My dear writing/blogging/pretty-much-everything buddy, Deborah O’Carroll, tagged me for the 777 Writing Challenge. I was thrilled. This tag seems to be floating all across the blogsphere and looked way too much fun. Plus, 7 happens to be one of my favorite numbers. Fun-ness all around. I’m so excited to be doing it! Thank you, Celti dear! <3 ~Rules~ Go to page 7 of your work-in-progress,
scroll down to line 7,
and share the next 7 lines in a blog post.
Once finished, tag 7 bloggers to do the writing challenge themselves on their own blog. We’re going to assume lines means sentences? Hopefully I do this right. As I’m sure you all know, my current WIP is Burning Thorns, my Beauty and the Beast retelling that was once a novella and is now being transform into a novel. The snippet I landed on happens to be the very first words Rose and the Beast say to each other, their first meeting. So it worked out quite well. As a background, Rose just stumbled into the Beast’s rose garden after a very frightening ordeal. The Beast doesn’t know what to think about a human appearing in the dark Forest of the fae. . . ~Snippet~ "Please don’t hurt me." The Beast staggered back and snatched his wide hood closer around his face, grateful for the darkness of the night. A human? A human here, in the Forest? A female human? "What are you doing here?" he barked, keeping his head low. "I—I had nowhere else to go," she squeaked. Their first meeting wasn’t with the happiest of circumstances.
