The Rules:

Go to page 77 of your current MS.
Go to line 7.
Copy down the next 7 lines/sentences, and post them as they’re written. No cheating.
Tag 7 other victims …er, authors.

Fun! Okay, here goes:

"But I want you to know, that's not why I came here. I'm not looking for a handout. I’ve got a decent job at the Empire Arms, even if my boss is kind of a dick. I can take care of myself and my kid."

Jo didn’t doubt that. But she was also aware that the timing of this long-awaited visit was no coincidence. No matter what Maddie said, a big part of her reasons for coming to Sanctuary now were pretty close to the reasons Jo had first come here to live with Aunt Dottie when she hit rock bottom all those years ago.

What's On Your Desk?

Full disclosure: A lamp, external hard drive, back issues of RWR, Domino, and Gourmet, Agnes and the Hit Man by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer, extra cover flats for Can't Stand the Heat, a box of Kleenex, a cut-crystal candy jar filled with paper clips, sheet music for choir pieces we sang three Sundays ago, On the Line by Eric Ripert, subscription renewal notice for Food & Wine magazine, a granola bar, To Romance a Charming Rogue by Nicole Jordan, three dirty glasses, a printed out copy of some ancient, unknown draft of Can't Stand the Heat, a pair of plyers, and two boxes of Christmas cards I never sent out.
Clearly, I'm in dire need of a bit of spring cleaning. Not yet; I've got a book to finish first. Come June 2nd, though--watch out, dust bunnies!

So what's on your desk?
