the_other_sandy: Yomiko Readman hugging a book (Agt. Paper Chibi)
Grabbed from...about half my flist, really.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
6. Tag five people.

I'm not tagging 5 people, but here's my go:

"I haven't written anything," came the reply. "I'm sure I could, but I wanted to get all the business aspects straight before I became a professional."

Jay Omega was beginning to understand why Appin Dungannon threw folding chairs. He wondered how to answer someone who thought of writing as just another business, and then he remembered a line that might apply. "Uh...well...it's like this," he stammered. "Being a professional writer is a lot like being a hooker. You'd better find out if you're any good at it before you start charging for it."

--Bimbos of the Death Sun by Sharyn McCrumb

I can't believe that worked out to exactly 7 sentences.
