Thanks for posting this! I followed the directions exactly, and used the novel I’m currently reading. Here’s the result.


Learoyd spread out his hands as if he were carrying a large dish. All the lights in the room flared brighter, and then faded into twilit dimness. As the twelve guests shuffled uneasily, the door creaked open and a huge bullgfrog hopped in. When it opened its mouth a dozen fairies flew out, each rather ominously carrying a crossbow and arrows.

“Have you ever,” Aaron whispered to the man seated at his right, “heard of a wizard named ‘Learoyd’?”

Joel shook his head. “Nor have I heard of a ‘séance’ that included toads the size of rottweillers and a flock of armed and dangerous Tinkerbells. I hope you brought your revolver, because I think this pair of ghost-hunters just got in way over our heads.”


The Link: A Victorian Mystery by Robin Maugham, p. 131 [A book, btw, I do NOT recommend. I started reading it thinking it was a “mystery.” So far, the only mystery is where Maugham’s hiding the plot. ]

(Note: I hope to comment on a lot of the other threads as time permits. They’ve gotten so interesting lately! I’m at the querying phase of two novels right now, however, which is mega time consuming, so I’ll have to post as my schedule permits.)

Great job! You're quite good at this, I see! Hehe. And I think you are definitely in the right field when it comes to writing novels. I'll do this exercise myself in the next few days, promise!
