holy cow, more writing memes.

  • Go to page 123 of the nearest book.
  • Find the 5th sentence.
  • Write down the next 3 sentences. (Or, paragraph!)
  • Pippin, why?!

    Anyhow. The closest books are cookbooks, followed by the dictionary, so I took the next one.

    “The conductor let his arms fall limply at his sides and stood quite still as darkness claimed the forest. ‘That was a very beautiful sunset,’ said Milo, walking to the podium. ‘It should be,’ was the reply; “we’ve been practicing since the world began.’ And, reaching down, the speaker picked Milo off the ground and set him on the music stand.”

    That’s from The Phantom Tollbooth, a children’s book that I absolutely adore.
