Sabrina passed the Peep Show Challenge along to me and so here it is:
The Peep Show rules are, go to the 77th page of your WIP, count down 7 lines, write the next 7.
I promise, despite the fact that it only looks like 6 lines, it was 7 on my manuscript!
“She must be killed.” His handler downed a glass of scotch. “Your punishment isn’t over,” he added with another puff from his pipe. He nodded and men grabbed Morris from behind. They pulled him from the hook and he sighed at the relief on his muscles before they threw him to the ground in front of a trough of water.
They thrust Morris’s head in and out of the water, never drowning him but never giving him enough time to breathe before shoving him back in.
I’m going to pass this along to… AK, Jason, and Nat Russo! I can’t wait to see some of their MSs
Happy to play but I have a question, I have one MS that is completed that I could do this with. My current WIPs are both wayyyyy shorter than 77 pages. Is that ok? Or should I use, say, page 7?
Your thoughts?
Oh, and I LOVE this peep. I want to know why poor Morris is being tortured, and if/when/how he will get away!
I’d do the one that’s finished as long as it’s not published. It’s supposed to build interest, so that’d be more important than your newer ones.
Okey doke. Will handle this after I get home this evening.
Yay!
I did both my completed and uncompleted (page 7 instead of 77, just like you said!)
