Sevens and Plot Structure

Once again, I'm delighted to be mentioned in the Lucky 7 challenge - this time by lovely writer and blogging friend, Angela Barton. One of the nice things about this challenge is finding out what other writers are currently working on, or have just completed.

The rules again are that we go to page 77 of our WIP, count 7 lines down, and copy down the next 7 sentences into our blog post. Then we should pass the challenge on to 7 others! So here goes with a little passage from the current novel I'm trying to finish, Midwinter Masquerade:

He regarded her in mock surprise. “Why Miss Montgomery, you do me a great injustice. I merely happened upon you at the most opportune moment. But I can certainly try to ensure I stay well away from you in future, lest you should actually injure me in your escapades.”

Annabelle was uncomfortably aware she still stood far too close to her rescuer and could actually see the light change in his eyes. Suitably chastened for her rudeness, she stood back a little, unable to hide her embarrassment at being caught in such difficulty again. And this time with a torn dress!

Rather than pass this on to specific people again, please feel free to take this challenge on your own blogs and let me know so I can read what you're writing!

In case anyone has never come across Michael Hauge's Story Mastery website, here's a link to his excellent article Ten Simple Keys to Plot Structure. Just need to take time to study it now!
