New thread, moved from Novels to Office Party! Please read the instructions below before posting. This is not a critique section.

Rules:
Post the last sentence you wrote in your WIP today. (It's okay if it's not perfect. Nobody's judging. We're just having fun.)

Q&A:
Q: Does my sentence have to be from a novel?
A: No. It can be from a novel, short story, non-fiction, whatever you like. Everybody gets the same chance to show off. :)

Q: What if my last sentence isn't so great?
A: It doesn't matter. You don't have to post it. But if you want to, you can use this thread as a way to keep yourself accountable to yourself and track your daily writing habit.

Q: Can I comment on someone else's sentence if I see a typo or if I think it's the greatest thing I've ever read?
A: No. This isn't a critique section. If you are so deeply moved by someone else's sentence that you simply must share your awe and delight, you can Convo the author and tell them. It'll probably make their day!

Q: Can I post more than one sentence?
A: No.

Q: What happens if I post more than one sentence?
A: If @Silenia The Nice sees it, they'll ask you to edit your post. If @Unimportant The Grouch sees it, the birdbrain may jump straight to the next step and peck block you from the thread or, if things get repeatedly abused, give up on these Show Off Your Sentence threads and just lock them all.

Instead, she lay awake on her bed, staring numbly into darkness, waiting for a sleep that never came.

The canal clearly wasn’t meant for ships that size.

We both entered at the same time, and my skin prickled from the biting heat as the liquid lapped over me.

He wasn't replaceable, but he wasn't wanted!

It was the third grocery store Zo’d been to tonight, and they doubted they’d find toilet paper here, either.

And devil take him if he'd give Fiyo — smiling, ginger Fiyo, fresh as a flower and sly as a snake — the pleasure of a reaction.

@VeryVerity, unfortunately for you, this one came to me instead of @Silenia.

I will, this one time, channel my itsy bitsy tiny nonexistent inner nice-person-Selenia and ask you to please edit your post accordingly.
