This blogfest is 2 fold: today participants are supposed to post the first line from 3 or more chapters of their WIP, and Wednesday participants will post the last line from 3 or more chapters. These opening lines come from my current contemporary YA novel, Accidentally Me.
I have a stalker.
I spend the better part of my Friday morning in the zoo’s small animal house with Lonestar, the nine-banded armadillo.
A waiting room is the perfect place to be assaulted by your guilt.
As I wait for Calvin in a booth at Starbucks, I can’t help thinking that there’s a certain poetry in ending this relationship where it began.
The water tower rises from the ground like a gigantic spider.
The wedding announcement arrives Tuesday without warning.
I am stalking my stalker.
That's all for now folks! Now I'm off to check me out some more hookers...
Um, I love these! The first one is awesome, and I really like the Starbucks one, but my favorite is "I am stalking my stalker." bahah. Love! They are definitely intriguing :)
ReplyDeleteYou do have great hookers! I loved the stalking my stalker.

ReplyDeleteLove them all. Perfect last one. Haha. I love it. I love the water tower being compared to a spider and the Starbucks one was pretty great too. Okay, so I like them all. ;0)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for you hangers.
Number seven is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteOOOH! Great hooks. Although the word "spider" officially has me freaked out!
ReplyDeleteThese are really strong! I think I love the first two the best! And the water tower one. Well done!

ReplyDeleteI love both of the stalker lines, and I can relate to feeling guilt in a waiting room. Great hookers!
ReplyDeleteLove them! I'm hooked. Especially by the stalked becoming the stalker!
ReplyDeleteGreat! I love the synchronicity with the first and last. And great description on the water tower. It sounds like your WIP has a lot going on!
ReplyDeleteIt is 'stalking my stalker' for me as well, but also loved the rest.
ReplyDeleteI love the waiting room line.
ReplyDelete#2 cracked me up. These are fantastic girlie :)
ReplyDeletethese are perfect! love them! want to read more!
ReplyDeleteokay, oh my goodness, I want to read your book...
ReplyDeletefew things are funnier than a random armadillo mention, but #4 is my favourite :)
Great lines! I love how the first and last lines are linked by stalking :) I too love the armadillo mention.
ReplyDeleteOther than those I'd probably choose this one as my favourite for poetic reasons: "The water tower rises from the ground like a gigantic spider."
I do love that stalking my stalker line though.
So...when are you going to let me read this elusive work in progress?
