July 31st post comes early: A Starter for You from Rachael Frey

          Ok, I’m getting ready to embark on a 17-HOUR flight to Singapore, so tomorrow’s post is coming, well…tonight. As in just before I leave. As in now.

          It’ll be short and sweet (maybe not so sweet, but short) because of that, too. Here’s the beginning line to Rachael Frey’s “The Lost Twice Legend,” and I have to say, it might just be my new favorite of all time:

The fetus was a legend at my school.

         Just TRY to write a more compelling first line than that…oh, which reminds me…

Try this:

          Today’s “Try this” depends on whether you want to write a little or a lot. If you want to write a little, then challenge yourself and attempt to create the best first line ever. If you want to write a lot, tell me what the rest of the story is for Frey’s first line.

Coming tomorrow: Nothing. This was it for tomorrow, because after a 17-hour flight, I think I’ll want to grab some zzzzzzzzzzz’s…but AFTER that, I think we might be looking at a series for you HORROR writers out there!
