Excerpt

"A first line should open up your rib cage. It should reach in and twist your heart backward. It should suggest that the world will never be the same again.

The opening salvo should be active. It should plunge your reader into something urgent, interesting, informative. It should move your story, your poem, your play, forward. It should whisper in your reader’s ear that everything is about to change."

Come, chat with us at on Sunday July 2nd 7PM EDT at The Writer's Chatroom where writers have been helping writers for twenty years.
