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.
4. Tag 7 authors
Since I'm not yet at page 77 on my current WIP, I chose to give you these lines from IN NAME ONLY, hoping to whet your appetite for more.
Summer took a quick shower and grabbed a beer from the fridge. The leftover brownie caught her eye, and she snatched it to test Charlie's theory.
Before her shower, she'd spent almost half an hour researching James and Amanda Packett on the Internet with little result. She found their names, but learned nothing about them.
Now she curled into a chair, turned on the lamp, and read about the hydrogen isolator. She had drunk half her beer before she remembered the brownie and took a nibble, then a swallow of beer. A smile spread across her face.
Now I'm supposed to tag 7 authors. I've seen this meme around for a few weeks, so I don't know who has it already. If you want it, it's yours :)
If you don't, but you know someone who does, they're free to come over here and snag it. All I ask is you - or they - leave me a comment so I know where it's going. Inquiring minds Nosy writers like to know these things :)

Also last week, Tami Brothers passed the Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award on to me.
Receiving this award means sharing 7 random facts about me. One of the rules for receiving this award is to pass the sweetness along to 7 other bloggers.
I've received this award before, so I'm passing it on the same way as I did the tags above - you or someone you know want it, it's yours. Just tell me in the comments, please.
Now ... 7 random facts about me. Maybe you'll find one you didn't already know.
1. I love going barefoot.
2. My eyes are green.
3. One of my ancestors helped establish a town near Boston.
4. I love rain.
5. And sunshine.
6. I'm afraid of spiders.
7. My favorite follower is YOU!

And congrats on your Award ... Happy Monday to you :)
And I have green eyes too ;)
Anna - My ancestor was Joseph Hills.
Joanne - Thanks! Looking forward to reading your book :)
Ciara - A warning - LOL! Glad that didn't happen with mine.
Linda K - Cool. Going to check it out in a little bit.
I'd also love to hear more about your ancestor (as I come from Mass.) Tell us more!
My eyes are green, too! With red hair. If I wear white, I look like Christmas.
Great excerpt.
Elspeth - Eeewwwww...I just lefted my feet.
Johanna - Twins :)
LR - Cool :) Joseph Hills is an ancestor on my mother's side of the family. He was one of the founders of Malden, Massachusetts, and came here from England in 1638.
Brenda Kay - Thanks! You have a great day, too :)
Very interesting about your ancestor in Massachusetts. My ancestors came to MA from England around that same time, I wonder if they knew each other! :D
I have been behind on my blog reading and I don't know when you changed the pic at the top of your blog, but I really love it. Looks great! Happy Monday and have a great week ahead. :)
Diane - LOL about Christmas!
Luanne - There ya go :)
Emily - I'm making myself crave one, too.
Julie - Wonderful! Perhaps our ancestors did know each other. Maybe we're even distant cousins. What are some of your family names?
Hmmm. Wonder why I have a sudden craving for brownies. :)
Stina - Gee, don't know :)
I also love going barefoot. Sigh. It's been awhile!
I'm with you on the rain and the spiders, but then as long as it has more than two week and it walks close to the ground, I'm afraid of it. :)
J.L. - LOL! I don't like many of those creepy crawlies, but spiders are the only ones that send me scrambling and freaking out.
Green eyes? Me, too. :)
Tami
Great excerpt and congrats on your award.
Lynda - Great point! Glad you enjoyed.
