Tagged Again!

So.... like forever ago the wonderful Laura tagged me. And I am just now getting to it. Since I am so late... I won't pass the tag along to anyone specific. But if you would like to - go ahead :)

Here's how it works:
The rules:
1. Go to page 77 of your current MS
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

Here is a sneak peak into Shadowed Stones (since I technically don't even have one page of Three of Ivory

They were frightened; Lyni could tell that from the occasional sob or whimper that escaped their lips. Whenever one would make a noise the others would shush them, knowing that if Lyni was distracted they would all be dead, buried under a pile of cold stone.

Their situation was desperate.

Slowly she turned her back on the huddling servants, hiding the sudden tears that she could no longer hold back. She was tired, her whole body ached, and her head screamed with pain. At least all of this crowded out the gnawing complaints of her empty stomach. Lyni did not know how much longer she could hold out.

If it had only been her that Feldon had placed in the small room she would have given up quickly and accepted her fate. Her freedom from Feldon’s grasp was worth much more than her life and she could never sacrifice the lives of others, just to defy him. All this, the dark wizard knew and used against her.

Behind her one of the young servant girls was crying softly, and Lyni shared in her desperation. Her hold on the ceiling above them was weakening with each breath, and with each breath their deaths drew closer and closer. She hoped, at least, that the servants knew that she had tried her hardest to save them and given everything she had to ensure that they did not become victims of Feldon’s desire to control her.

The ceiling slipped a few more inches.

Lyni screamed with frustration and tried to push it back up, but it was no use, the endless strain had finally worn her down.

Ooo - I am so glad that this landed at such a wonderful point in the story! Enjoy!

Blog Tag and A Little About Me

Emily Moir blog-tagged me on her blog.

As part of being tagged she is forcing me to answer some questions and then tag some other people :)

Here are the questions and answers:

1. What is the strangest talent you have?
Writing - well more creativity and thinking out side the box.

2. Have you ever had a poem or song written about you? (If the answer is yes you totally have to give more details)
Hmm, not that I know of.

3. What's your strangest phobia?
Being buried alive. Or drowning. Or being stuck in a small space.

4. What's your favorite, non computer related, time waster?
Sleeping. - Because I don't think reading is a waste of time :)

5. What do miss most about being five-years-old?
Not having to go to work.

6. You know that time you called in sick to work, but not because you were sick, because you wanted to do something awesome? What was the awesome thing you did?
Well, I must be a fuddy duddy because I have never called in sick to work to do something awesome. I have called in sick to give myself and extra day off though.

7. Do you find inspirational quotes, posters,etc. inspiring or annoying?
Yes.

8. Are you more likely to watch a video blog or read articles?
Read. I do most of my blogging at work on lunch - so it is easier for me to read an article really quick then to pull out my head phones :)

9. What's your favorite book?
The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley

10. What's your guilty pleasure?
Chocolate and Video Games

11. Two guys walk into a bar. What happens?
The third one ducks.

Now, I have tagged the following bloggers. I am picking on my ten most recent followers who have blog or other link on their profile - but if you read this post and want to participate in the tag too - consider yourself tagged :)

And since I think Emily's questions are so awesome - I want my taggies to answer the same ones.
