A Game of Sevens and an Excerpt from Sacred Fire
A Writer’s Journey
A blogging friend of mine – Brooke R. Busse at Paper Mountain – gave me The Lucky Meme challenge, and I’m excited to participate! She asked seven bloggers to do it and I have to ask seven more, etc.
The Rules:
- Go to page 77 of your current MS/WIP.
- Go to line 7.
- Copy down the next 7 lines – sentences or paragraphs – and post them as they’re written. No cheating.
- Tag 7 authors.
- Let them know.
This exerpt just happens to come from my favorite scene!
Background: Sacred Fire is about Roman priestesses who had to watch the perpetual fire of Vesta. The fire went out twice in recorded history; since the fire was supposed to protect Rome, both times created mass panic and the priestesses guilty of the neglect were put on trial. In this scene, the remaining Vestal Virgins are sitting in the temple in front of the dead hearth while they wait for the high priest to relight it. Tuccia, the MC, is only 12 and she’s freaking out.
Now for the seven bloggers to join the challenge:
On A Writers Journey, aspiring novelist Teralyn Rose Pilgrim talks about the excitements and disappointments that go along with her budding career. Currently agents are looking at her historical fiction about Rome’s Vestal Virgins.
