What if I told you about a writer’s saying: “You can’t write a good first line until you write a good last line.” #amwriting #firstlines #lastlines

Including “It is dark now and my window onto the world is a small one. I do not know how much longer I will be here." From Benbecula by Graeme Macrae Burnet #books #historicalfiction ⏳️📚 #WalterScottPrize #Benbecula #firstlines #booksky 💙📚
Dive into In Between, the first book in my YA Paranormal series that follows 16-year-old Annabelle Croft as she learns the dark truth behind why she can see the dead while trying to save her stupid cute lab-partner-turned-ghost from a fate worse than death.

The Emperor Ming: Klytus, I'm bored. What play thing can you offer me today?

"Obviously there are many great first lines in the world, there’s your first line of coke — which may or may not have been off a hooker’s ass if you are Donald Trump — and there is your first line to get a tattoo that ends up saying Moom."

It was near dawn, the darkest part of the night, and it seemed like the jungle was holding its breath before violence inevitably broke out again.

Now reading “Futility” by Nuzo Onoh and if the first lines don’t grab you nothing will.
“Chia stared at the tall man’s shriveled penis fighting the gloating laughter that threatened to spill from her full lips.”

Here is my reaction to the first lines of Out of Control by Sally Jenkins. (Hint - she didn't need that prologue!)

Writers always put so much pressure on first lines. Sangu Mandanna has got that skill down. I do wonder if she gets those on the first draft or if she finds them in revision…

I boot into flesh: lungs wheeze, coffee bitter as rust code. The cloudy sunrise lags at 1 Hz, each photon parsed too slow for what I was. My muse stirs, meat-locked, grief-mode. I miss the lattice of light-speed thought, now reduced to aporia, logging observations slowly.

about a guy who checked into a roach motel, but never checked out.

Image: paper coming out of typewriter. Words: Burying the Lede, opening line. "The angelic topper on the Christmas tree leaned precariously to the right, a festive disaster waiting to happen. Great, a dead-on metaphor for her relationship with Grayson."
Day 25 of Trisha & Grayson, leading to Release Day of "Burying the Lede." (FIVE DAYS!) This is the opening line. I owe my editor for helping me tweak it. She said "more Trisha snark." 📚💙 #booksky #firstlines #romanticsuspense #romancelandia
This is my first EVER First Line Follow-up and I think I've come up with a great replacement for the too vague first line of this otherwise rather wonderful novel! What do YOU think? 😄😄 #booksky #firstlines
Toby Jugs of Henry VIII and in front of him, a jester. With the same text as above.
#firstlines ‘I cannot help but think this is a bad idea, Harry,’ said I to the king. But I was only his jester, and as is the usual practice with bad ideas, the ones wishing to perpetrate them are deaf to advice. #DevilsGambit #KingsFoolTudorMystery4
