Still working at it lol.

I already used it to open one of my books. The four words got the first editor to see them to request a full manuscript and contracted the work for publication within a week.

"Sometimes I hear voices."

The line led off a self-help book I wrote for abused women.

It would be about 4 divorced women & the title would be "Sex in the Suburbs".

First line:

It took getting a divorce to realize not only did I enjoy sex, I excelled in it.

"Life Rarely Goes As Predicted"

At no time during my life would I have been able to predict that I would be where I currently am. However, it has been a wonderful ride. And, I'm looking for more.

Well I've been a slacker posing this question and disappearing... my first line would be:

'Autumn (ok, Fall) leaves scuttled across the pavement like cockroaches...'

I started this story about a year ago, then changed focus and started another one instead which is better. Oh, yes, that's not finished either, lol.

Has anyone done NaNoWrimo? I did it 2 years ago and it was a great way to kick start a novel/novella. If you don't know already, the acronym stands for National Writing Month, http://www.nanowrimo.org/ started off by some guys in San Francisco. It's really fun and really challenging.

She reminded me of someone else I had never met before.

It was a dark and stormy night. Wait that's been used. Okay, I'll try this one. She walked into the room like she owned it.

Cool question. I like many of the posts. Me, I write mystery novels on the side. i hope to finish the third book in the series by the summer. Here's the first sentence of the first one, The Lost Gold of San Francisco: "Orange hair flying, Patrick Reilly guided his winded mare through the throng crowding Mission Street—pedestrians, bicyclists, pushcart peddlers, horse-drawn wagons, and the occasional horseless carriage, which, in the new century, people were calling 'cars.'"

"Grandma, please tell us the story of why you wear all those emerald rings!"

"If you can't stand MY Heat, DON"T come into MY kitchen."

life is like a mountain railroad with no trains

The dark blue skies of winter loomed over the mountain passes ready to softly place its blanket of white snow upon them.

The beginning of a novel set in the west...most likely, Wyoming

Suddenly, I realize that I am terrified of my life long best friend.
