Memorable, no? Presenting, The 21 First Lines meme:

( My 21 favorite: )

I always struggle with the first line - not only does it need to set the hook for the reader, but it also sets the tone for me for all the rest that come after it. Sometimes I have to stop myself from spewing the entire story out into that one first sentence. If I were writing anything right now (which I'm not because of reasons that are trivial), it would be fun to have a ficathon where your prompt was your first line.

So, Timestamp prompt fills. Finally. Well, the first batch, anyhow. Still working on the remaining few, fear not.

since I actually have enough icons now to play this game...


If you want to play,

1. Reply to this post with "zeppelin", and I will pick five of your icons.

2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.

3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.

4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.
