So, I've seen this going around & figured what they hey, I'm up, might as well. So here are some of my first lines...
Arion (Prologue)
"Marius, tell me a story," Arion said, gazing up at his older brother from the depths of his monstrous bed. "You haven't in ages."
Mordagrin (Prologue- might change as story evolves)
"No-" Marius's stomach plunged as he pushed away from his father's desk. "No! You- you can't be."
Wings & Fangs: Bewitched (Chapter One- Deirdre)
My fingers itch. That's usually the first sign, but I forgot. I mean, as symptoms go, it's kind-of weird.
Wings & Fangs: Taken (Scene One- David) (not in chapters yet)
"Where exactly am I?" I asked, looking around. As far as I could see there was nothing but unbroken field.
Broken Promise (Chapter One)
Can it be a rule that great-grandmothers do not leave demon-trapping rings lying around with their things? Especially without leaving specific instructions regarding the keeping of said demon inside said piece of jewelry…
Jora (Chapter Two- Cause Ch. 1 is probably getting cut)
The horse's hooves clopped softly on the dusty road. Jora held the reins loosely in one hand as she walked alongside her tall, tan* mare.
Knight School (Prologue? Chapter One? Haven't decided...)
I found a girl in the yard. He'd left her in a place where he knew I'd find her, be the first to see her hair glint in the sunlight, nearly trip over myself to check her pulse.
Yeah... those are all in various stages of completion... but they're my main ones. And really, all are subject to change if I come up with a better first line! ;-)
*No, Brittany, I have not yet changed the color of the horse. I realize horses are not tan. I will choose another color. Eventually.
*face palm*
*snerk*
How does one do this meme? Just list the first lines of however many works-in-progress?
Seems to be just listing first lines... Most ppl I've seen do this are, um, published/agented & use their books & short stories. So I just went with substantial WIPs & ones that had what I felt were actual "first lines."
