My friend and soon-to-be-published novelist Camela Thompson tagged me on a writerly game. She was tagged by author Michael G. Munz, and I'm sure if I followed the trail backward there would be many an unknown and many an illustrious writer behind him.
The 7x7x7 Game is simple: a writer should turn to page 7 of her current work-in-progress. Then she should go to line 7 on that page, and then copy and post the next 7 lines exactly as they are. So...here we go!
The working title of my current project is: Dead Gold. If you've been reading my blog for awhile (and bless you if you have been) then you may remember some pitches for this novel back in July. And here are seven lines from the seventh page:
"That was one day," the flanneled prospector snarled. The light from the distant kerosene lamp was making his mouth look wide and uneven, as though his lips were falling away from his jaw. "Another day those damn mountains might rain rocks on you in an avalanche, or dry up every drop of water in a day's ride. They don't pay out gold like a salary, that's for damn sure! Greed and loneliness are a bad combination for a man. You don't need snow ten feet deep to drive a man to madness." He leaned in suddenly and reached for the whiskey bottle.
