Thank you so much for allowing me to stop by today!
Opening Lines. They set the mood. Draw you in. And as writers, we hope they’ll spark your interest enough to keep you reading till the end.
As a writer sometimes it’s really hard to come up with that first line. Sometimes you write it over and over and over before you end up going back to the first version. It can be frustrating and scary. But once you get it right, it’s awesome.
None of my stories are the same. The mood is always different and sometimes I really want you to get a sense of the lead character right away. As the reader, I want you to know the depth of their world and whether you’re going to have a fun, easy read or perhaps one you know will be a real kick in the heart. Today I thought I’d give you the opening lines from my Sweet, Texas series just so you can see how diverse they might be and if just from that single line if you can tell what type of story you’re about to read.
HOME SWEET HOME
When you grew up in a town the size of a flea circus anonymity was impossible.
ANYTHING BUT SWEET
Trouble rolled into downtown Sweet on the spinning wheels of a yellow Hummer.
SWEETEST MISTAKE
In the split second before hell exploded, Jackson Wilder picked up his weapon and pounded the bastard back.
SWEET FORTUNE
For most people it took a life-changing event to realize one needed to make changes, for Sarah Randall, it started with a cookie.
SOMETHING SWEETER
Jesse Wilder prided himself on two things: his dedication to his family and that he was the best damned veterinarian in Sweet, Texas—everything else was up in the air.
SWEET SURPRISE
Fiona Wilder did not like being the center of attention, the intense scrutiny never failed to make her feel like she had toilet paper stuck to the bottom of her shoe, or that the back of her dress was caught up in her panty hose and her rearview assets were out there for everyone to observe.
Do you have a favorite opening line?
