A Writer's Journey

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

Lucky Seven Meme!

My very good friend and fab critique partner, Lori M. Lee, recently tagged me in a writer's meme. I thought it would be a great way for me to dust off the old blog and perhaps jumpstart me into blogging again. *cue party hats and music* In lieu of the usual music stuff I put up for my irregular regular Music Mondays, I thought I'd jump in on the meme fun and take a stab at this instead! xD

The Lucky 7 Meme Rules

• Go to page 77 of your current MS/WIP
• Go to line 7
• Copy down the next 7 lines--sentences or paragraphs--and post them as they're written. No cheating.
• Tag 7 authors
• Let them know

And here we go ^^ ::

An awkward silence followed and an image of her expression at the Prescotts’ party popped into my head. She fiddled with the chain of the small vial and turned back to her book. I was uncertain if bringing up the scene from the balcony was a good idea, but the thought gnawed at me. She caught my eye and shifted uncomfortably.

“So, did you move here with your parents?” I asked, pretending to browse through the open book in my hand.

“Parents?” She looked confused for a moment. “Oh, no parents. I actually live with my aunt."

This was from the most recently revised version of this WIP, which still needs quite a bit of work. I'm hoping to get cracking on the new revisions once I finish the first draft of the current WIP I've recently started.

Now for the tagging!

Eight Question Meme!

I was tagged by the frawesomesauceness that is Lori M. Lee in a meme! And if you're not sure what a meme is, you can read about it here :D

Okay, question time! *licks the tip of my virtual pencil*

If you could go back in time and relive one moment, what would it be?

The first time I held my son. The world kind of did this weird shifting thing. I probably would've wished I had more tissues. LOL

If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be?

I probably would've gone back to school sooner. If I did, I'd already be done instead of trying to finish while working full time and trying to juggle a kiddo. (okay, not *literally* juggle the kiddo...he might fall. LOL)

What movie/TV character do you most resemble in personality?

Hm...this is hard. I'd probably say Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy. LOL Cynical, self-preservationist, sarcastic, but fiercely loyal to people I genuinely care about. *stops tooting my own horn and steps off the soapbox*

If you could push one person off a cliff and get away with it, who would it be?

The coyote from the Loony Toons episodes. Just so I can watch him suspend in mid-air before falling to his untimely death...who are we kidding, he lives every time! Which is probably why I'd get away with it. *nods*

Name one habit you want to change in yourself.

My inability to focus. I mean, if I really wanted to do it, I could buckle down and put on the tunnel vision thing, but it's painful. And then there are so many pretties that I have to push aside. *pats my #twitteraddiction* I am easily distracted and literally need someone to tell me GO. FINISH. THIS. NOW. *look puppy* LOL

Describe yourself in one word.

Music.

Describe the person who named you in this meme in one word.

Frawesomesauceness. Her talent literally leaves my jaw hanging in awe. *bows down in reverence* Also, she is an expert WIP-ripper. Mmhmm.

Why do you blog? Answer in one sentence.

I blog to release errant thoughts and to communicate with other people who could identify with, relate to, or laugh at those errant thoughts. :D

Name at least 3 people to send this meme to, and then inform them.

1) Corinne O'Flynn - one of my frawesomesauce critique partners
2) Sophia - my original gal-boyfriend
3) Jeigh Meredith - my ridic frawesome critique partner turned beta reader

Happy reading and have a frawesomesauce weekend! *throws pink confetti*
