I'm having a great birthday so far (even though I haven't slept yet) and I'm going to make a proper post about that later. But for now:

I was tagged by [livejournal.com profile] sleepypercy for a writing meme: Ze Challange Grande is to pull seven lines from the seventh page of your WIP. Then you're supposed to tag seven other writers.

I have a few that I'm working on, but this is the one I messed with most recently:

-----------------

"You don't get it," she says, shoving up off the bed and yanking Sam's t-shirt on over her head, inside-out. She paces the small space between their beds, two steps away, two steps back, eyes flicking to him and away, her fingers coming up to her mouth like she wished she had a cigarette, but she'd stopped smoking those a year ago when John took her to task for getting out of breath on their morning runs.

Stomach a yawning pit of dread, Sam watches Deanna dip her fingertips into her mouth to bite on her fingernails, a rare sign of vulnerability. She yanks her fingers away, eyes suddenly firm and focused. "I didn't get it. Not at first," she says, and she makes one more four-step lap before sitting on the bed across from him him.

"I hate talking about this stuff," she grumbles, then sighs and looks up at the dark ceiling.

-----------------

I hate tagging, and I know a lot of people have been tagged already, so I'm just gonna pick some people. Apologies if you're on here and don't want to be, or if you don't want to be and you are, lol. I'm taggin eight to be a jerk haha

Is that girl!Dean that I spy? If you need a beta, you know where to find me (and my black heart.)

Thanks very much for the tag!

Most importantly: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Here's wishing you a lovely day and tons of cake. (or spinach and broccoli, if you're still on a broccoli kick)

It is girl!Dean! The third and final part of my Denial series, which is trying to come together. It's 75% complete in my mind, and 33% complete on paper. I might tap you for a beta if you're still available, thanks! And I've edited it to make it more clear that it's Deanna, because it needed some editing anyway ;)

You're welcome!

And thank you! I'll have my cake, and I'll have my broccoli too, b/c my mom's taking me out for steak. I'm getting a big ol' slab of meat, plus all the veggies they can fit on the side *drooling already*

Ooo you are such a tease right here. Given the enormous number of things Deanna surely hates to talk about. What could it be? :D

Thank you for tagging me. This is a fun one. And most of all...

♥♥ Happy birthday! ♥♥

Thank you!

Aww, I didn't know you wouldn't like it, or I wouldn't have tagged you. I just thought it would be fun. Sorry!
