3. Copy down the next 7 lines – sentences or paragraphs – and post them as they’re written.
WIP 1: my novel that is kicking my bum at the moment, trying to edit the bugger
Jake still held tightly onto his father’s hand even though he could feel Jason’s own grip had loosened, and he saw that his Dad’s eyes had closed. Jake worked an arm round underneath his father’s head, cradling him gently, still whispering encouraging words about getting him out, getting him to hospital, how they’d go to see Nathan in Ames when they were fit again. He refused to let go, even when he could no longer pretend Jason was still breathing, even after the rescue workers had freed the rest of Jason’s body and were trying to get him into a body bag and onto a stretcher. They gave up the effort when they found they couldn’t prise Jake away from the dead man, and perforce allowed him to ride in the ambulance to Allegheny General.
WIP 2: A J2 fic I haven't written anything new on for four years! OMG!
“Whoa! That was you singing that song?” Instead of the anticipated smack down, the tall guy seemed animated by the revelation. “I never knew you could sing as well as play, and what was that song anyway? It was amazing! Can you play keyboards as well as piano? I bet you are an awesome keyboard player, just what we need, and we could maybe even learn that song you were playing in time for next week’s performance too…”
Jensen could see that the tall guy was wound up again and liable to talk incessantly, and it was all too much. The thought of trying out this band idea, this 90 mile a minute guy, the sheer volume of his enthusiasm – it was all overwhelming. Jensen was used to quiet space and order, and this was a level of chaos all wrapped up in a handsome body that could consume him if he wasn’t careful. Almost involuntarily his hand came up and rested on the tall guy’s firmly muscled chest in an attempt to stem the flood.
Currently I can't remember what I called my WIPs that are more current than that, which is great - so I can't given you extracts from my J2 in a space zoo, or Sam and Dean space AU. Doh. Mind you I'm not sure any of those WIPs are seven pages long yet.

Date: 2016-01-16 06:54 am (UTC)I have totally mislaid my space zoo! I have no clue what I named the file or where I filed it, and can't even think what key words might have been in the couple of pages I'd written in order to try a search. So either I'll have to start again or I'll wait and discover it in a few year's time... LOL
