I want to write a short story for a collection i'm working on so I was hoping you! the masses could suggest to me a first line or a last line or if you're daring enough maybe even both? But please have at me! | |||

This would definitely be in Muses' Sanctuary.
Any way. Last line: "I knew they had the house surrounded." (Last edited by Phoenix on 07-16-10 01:51 AM) |

Beginning:
My creative writing professor actually want to great lengths to suggest that the beginning line needs to not be cliche, and just puts the reader right where you want them. Too much time spent on a dramatic first line could just damage the story. In other words, I think that True's first line would be perfect, xD. But, I suggest for the beginning... Genre: Action/horror/fantasy: "Lightning flashed, and it began to rain." Drama: "He was tired. Too tired for all of this." The ending is a lot harder to give advice for. If you told me something about your story, I could probably tell you how to end it, but its really hard without knowing where you're going with the story. Just do as Steven King does, and make it up at the last minute. |
