Oy. I keep commiting to things on this blog that I actually don't want to do at all. I mean, that was the point: accountability. But this latest idea of mine really takes the idiot cake. What kind of masochist puts themselves through this kind of stress? "Gee! You know what's a good idea? I'll write some potential first lines of my completely unbegun novel and then I'll post them for people to look at and realize that I shouldn't be writing a book at all! That'll give this ole horse some git up and go!"
Ugh. Vote for the one you hate the least.
1. Some people work for something, and others just work; Grace Lowe, like every Lowe, had no choice.
2. On her eighteenth birthday, Grace could only think of it as the five-year-anniversary of her life dying.
3. She would never call herself a slave.
4. With the morning always came the reminder: You're still here.
5. Bless and curse this house.
6. In the small of the morning, the desperation was mild.

#1 or #6. I think #6. And I think this is a brilliant exercise.
Interesting! The funny thing is putting one sentence out there is really . . . bizarre. They all sound terribly dramatic, but the rest of the paragraph wouldn't be . . . you know?
Thanks for voting!
I like #1 or maybe #4 :o)
1 0R 2 for me.
I really like two, but one feels safer because it does not mention death.
p.s. can we hang out soon? lenny is leaving me to go on vacation for 2 weeks!
My gut says #1!! "You go, girl" haha. In other words, you are awesome.
#6, I think. I love this game!!
