What is your favourite line from your WIP (or a book you read recently)?
Yay! I love beautiful lines from books. I picked one from each of my manuscripts and one from a book I didn't write (but wish I had!)
From FAKE:
"He says my name like it rhymes with 'Lucifer.'"
From the newly retitled AS LONG AS I'M LYING:
"The notes all roll together, making more sound than I knew two human hands could create."
From the amazing THE BOOK THIEF by Markus Zusak, which is almost entirely composed of gorgeous sentences:
"She was saying goodbye and she didn't even know it."
Jeez, it's hard to pick just one line out of that book. I just picked a pretty one that jumped out at me as I flipped pages. Then I teared up, remembering it. Sigh...
In other news, FAKE has been sent out to the beta readers. I can't make any more changes until I hear back from them, so I'm forced to work on AS LONG AS I'M LYING again. Hooray for exciting first drafts!
Love the second one- pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty header. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the line from Fake, your character's voice sounds awesome. And yay for first drafts, good luck.
Thank you both! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lines!
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you do more RTWs in the future :)
Really like the one from As Long As I'm Lying (and like that title!). Very interesting. I like your new blog look!
ReplyDeletegreat lines, loved them all. and The Book Thief is just full of amazing quotes :)
ReplyDeleteGreat lines! The first one is so interesting, and the second one is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your snow day! :)
I did! It was pretty awesome. Besides missing the first day of two of my classes.
ReplyDeleteI love that Lucifer one. So vivid when you read it in context. :)
