First Lines Meme
Snagged idontlikegravy
Post the first lines from your last 20 stories and look for patterns. I included links to the stories for those curious where the line came from.
So here's the summary. 18/20 first lines included a character name and only one story - Ghost Town - did not include people at all. Only two started with dialog.
Since this was the summer of the Spawn fic challenge - 11 of them are about JD Winchester. Seems I written more stories about him than any other character this summer.
I had been worried because I was feeling like my muse had left and I hadn't written much lately. I look at this list and see that isn't true. All 20 stores were written since May!!! Holy crap that's a lot of stories in 3 months. Feeling much better about my Muse.
