I’m on a sharing roll… you know, sort of, so why not share more?

Jolene Perry of Been Writing is hosting the Lovin the Language blogfest today, and we can share five lines or five passages from our WIPs. I’ve been back to editing a little over the weekend, so I’m sharing the latest iteration of my opening paragraph (this is NOT in Frank‘s POV, btw).

In war, there are two enemies: the ones you’re fighting against and the ones you’re fighting alongside. The enemies on your side are always trickier. Although the war was over, I was still defending multiple fronts, as a Soviet diplomat, living in Paris, a woman. Despite my vigilance, the most devastating attack would come from a quarter I’d never anticipated. I would remember everything except the blast.

(This is five lines in my WIP, though it might be more or less as you’re reading it.)

Still agonizing over them, and probably will forever.

What lines would you share from your writing?
