It’s Friday, so you know what that means. It’s #FirstLineFriday! As always, I’ll be laying out the rules, while reminding everyone that you can do #FirstLineFriday too on your own blogs. Trust me, it’s a ton of fun and you don’t want to miss it.
With that being said, here are the rules for #FirstLineFriday:
- You type up a post with the title #FirstLineFriday, hashtag and all
- You explain the rules like I’m doing
- You post the first one or two lines of a potential story, a story-in-progress, or a completed or published story.
- You ask your readers for feedback on the line or lines you’ve posted.
Everybody got that? Good! On we go. Here’s my entry for this week’s #FirstLineFriday, a possible beginning for a novel I had an idea for earlier this week:
The stormy waves rose higher and higher, sometimes slipping over the side of the ferry and onto the deck. Yet despite how angry the sea was right now, it seemed too much to hope for that the ferry would capsize and they would all drown.
How do you find that? Should it be shortened? Anything I could leave out? Let’s discuss.
Well, that’s all for now. I’ve got a busy day planned for today, so I’m going to get right on it. Wish me luck, my Followers of Fear!
