My good friend Kat Impossible from Life and Other Disasters (definitely check her out) tagged me for the 777 Challenge! Normally I don’t get tagged for these things, and when I do, I don’t always have the time for them. However, Kat only tags me for something if she thinks it’s up my alley, and it not only sounded fun to do, but it’s something I’m in a unique position to do because I’m currently working on something and I’m at a stage where I want to showcase something from it. That story, to be a bit more precise, is Rose, whose first chapter I just finished editing the other day (20 more to go!).
So what does one do when they are tagged for the 777 Challenge? Well, simple enough: share 7 lines from the 7th page of your WIP! They can be completely random if you want, it’s your story. Also, you can use a fun little graphic, like the one I created up above (it’ a skull made of shoes! How could I not use that?), but I’m pretty sure that’s optional.
So without further ado, here are some random lines from Rose, currently in its third draft:
- There’s another angry pulse, but that’s all that happens.
- My nails are turning a deep shade of pink as I stare at them, while the skin around them is turning light green, the skin tingling where it changes color.
- I blink, my eyes itching, and I know without having to look that they’ve turned green as well.
- “What the hell are these?” says the man, drawing my attention back to him.
- Maybe he’s just as scared as I am.
- Soon everything below the shoulders feels like it’s buzzing with electricity, until the green coloring climbs up my neck and spreads over my face.
- I wonder if whatever’s happening is over.
What did you think of that?
So now I have to tag some others and pass the challenge along. And I know just which three authors to challenge:
- Matt Williams from Stories By Williams
- Angela Misri from A Portia Adams Adventure
- Ruth Ann Nordin from Ruth Ann Nordin’s Blog
- EVERYONE READING THIS WHO WRITES!!!
Check out their websites, because they’re awesome. Also make sure to link back to me if you decide to do the challenge, guys. I’d appreciate it.
That’s all for now. I hope you liked what you read and I hope my friends are willing to try this out. Until next time!
Rami Ungar The Writer 
Glad you did the challenge. I thought it would be something that fits your blog 🙂
It does. BTW, what did you think of the lines from my story?
Whatever transformation is happening sounds interesting.
I hope when people read the book, they say the same thing.
OOoooooOOOOoooooOOOOooooOOOoo
I take it you’re excited and can’t wait to try it yourself? 😉
Sounds cool! This particular book sounds very interesting to me. I’m looking forward to reading it!
I’ll get around to the challenge in a few days. Thanks for tagging me!
No problem. And I hope that if it does come out, you like it as much as you think you will.
The story sounds intriguing, Rami! As far as the challenge, I might attempt it soon. I’m just wondering… why ‘777’ not ’77’? Where does the third 7 come from?
You’ll have to ask whoever came up with this challenge. I have no idea.
I hope others find the story intriguing when it comes out. In the meantime, I just have to keep editing and hope something comes of it all.
