It’s Friday again, so you know what that means: it’s #FirstLineFriday! On Fridays, I title one post #FirstLineFriday, hashtag and all, and I post the first or first two lines of a potential story, story-in-progress, or published work. It’s something I picked up from a writer’s group I belong to on Facebook, and I’m hoping to spread it through the blogosphere (I already know one author who’s trying it as frequently as she can).
This weeks entry comes from the second novel of a potential trilogy I plan to write some day soon (if I can ever get that far, between everything going on in my life):
As I get older, it seems humanity finds more ways to be afraid of, hate, and hurt itself. If I still believed in God, I’d thank Him that I’m a recluse, but of course I don’t believe in Him and with good reason too.
Thoughts? Errors? Critiques? Let me know, I’m happy to discuss.
All for now, my Followers of Fear. This weekend I plan on working on a short story and looking for whatever job comes after this internship. Wish me luck on both and have a great weekend!
I like it! It’s nice and punchy! If I were beta-reading I’d strike out the “too” but that’s a personal thing 😉
You know, I wouldn’t mind you beta-reading one of my books one of these days. I’d bet you’d do a very good job with it.
I’d be happy to! 🙂
Awesome! I’ll send you a message when I’ve got something I need beta-reading.
