Writing Meme! Snagged from tumblr - let's do this!
FIRST — the first two sentences of my current project
LAST — the most recently written two sentences of my current project
NEXT — the next line. meaning i will finish the sentence I’m on and write a new one, which you’ll get.
[insert prompt here] — you post a prompt, and i’ll write three sentences based on that prompt, set in the same time/setting as my current project
THE END — i’ll make up an ending, or post the ending if i’ve written it
BEFORE THE BEGINNING — three sentences (or more) about something that happened before the plot of my current project
POV — something that’s already happened, retold from another character’s perspective
In other news, I woke up this morning in a panic, checked my clock and saw that it was 6:48am. I threw off the covers, grabbed my bath stuff, ran down the stairs, frantically turned on the bath (because the shower is broken), dashed downstairs, feeling HORRIBLE because I didn't call my mother the night before, because I ALWAYS call my mom on Sunday nights, and my husband (who was already up) looks at me very concerned.
Him: What's wrong?
Me: I didn't set my alarm. I have to take a bath in only ten minutes. And I didn't call mom last night!
Him: ...it's Sunday.
Me: No, it isn't.
Him: ...yes, it is. *shows me the date on his computer*
Me: ...
Me: ...
Me: Jesus effing Christ.
Him: Go back to sleep.
Me: Yep. I'll just turn off the tap in the bathtub.
And now I feel weird and panicky. Argh. Happy Sunday?

So...you're wanting us all to do the writing meme? I have five WIP stories open in tabs right now. You want brief descriptions so you can pick? Roll the dice?

“And your eyes are the bluest eyes I think I’ve ever seen,” she said staring up at them.
He stared down at her and Nora had the strangest sensation slip over her. It had been so long since she’d felt so…studied and found…well, certainly not wanting if the intensity of his gaze was anything to go by.
Not that there was any point to anything because he was, as had been said before, a ghost.
Nora looked away first.

“You know the thing they never mention about doing bad things in all the morality plays and fables?” he asked.
“What?” she asked uneasily.
“The fact that it’s so easy,” he said stepping in close and meeting her eyes as her head tilted back. “It’s the easiest thing in the world to do and before you know it? You’re in over your head with no way out.”
She looked up at him and Cage was suddenly aware of just how close she was and how warm the kitchen was and that it smelled like blueberry muffins and god damn it, talk about over your head -this was one dangerous woman and she hadn’t even touched him.
He stepped back. “I’m just saying. That wasn’t just some guy asking for – what the hell was he asking for anyways?”
“Macarons,” she said smiling a little. “They’re little pastries made out of egg whites and jam. Very light and sweet.” She frowned. “And a devil to make, actually. I almost wish you were right and that he wants something other than macarons.” Her eyes darted back up to his. “Not that you areright. This is a bakery, Mr. Standish. Not a den of iniquity.”
When she pulled out a tray of perfectly baked blueberry muffins, he wondered if she was right about that.
