracy
Thnx :o) Now I have to decide who I’m going to pass it on to – you all ARE my writing community :o)
I am interested in the rest btw… What’s up w/ this Victor… :o)
Heather Reid
Love this! I’m interested in what Victor is up to. How dare he use her like a recycled soda can! :) Thanks for sharing!
Juliana
And thanks for reading!
Donelle Lacy
This makes me pretty curious what went on in that scene just before. That poor girl! At least she’s realizing she’s being used, though. And actually seems upset about it.
Elodie
I want to know more about Victor – for some reason I just had a flash of Spike & Buffy when reading this little snippet…
I love the tension you put in this little tiny scene!
Juliana
Thanks, Elodie ;)
Lynn Rush
OH how fun!!!!!! :)
Juliana
Thanks!
Karen Rought
Spectacular! Really enjoyed that snippet. It’s got me wondering now…
Juliana
Great! I like my “readers” wondering ;)
Theresa
Thanks for the awesome mention :) I loved this especially that last line! I want to know more about this Victor.
Such a tease!
Juliana
hihi Thanks!
Victoria
Hey so I just saw that you had this here, lol. I just tagged you again on mine, haha
Juliana
Oh, that’s okay. And thanks =)
