First Lines meme with a twist...
Oct. 15th, 2005 01:59 pmThere's a meme going around for authors to post the first lines of material they have in progress.
However, I don't always start with the first line, so to speak. I write scenes sometimes that are in the middle of a story and which therefore remind me of what I'm going to DO with it.
So I'll do the "first line written" definition -- that is, whatever chunk of material I've written from any story I'll take the first line from. Actually, I'll be more liberal; I'll take enough so it's not just some meaningless blurb (since I wouldn't be surprised if some of them just start with an exclamation like "What??".)
( Behind the Cut )
No guarantee about when, or whether, any individual ones of these will be finished...
