Pitch Perfect but I am really out of tune.

Note: This is NOT a finished manuscript, but a WIP I just thought this was two much fun not to play. 

So, apparently I am a writer. But wait, how can I claim that when you've never seen anything I've written aside from blogging (which I still maintains counts). Anyway, I came across a blog hop today which seems like tons of fun. 

Brenda Drake over at Brenda Drake is hosting a blog hop called "Can you hit a perfect pitch" 

The idea is you post a pitch for your finished manuscript (YA or Middle Grades) with a max of 33 words AND the first 150 words of your manuscript. 

And I've been meaning to write a pitch forever...just like I've been meaning to finish writing forever.

Title: Sacrifice (pending)
Genre: YA Fiction
Word Count: 62,000 (approximate) 

Pitch: 

Leni never expected to live long. Very few sacrifices survive to turn eighteen. But with her birthday looming, things beyond her control give her a choice; it changes things she never expected. 

First 150 Words: 

“I know what you are!” he shouted.

She was walking away, but paused. Right hand instinctively grabbing her forearm to make sure it was covered. Turning slightly, lips pressed together, blood spatter coating her clothes, dripping to the floor off her cloak. Her boot smudged the carnage around her, “I am leaving you alive. I don’t have to."

“How young were you? When you first went through? You’re a youngen now. Like the ones they sent you with, but they’re different, they aint sacrifices. They’re meant for the priesthood.”

Leni smiled slightly, taking him in. He was tall, and skinny, graying hair of an inn owner who had broken up enough fights in his day.

“I was six.” It was a split second decision, to tell the truth. She would be beaten if anyone knew, but she would be beaten anyway.

“Impossible,” he muttered, but Leni was already out the door.

Now that I've proved myself, or at least proved that at some point I have written 150 words, go forth and check out other blogs. Please. Here's the link again. Now go. Go I mean it. Okay I'm done. See you back here on Wednesday. I hope
