M is for Meme- 7-7-7
I came oh so close to forgetting about today’s A to Z Challenge post! But thanks to Lora Rivera, I was reminded to post and given a great M-theme! I’ve loved reading other 7-7-7 posts and have secretly hoped for someone to tag me, so…thanks Lora (and I loved your 7-7-7) 🙂
The 7-7-7- Challenge:
Flip to page 77 of your current WIP.
Find line 7.
Post the 7 sentences that follow.
Tag 7 more writers.
Beyond us, hidden in a valley of sand, is a pocket of rich greenness. As far as I know, no place like this exists in the desert. Here though, trees and bushes spring from the ground, their leaves branching out, shading the earth. And in the middle of the lushness is a pool of sparkling, clear water that reflects the light of the moon.
My belly lurches. Hands scrabbling at the ground, I stagger to my feet and jog lopsided toward the water.
Kira catches up with Sam.

If you’ve already been tagged or don’t have time, please don’t worry about posting, but know I would love to read your 7-7-7!
Oooo, I love this WIP. Since I live in the desert, I’m just enthralled by the way you describe it in such exquisite detail! Thanks for playing 🙂
Hello, Juliana! I’ve seen this meme all over the blogosphere and it’s so fun! Your excerpt leaves me wanting to read more! Good luck with your writing and happy A to Z!!
I love reading the 7-7-7 post as well. How cool that you turned it into your A to Z post for the letter M. A very creative idea of yours or Lora’s.
Great seven line excerpt. It was very descriptive. Belly lurches and lopsided jogging, I like your unique way of describing everything. Very well written.
I hope its not a mirage. You’ve described it so wonderfully it makes me worried its a dream 😉
Fun fun, thanks for the tag. I think I shall participate….
Lora- you are too sweet 🙂 I’m glad the desert descriptions are authentic to a desert-liver!
Laura- that is absolutely the best compliment! Thank you!
Melissa- I’m glad you liked those descriptions 🙂
Kelley- well you saw right through it!
Charlie- you definitely should!!
Great meme Juliana – this must be the book you were talking about at conference.
Hey, fun! It’ll probably be a while before I get to this… I really like that description of the oasis. The way it began… made me think you were cheating! 😉 But seriously, I want to know what happens…
These are so fun! That was a great excerpt, so descriptive!! Thanks for tagging me!! 😀
