HELP!


NaNoWriMo started yesterday but I can't get my imagination to comply. I need your assistance in getting my muse on the rollerdisco floor. So...

1) Please choose a work of fiction sitting near you.
2) Randomly select a sentence (not a paragraph; just a sentence).
3) Stick it in this post's comments section (not forgetting to include the source).

Thank you. This will be a great aid. I'll attempt to use all the sentences in the first few chapters of my novel, and hopefully that will be enough to get things flowing.

The two nearest works of fiction to me are a Victorian edition of the complete plays of Shakespeare, and Bellwether, by Connie Willis; I chose the latter, because I wasn't sure you'd want to deal with Shakespearian English!

I could have always worked in 'Spear's English into the dialogue, or a poster on the wall. But the sentece you gave me is perfect.
