I have been tagged by Colleen Chesebro, of Silver Threading to participate in the 777 Writing Challenge. She tagged me on June 8th and I have to apologise for the slight delay in my response. Colleen has a wonderful blog that entertains and motivates and worth a visit.

The rules of the 777 Writing Challenge are as follows:

‘The 777 challenge requires you go to Page 7 of your work-in-progress, scroll down to Line 7 and share the next 7 sentences in a blog post. Once you have done this, you can tag 7 other bloggers to do the same with their work-in-progress.

Here is my WIP titled Circumstances of Childhood and here are the seven lines from page seven.

“My dad was always too busy to take us where Greg’s dad had the time to go. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my dad, and he did what he could. His events were mostly movies and ballgames. They were fun but not like living an adventure on each outing.

The news of Greg’s dad’s passing was like an explosion. One minute Greg and I were happy kids without a worry in the world and then awareness blew in with some of the miserable facts of life. It was a curtain lifted in a play. Before the news, it was all music and excitement and then the reality of the story hit.”

My seven nominees are: Susan Nicholls , Phil McCollum, C.S.Boyack, Nicholas Rossis, K.K.Allen, Lorraine Adair, Katie Cross.

I look forward to what you have written.
