WIP meme

[shivver]

So, bas_math_girl tagged me for this meme on Tumblr, and I'm posting my answer here, mostly because I don't get Tumblr. It's probably just not a good platform for me: I'm not a visual person (as you can tell by my crappy userpics). I won't reblog other people's stuff unless it's really really good, and even if I were to write what I want to say there, I'm too verbose for that site - no one will read miles and miles of text.

Anyway, here's the meme. I'm doing it because I looked up the lines it refers to and I'm actually rather happy with them. And, they are obscure enough that you might just want to find out more...

The rules: Go to page 7 of your WIP, go to the seventh line, share seven sentences, and tag 7 more writer-bloggers to continue the challenge.

Thus, he bulled his way through the crowd in the direction of the TARDIS, rubbing the crystal of the screwdriver in his hand with his thumb.

The readings on the instrument were normal, no anomalies in either space or time in this vaulted shopping mall. This was exactly what he expected: a normal day in a normal place. The problem was in his own head. He had definitely been here alone in the Galleria, but he also remembered being in a Chiswick park with Donna, though that was a distant memory, almost as if it had happened to someone else. He spied an empty bench and trotted over to it, sitting down to think hard and try to fix the memory in his mind.

What did he remember about Donna?

This sounds intriguing... What did he remember about Donna? She's kind of unforgettable, even if she can't remember. Sigh...

I used to be like that about tumblr, but then my latest fandom is literally only on there, so I kind of had to engage with it if I wanted to fandom. For the record, there are plenty of people who read verbose stuff over there (I may or may not be a little too verbose for the site, too! But people read it anyway!!) and I would absolutely read what you had to say. Is your user name the same? I may go look you up ...

Also, those lines are intriguing. I will look forward to this being posted when it happens.

It's easy to understand why you have reservations about tumblr, because it is a very visual online space. I treat it all as a personal scrapbook most of the time.

Oooh, what an intriguing set of 7 sentences. I'm intrigued to know the rest of this story you've started. :D

Very interesting paragraph!

I'm with you on Tumblr. I've tried posting stuff there and I just don't like that you can't comment unless you reblog. It's extremely annoying to me.

You've got me hooked with that extract.:)

I'm just trying to navigate around LJ, so I only browse through Tumblr.

I took one of those memory/learners test once. That's how I found out that I don't do well with visuals.
