Yesterday I was tagged
by LK Evans, author of Keepers of Arden, to take part in the 777Writer’s Game.
The premise is simply
to post 7 lines from a page number ending in 7 from a WIP
(work-in-progress), and then tag 7 other writers to take part.
Picking which WIP was a
bit tricky, as I’ve technically got three large ones on the go. I
went for Sir Edric’s Kingdom, which isn’t quite done and won’t
be out for a while (it’s the third of his adventures, with Temple
and Treasure due for a release in early 2016). Hard picking which bit
to use too, as it’s a bit longer and less episodic than the first
two, and I didn’t want to give away plot points.
Anyway, here’s the
excerpt:
“Good
idea,” Sir Edric agreed. “You do that, and I’ll occupy myself
getting thoroughly drunk.”
“That
might dishearten the men, sir.”
Sir
Edric popped his cork and took a long swig. “Dog, half the men
already lack stomach, guts, spines and brains. One fewer organ won’t
make any difference to their life expectancy.”
“Nevertheless,
sir, I do have in mind a perhaps better use of the wine.”
My
septet of tagged victims are:
I
look forward to seeing what excerpts my seven tagged persons post.
