Browsing Jo Linsdell’s writers and authors blog, I noticed that Jack Sorenson had commented on opening story lines:
What advice can you offer writers just breaking into a serious writing career?
Use wise choices in the begining of your first chapters. Use good synopsis that is to the point in less than fifty words.
I recently visited a writers forum and suggested that members submitted short story and novel first lines that they had written and were proud of.
To me, this was an important issue since I’ve always thought great first lines were vital to grab reader’s interest and get them to read on into the story.
I was amazed at the lack of response even though it is a busy forum.
It appears that, either a lot of authors do not agree about the importance of opening lines or don’t have anything that they think is good enough to showcase.
Bye for now
