With National Novel Writing Month only a few days away, I'm begining to realize that I'll need to craft my own first line in very little time. I just read this one the other day:
"OK, so here I am, Lee Morris, opening doors and windows to gusts of life and early death."
Decider - Dick Francis
By no means the best first line I've ever read, but despite that he does a terrific job in the next few pages of emmersing the reader into the life of the protagonist. I'm up to chapter 3 now, so it obviously did it's job.
