Uninspiring First Lines

Feb 14, 2011 08:09


The first line of your short story or novel can hook the reader into reading the rest.  Below are some rather uninspiring first lines.  Brainstorm/List new first lines that will catch your attention.  You can use this exercise as a way to limber your writing muscles before a writing session.

The locals say the house is haunted.
The frog jumped.
The shelves were empty.
I received a parking ticket.

Have fun!
