It appears the Lucky 7 Meme zombie virus for writer-bloggers has arrived on my front porch via <a href="http://bit.ly/GBwTLT" target="_blank">Cora Ramos</a>!<a href="http://judythewriter.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/lucky71.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-269 alignleft" title="lucky7" src="http://judythewriter.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/lucky71.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>

I thought I might escape being in lurker mode and all. Not so...Cora found me. 

Unfamiliar with The Lucky Meme virus?

These are the rules:

1. Go to page 77 of your current MS/WIP
2. Go to line 7
3. Copy down the next 7 lines, sentences, or paragraphs, and post them as they’re written.
4. Tag 7 authors, and let them know.
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Game on</strong></p>
<strong>My Seven Lines:</strong>  

<em>Annie bit her lip. Two cots barely fit in the room. The shower looked like an RV bath. Still it had a floor, no dirt, and a door, not a piece of cloth, and there was even plenty of bottled water beneath the bedside table. “Thank you, Mr. Welds.” And, thank you, Aunt Gerry.</em>

<em>“Please. It’s Fred. See you at the house.”</em>

<em>A short time later, they gathered around the table in the tiled dining area. Martha served fried plantains and a vegetable salad with a pitcher of fruit water.</em>

<em>“I’d go easy on the sauce. It takes some getting used to,” Fred warned.</em>

<em>Erin began to cough, grabbed her glass and chug-a-lugged all the liquid. “Ya say?”</em>

<em>The laughter that followed drained some of the tension from Annie’s shoulders. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad.</em>

 Annie's not talking about playing Lucky 7 Meme, but I have to agree this virus isn't so bad!

Rule #3 was easy.

Rule #4, a bit harder. I'm hoping they'll join the fun! Even if they don't check out their websites.
