the 123 meme ~

[lookingland]

i thought i would be a sheeple today:

Turn to page 123 in your work-in-progress. Count down four sentences and then instead of just the fifth sentence, give us the whole paragraph.

Lewis opened the box with perfectly deft fingers. For all he had been through, not a nerve in his body seemed rattled. Inside the box was a hard little block of what looked like solidified molasses. He held it up to me, puzzled.

yeah, not too exciting. but that's what came up. the "solidified molasses" is bow rosin. they're going through the effects of the dead men in their company and this belonged to Ed Alexander, the fiddle player who Lewis shoots in the first chapter of the book.



rosin is pretty and smells goooood.

p.s. happy "pi" day, all.

I used to play cello when I was a kid, and I loved, loved, loved bow resin - especially when I got a brand new one because the colour was so wonderful! And the smell! *sigh*

Yay for sharing a snippet! :) I agree with what you wrote to lanyn - these writing memes are fun and good for us too, I think...

i played violin and always envied the brand of rosin that the other girls had ~ there's were darker, richer looking (like a good german beer).

though they all smelled good ~ hahahahahaha ~

i'll have to make up some memes for us!
