Go to page 7 of your current work in progress and post at least 7 lines from the page, then tag 7 other authors and challenge them to do the same on their blogs.
Since I have been tagged so many times, (thank you Kirsten Arnold, Linda Smith LaRoque, Alison Bruce, Kat Flannery, Lyn Horner, Danita Cahill) I'm NOT tagging anyone, but here are seven sentences from page seven of a free read you can find Here: Free Reads From the Genre-istas
It's a short historical western titled Shanghaied Heart
(I fudged. There are eight sentences)
The
wave crashed down and they went under water but popped back up closer to
land. They continued this cycle until
Finn released the log and they swam side by side to a rock outcropping. The
waves banged against the rock, spraying ten feet in the air. It wasn’t a safe
place, but they both had to rest before they could swim any farther.
Finn

They
stretched out side by side, staring up at the sky and sucking in long breaths
of air.
When
he finally caught his breath and felt strong enough to sit up, Finn raised up
and stared out at the ocean. The ship was a tiny speck on the horizon.
