I’ve been tagged by the awesome Nancy S. Thompson for The Lucky 7 meme. Go read the snippet from her manuscript – pretty impressive.
Now for the basic rules of this meme:
2. Go to line 7
3. Copy down the next 7 lines, sentences, or paragraphs, and post them as they’re written.
5. Let them know
The following 7 lines come from my manuscript Dead Lies.(in my document, it was only 7 lines… geez looks longer here)
We rush into the stairwell, laughing like we haven’t just escaped danger, like we won’t face it again tomorrow or the day after.
“It’s official then.” Nixie jumps to the top step and looks down at us, standing with parted legs and hands on waist, her long shadow flicking in the light behind her. “We are the unstoppable trio. We fight crime with our immense powers of destruction. I will be Vibe.” She points to Olivia. “Mesmeriser.” Her finger swings in my direction. “Mystic.”
Olivia trudges up the stairs. “Not really a fan of that name. I’d rather be diamondress.”
“That’s not even a word, plus your ability has nothing to do with diamonds,” Nixie says.
“But I like them.”
I’m tagging the following 7 bloggers for this meme:
Check them out – they are my regular blog stops:)

Thanks…
Tanya, I just wanted to say that I will get to passing this on. I am sorry I haven’t yet. Thank you so much again. I have just been so busy, I haven’t had time to devote to it. Hopefully tonight I can share the love.
Can’t wait to see your snippet Ariel:)
I really liked the tone of your story. Good luck with it!
THis is one of the more fun blog tags I’ve received. I love seeing what other writers are working on.
Thanks Jennifer… it’s a pretty fun tag:)
I liked the voice in this piece. 🙂 I’m glad to see this meme is still around. I’ve enjoyed reading excerpts all over.
It’s an awesome meme…:) Thanks
I like your seven lines Tania.Also, the lines make me interested in reading the Died Lies.
Thanks Corina… I’m so happy to hear from you:)
ha, I love the voice in your mini excerpt.
Thanks Lynda:)
I want to be Diamondress. That’s such a cool name. Great excerpt!
Wow, this meme thing really went viral. And yes, I was also surprised when my seven lines looked longer on my blog than in my ms. 🙂
Hasn’t it… I see it everywhere and it’s awesome to read everyone’s snippet… such a cool idea.
Very nice. I can see why she likes diamondress better.
Who could blame her:)
[…] mult nu am mai făcut, dres etc. una (la o leapşă mă refer). Treceam şi eu ca omul pe blogul Taniei Walsh şi leapşa pe care o îndeplinise de curând, semăna cu una care am făcut-o odată (sau era […]
I will “steal” it! and I will put in Romanian. It is very funny!
Thanks George… so glad you liked it:)
This sounds like a fun trio. I wouldn’t mind knowing more about them 🙂
I really enjoy writing them… they have such varied personalities, but click when together… And get into trouble way too much
Oooh and diamonds are forever. I like these three women. I want to follow along on their adventures as they kick some ass while at the same time being snarky.
Thanks Michael… They get up to a few troubling things… let’s just say in one scene, a viking, saber-tooth tiger, and the girls looking up a man’s kilt are involved…hehe
I love the dialogue between the characters! 🙂
Thanks:) It makes me giggle.
Who doesn’t like diamonds?
I appreciated how you wove description into your dialogue.
Everyone loves diamonds… so true… so true
Diamondress doesn’t roll off the tongue so well…
You know… that was my one sticking point too…hmmm have to play around with it a bit more
Oh, wow! That was a fun excerpt! I wonder what those three have been up to. 😉 Thank you for the tag!
They’ve been up to trouble… that much is certain…:)
Nice excerpt! Mystic is a cool name. I wanna be called that if I ever become part of an unstoppable trio. 😀 Thanks for tagging me!
I’m noting that down Annie… might have to call yourself that in the forum from now on…hehe;)
How fun! And something different than sharing random facts, lol. Fun excerpt. I wonder what mine will say… 0_o
Exactly… that makes is so much more fun
Great tag. Love the excerpt too.
Thanks
Good excerpt 🙂
Is this the one you’re doing the edits on?
No, this is my new WIP… it’s on hold while I do the edits on my other story.
This is a fun idea!
Totally agree.
I love this. What a great idea. Love the tone of your snippet. “Diamondress” ! LOL And the line “her long shadow flicking in the light behind her” is so evocative. I can’t wait to see what lines I land on. And thanks for tagging me. I look forward to seeing some other new blogs as well.
Agree… very good idea. It’s like a lucky dip where you’ll land:)
What a fun meme! Thanks for tagging me! And great excerpt. I am posting mine tomorrow.
Cool – can’t wait to see yours.
What a great idea! I enjoyed your excerpt. 🙂
Thanks:)
That’s an awesome excerpt. Thanks for the tag! 🙂
Thanks Christine… can’t wait to read yours;)
Loved the excerpt! Thanks for including me! I’ll be putting mine up this week 🙂
Cool… can’t wait to read it.
Haha. I like them too! Can I steal that name?? 🙂
Me too… imagine being able to produce diamonds with a single thought… could get boring after a while, but doubt it:)
Great excerpt! Isn’t this Lucky 7 thing fun!
A lot of fun… you just don’t know what lines you’ll reach:) Thanks for tagging me.
