Talented super writer/reader ladies Melanie Noell Bernard and Elena Johansen both tagged me for the 7/7/7 Challenge, so does this mean I should do a 14/14/14 tag? Okay, not.
When I first saw this tag (two months ago, yes, it’s taking me that long to get caught up on book tags)I assumed I was supposed to type 7 lines from page 7 of a book I am READING. Of course, the directions clearly state the passage should come from MY OWN work in progress, which I didn’t notice until after I’d already located and typed out 7 lines from The Casquette Girls.
Anywho. . . here’s the not-exactly-earth shattering passage from my work in progress, a modern day YA paranormal that’s been a ton of fun to write.
Rules
- Go to page 7 of your work-in-progress.
- Scroll down to line #7.
- Share the next 7 lines of your manuscript in a blog post.
- Tag 7 other writers (with blogs) to continue the challenge.
Eve’s 7/7/7 Snippet
“Adam?”
From the other side of the door, Adam clears his throat and answers in a voice much lower than I’ve ever heard from him. “What is it, Callie?”
It feels strange to hear him say my name since he’s never used it before.
“How’s the cat?” I ask.
“Not. . . good.” Adam still hasn’t opened his bedroom door.
“I. . . uh, want to tell you something.”

Eve, now you have me intrigued. Why had he never used her name before? Such an lovely unusual one at that? How well do they know each other? Then what’s up with that cat?!

‘Cause he’s a jerk (or maybe there’s some deeper reason?)…They are roommates…the injured stray cat is not “right” and heals unusually quickly in Adam’s care.

I can’t help but I think they’re actually not talking about a cat. Or they are, but there’s something other tension goin’ on between Adam and Callie. Or I’m totally wrong and I’m just hallucinating. But definitely intrigued to learn more 🙂
