Writing meme

Just a bit of fun stolen from reapertownusa in one of her other existences on FB.

There's this author game going around called 7/77, where we are supposed to post 7 sentences from page 77 (or page 7 if you aren't that far in) of your current WIP. Rather than spend all day tagging all the authors I know, I'll just say: If you see this, DO IT!

So I originally thought I'd have to go to my novel for something with 77 pages, but then realised that wasn't strictly speaking a WIP as it's finished though in dire need of editing. So I moved to it's sequel, which has been abandonned in an incomplete state for quite some time, but has a considerable number of pages and is definitely a WIP (though the progress part is debatable!).

I've kind of guessed where page 77 might be as the chapters are all saved in separate word documents. Here's my 7 sentences

He lay still and relaxed, keeping his breathing soft and even.  Jake had always been adept at fooling Nathan and his father into believing he was soundly asleep, where Nathan had never mastered the art, always giving himself away with small tells – changes in his breathing, involuntary tensing of muscles.  Jake knew this was the only way to keep himself safe from the interrogation he knew was awaiting him on waking, though he was well aware that feigning unconsciousness was not a permanent solution.  He would have to face his brother eventually.  He couldn’t hide forever, and, he realised with a small sense of surprise, he was done with running away.

The trouble was, Nathan’s presence was burning Jake in so many ways.  He was ashamed on so many counts, and was reluctant to face any of them.

Now run away and play!

JIBCon Junkies in withdrawal

So we are still waiting, on tenterhooks, for news of our Passes... One reassuring thing, it seems likely me and my newbie friend, and my roomie from this year, dizzojay, should have a pass of some description, as Daniela mentioned last night that some folk who emailed in the second batch (we were first batch emailers) not only have passes but have Demon passes. My money is now on us having secured our Angel passes, but I can't be 100% certain, and then there is the whole thing about where will we be sitting? So to pass the time I created this.

and loaded it onto Redbubble as t shirt, tote bag, phone cover etc. Daniela likes it! Woo hoo! I think I'm going to get myself a tote bag. Because I really AM a JIBcon junkie! I did a non JIB version as well, just because.
