Find the word tag
I was tagged by @wordsofpaintandsmoke, thank you!!
Words I had to find: lake, space, clear, eyes, alone
(I’ll do this for a few WIPs since I have several thousand in various stages of non-completion...Also I’m gonna post way more sentences than need be just cuz)
Lake:
(I looked through 7 documents before I found a WIP with this word, and it was a trashed draft consisting of only half a chapter). So, EOTU:
People don’t talk about the building across the lake. Everyone knows it’s there, but they’d rather believe it’s not. Jackson didn’t know why. After all, it wasn’t the building’s fault those kids went missing.
Space:
(Surprisingly could not find a single use of this word in my alien WIP from this year?? I did find one in my old camp nano draft of The Sky is Not Falling... Imma just post this convo, I don’t even remember writing this)
“I said a lot of things. I said I didn’t believe in the moon. Now what kind of fool believes that?”
“You also said Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were androids,” Connor reminded him.
“And I stand by that belief. You think America would really risk sending one of their own up there in the cold depths of space?”
“If it meant sticking it to the Russians, then yeah,” Jason sat down, “besides, android technology would have cost millions more than just sending up an astronaut.”
Joseph scoffed. “And when has debt ever stopped America from spending money on pointless things?”
Clear: (This one was much easier to find) So also from TSINF:
“Are you crazy?” Connor shouted.
“I thought I made it pretty clear that I was, yeah.” Joseph nodded.
Eyes: (God, I use this word way too much, thanks for bringing that to my attention, but um here’s one from The Dreamscape:
Falling. Falling. Falling. The world dissolved around him and there was only darkness, oblivion. Red eyes. Pointed teeth. Black, spindly limbs reaching out for him with shambling movements. It hooked a claw into his sweater, dragging him closer, closer, closer—
Alone: (Surprisingly TSINF again)
Jason tried to sway him. “We just want to take a look at it, nothing else, then hey, we’ll leave you alone for another three years.”
“While the prospect of not having to see you in my office again is tempting,” the sheriff sighed, “I’m not authorized to allow anyone near the site, crazy or not.”
