Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
My Teasers:
“Discipline has always been a cruel word. I always think of it as beating my lazy part into submission, and that never works.”
~ p.25, “Writing Down the Bones“ by Natalie Goldberg
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your 2 ‘teasers’ in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks!

As both a musician and a writer who has no discipline at all, I can feel this author’s pain.

Interesting – and true – teaser.

This fits so well with my own current read. Here’s a teaser from Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell:
“That’s the way it’s done in first phase: the exit ritual. There were now a dozen helmets signifying resignation, and we hadn’t even had lunch on day one.”
Great Teaser

Here’s mine:
“The corporations are the powers that determine identity. The corporations tell us who we are and what we can become. And the corporations offer the only route to personal fulfillment and salvation. If we are not happy there is something wrong with us.”

Great quote. My discipline is lazy to even think about getting my lazy parts in gear
I found about this meme through the blog “Novroz’s Favourite Things”. It’s a really great idea and is a meme that I’ll certainly be undertaking again!
This is my post for Tuesday 11th of May, albeit a little late
