I feel that I have come to the over halfway point in the book i'm writing... i mean, that means nothing considering that I could write twice as much as I expect before I finally feel that the story has been told...
You know, I'm just feeling lost when it comes to what to post today. Kinda reminds me of the sketch from Kids in the Hall where they had the one guy play an author who wrote through his writers block... something like this: "the night was... ahhhh, ummm? how was the night? oooohhh ummm ahhhh? it was... it was... ummmm" and so on. Kinda funny.
I love trying to think of opening lines... though I usually have a story first, every so often an opening line will spark a story. Two books started that way: "The cat was the first person Twitch met when he woke up..." from Twitch and the Cat and "suicide should have been an easy thing, Uri thought as he woke up the next morning after taking all the sleeping pills the night before" from Deus ex Machina. The book I'm writing now starts with "As most young boys of any time period, Charz looked into the unknown with awe and wonder." It's not bad, but I can tell that I started with a story not a first line.
Okay.... I've had a lot of coffee and can no longer sit here... maybe I'll take a nap?
