I won an award for my opening statement in an as yet unreleased story for the MASKED MARAUDER MATINEE.
The #JustWrite Fostering Creativity award for last month’s challenge to write an addicting first line goes to Caine Dorr, from Vancouver, WA. His winning entry:
“You know what would help me calm down some? If you go down there and put a bullet between her eyes!”
Caine’s hook starts in the middle of a tense situation. We don’t know what’s going on yet, but the speaker is clearly agitated. “Down there” evokes the image of a heroine trussed up in the cellar, mad scientist’s underground lab, or subterranean cave. And already, the threat of violence!
You can find out more about the contests and join in the fun over at FOSTERING CREATIVITY here.
