Even though I know I shouldn’t, I do it anyway.  You probably do, too.  What are your favorite methods of not doing the thing you know you should be doing?  What are the distractions that drive you to distraction?  Which things do you do that you really don’t like, but do anyway?  I’ll start.

How fun! I love little activities like this.  And there’s been some ripper lines there.  Paul, yours was very Douglas Adams.  Rebecca, you should have stuck with "no - stop!" Out of context, that’s quite intriguing and potentially very funny. 

I’m not sure I understood the task right.  I took it literally, going to the fifth line as Inkshares presented it, and then captured whichever complete sentence I found there.

Here’s my from my fantasy novel Kanimbla:  "On any other day, Dale would have been awake for hours, sitting with his back against a tree waiting patiently for the first animals of the day to make their way down one of the many small creeks that dotted the landscape – but today was no ordinary day."

And from my sci fi short story Sunraysia:  "Garuda 9 loomed in the atmosphere above, far too big to land on this little rock."

Cheers!

Here’s the fifth line from my book. The line references a child pickpocket cutting purses in a crowded market street. It’s a short line with not much to it, but the whole chapter is available in the link.

Welcome to Inkshares! We have a very supportive author community here, but sometimes the forum isn’t the best way to communicate. There is a community Slack which has been set up for questions, fun, and networking - and we’d love to invite you to it!

I gotcha covered.

Every time someone likes Evan’s party parrot post the giant party parrot goes on the newsfeed. Which is justification enough to do it. ;)

"Cavity inducing cards." I love that!
