Challenge
Who has got the BEST First Liner?
Can you make us thirsty for an entire novel by writing your BEST first line?
Write the BEST first line to the next story that you never knew you wanted to tell. Sell us on your big idea in forty (40) words or less, no more. Draw us in by saying everything to overwhelm our minds with excitement or say just enough to lure us in and have us lusting for the next four-hundred pages. Any Genre is allowed. The object is to grab us at the beginning and to make us never want to let go. Must be done in one sentence. Happy writing!
You’ll never see a better sunset than when the world is on fire: ash particles suspended in the air capture light. If you look long enough, the sky and earth become one– and in their oneness, they both burn.
