Participate in my creative writing!

Date: April 5, 2008

Just a little cross-posting from Chawlk:

I’ve been in a writing mood lately (see here, if you like creative writing), but I feel like doing something a bit different from the norm. So, my guys and gals, if you would be so kind, give me opening sentences to begin stories with!

In your replies, please include your name and a website address if you have one. I’ll attribute you for the opening bit on my website.

No guarantees of superb quality, but I’ll give it a go. If you hate what I create with your opening sentence, feel free to curse me. My writing is not genre-specific, so expect anything. I do, however, have a bit of a passion for science fiction and drama.

Thanks to anyone who takes part. :)

So yes, if anyone here wants to contribute a starting sentence, feel free!

Kind of topic ?

p.s: I just came across from the 9rules discussion.

“It was one o’clock exactly when the phone call arrived bearing the news of my tragic death of the night before. As you can imagine, I was pretty surprised to hear about it; I’d run all the way across the room from my bed to answer the phone.”

I’m half-asleep so I can’t tell if that’s any good or not. :|

Wait, wait, wait, what the crap?! I feel silly now, because after writing something (I’m going through your site in chronological order now that I’ve finally organised my RSS feeds again) I see that the first creative writing that you’ve done since this article has pretty much exactly the same opening sentence.

Is it just me or is death on a lot of people’s minds lately? :|
