I just figured out what *tagging* is. I’m ashamed to say someone told me they tagged me before and I just said thank you to them! Apparently, when you get tagged you have to go to their blog, follow instructions, and tag other unsuspecting campaigners.
(There really is no end to my techno-lag.)
Anyway, I’ve been tagged for the Lucky Seven Meme by Sara Flower:
The Rules:
1. Go to page 77 of your current MS/WIP
2. Go to line 7
3. Copy down the next 7 lines – sentences or paragraphs – and post them as they’re written. No cheating
4. Tag 7 authors
5. Let them know
This is from the third book in my reincarnation fantasy series, titled Infinite Loss.
*A little sneak peek for my readers*
I’ll let you figure out where my character has ended up while revisiting her past lives from this little sample: (Warning—my amazing editors have not slashed their machetes through this yet, so read at your own risk)
“Of course not, but when I saw her she cried, ‘I am Lakota! Otaktay’s first wife!’, and I couldn’t believe what the Great Spirit was giving me.”
I laugh and look back to see the rejoined couple but see Chase’s angry face instead. He too must realize what this means.
I turn back. “Well, then you won’t be too mad now that I saved Chayton’s life.”
He scoffs and sees Chayton up ahead, still holding his head as he rides on. “Nothing could make me happier than to have Chayton and Chase alive to watch Otaktay hand me Mika.”
I really almost cheated since this was not the most poignant moment in the following pages but rules are rules.
Now for my tagging victims (and I picked the following writers since I would love to see what they’re up too!):
You’re it!

Well, I am intrigued! I cannot wait to read the rest! 😀
I am nearly finished Infinite Devotion and I am really enjoying it.
Oh, I am so glad you’re enjoying it!
I’ve never played “Blog Tag” before. Thanks for including me! Ah, being dropped into a story really wets the appetite. I want to know what’s going on there!

I know! I think it’s just as effective as a blurb. Like dropping into a gossipy conversation—Who did what? What happened?
Thanks for tagging me, Lauren. I’ve already posted my Lucky meme. I totally understand not feeling like the part I shared was that phenomenal of a part to share, but yes, rules are rules. Great job though. Sounds like an interesting book. 😀

Hey Lauren,
Thanks for tagging me! I just posted mine.
I like your excerpt, sounds like a cool story. 🙂
I’m off to snoop on yours 🙂
Sounds very interesting. I love Fantasy. When will ‘Infinite Loss’ be available? I will definitely get it.
Thanks Kathy! I’m shooting for it to be out 2013, but the research is bogging me down a bit. I’m hoping to make some good headway in the summer.
Oh, I forgot to tell you not to feel so guilty about the techno-terms. I’m learning as I go, and sometimes I can’t keep up. Just as I learn something new, they come out with ten more things to add to the list.
At least I’m not the only one! So many of the blogs I follow seem light years ahead of me in techno-lingo. Every post teaches me something new in the blogasphere.
