Life as I know it...on my way to birth a book.

Thursday Thirteen Vol. 1

Thursday, December 7, 2006

Thirteen ways I could write the first sentence of my novel, if I were brave enough to write one.

1. This has been a crappy day.

2. Freedom at last!

3. Why oh why, Oh Lord?

4. I knew I should have listened to Mom.

5. I wish I were dead.

6. She's never going to have a happiest day in her life.

7. If only I am driven enough to write a book.

8. Writing is certainly not as easy as it sounds.

9. I can make witty come-backs, but only in my head; never when I really needed it.

10. If only life is a book, then we could all go back and re-read the pages.

11. Writing my first sentence is not easy, it's pretty much like bleeding a turnip.

12. An honest days job is beyond her; in fact, anything with honest is never going to work.

13. Will I ever get horny?

I'd vote for #6 because it is about someone else and draws in the reader.

My TT is up. I'm wondering.

I think I've written a dozen 1st pages to my book by now. All have different subjects, characters, settings...
And still I can't seem to find 'the' starter.
I wish you good luck though, I hope soon we'll know which one you chose :)
Happy TT!

Interesting. My own just started out "There was a small problem with the dragons" and meandered about from there.
