Writing Strong Opening Lines

This is the kind of information your first line should provide:

the name of the character (the speicifcity creates and illusion of reality from the get-go)

Notify that something bad is about to happen.

Provide a feeling of motion (it doesn’t neccessarily have to be the character moving)

Talk about a (small) disturbance to the character’s everyday life.

Types of Novel Openings

Action (in medias res)

Jump into the story with no delay - have something interesting happening.

“They threw me off the hay truck about noon."

2. Dialogue

Show conflict between the characters speaking.

“Isn’t it true you ahve a motive to lie?” / “Excuse me?”

3. Raw Emotion

Make readers sympathize with the MC, who is experiencing a strong, universal emotion (like sadness, anger, etc.).

“I do not look. I don’t ask where. I don’t because Annie’s mother died seven months ago. I stand motionless in the line, looking just like everyone else except for the hot tears that have begun to sting my eyes.”

4. Look-back Hook

Suggest that there is a not-to-be-missed story that’s about to be told

“The terror, which would not end for another twenty-eight years — if it ever did end — beganm, so far as I can tell, with a boat made from a sheet of newsppaer gloating down a gutter swollen with rain”

5. Attitude

When using first-person narration, show some attitude and unique voice.

“If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.”

6. Prologues - entice the reader to move to chapter 1

Action Prologue: Start off with some big scene, often involving death

Framing a story - give the reader the view of a character about to look back and tell the story.

The teaser - present a scene at the beginning that will happen later on in the book

@referentblood asked: "happy birthday, cyvel," his tone is gentle, words softly spoken with tenderness, hands outstretched to hold out a present he had got for him. He was lucky that he could afford the time to hand deliver cyvel's gift today, instead of relying upon his staff to do it for him, and it just meant more to aymeric to do it in person in the first place. He could see his smile, hear his reaction, instead of imagining it.

He had put a lot of thought into his gift, a wonderful journal masterfully bound in leather with cyvel's name embossed on it's front, with intricate flowers carved along it's expanse. Inside he had written a quick note, 'a place to write down all your words, where you might think of me when you do and know that each letter is dear to me.'

Accompanying the notebook, aymeric as bought a lovely set of quills and ink for cyvel's supplies, so he wouldn't have to purchase anymore for some time. They weren't as special as the journal, but they were some of aymeric's favorite inks and pens.

"I hope you've had a wonderful day, as wonderful a day as you are a person."

When his singular member of housing staff had nigh burst into the greenhouse, Cyvel had feared that something was wrong; his heart leapt into his throat immediately, panic rising into his chest - though all calmed for the expanse of a few heartbeats upon hearing that ‘twas the Lord Commander of whom had dropped in for a rather swift visit.

Nervousness only claimed his heart once he had already descended once set of stairs; having to pause for a moment as he made attempts to ease the utter racing within his chest and the uneasiness of his breathing. Thickly did he swallow, using the very tips of fingers to tidy his hair - thankful that he had already washed his hands from repotting certain plants - though had entirely missed the number of petals in the back of his silvery strands.

Finally having pulled himself together, Cyvel continued the descent down the second staircase and into the foyer where he met the sight of the Lord with a small smile - happiness far more evident in the shimmer of pale eyes. The visit alone meant more than the poet would ever be able to speak of, though it blossomed all the more when words regarding his ill advertised birthday were uttered.

His expression of joy turned to mild surprise, nigh turning momentarily deaf as he processed; the gift handed to him gazed towards - dumbfounded - for a further few heartbeats. A deep breath and he smiled, far wider than previously - heart thumping loudly enough to ring in his ears;

“You--” remembered. Though the latter words did not make it through his lips, “--I’m honoured, thank you-” The box, though yet unopened, was clutched close to his chest; regardless of what was within, it already meant the world to the poet. For someone to have remembered his birthday- - it was near surprising.

Softly did a hand outreach, brushing against Aymeric’s arm to usher him into the study alongside, promising that he would certainly not keep him from more important matters for long. Regardless, Cyvel’s long fingers reached to undo the ribbon and receive what was within - the sheer thought behind each and every item so beautifully presented within evidently seen.

Cyvel would have been lying if he’d said he hadn’t teared up a smite - lifting his teary gaze with utter thanks written across his expression. He had to forcefully swallow the lump in his throat down ere stepping towards his companion and pulling him in to a rather light and yet perfectly thankful embrace; taking the expanse of a few heartbeats to truly smile brightly;

“Thank you-” Did he whisper, quite how much it had meant clearly audible within his voice. He’s smiling when he pulls back; not a small smile, not a dainty hint of joy - but true and intently there. “It... it truly means so very much-”

‘Twas not until later on, however, when Cyvel found time in the evening to sit down and truly adore each and every gift within that box that he took a moment to open the beauty that was the notebook - utterly besotted with all.

He paused, fingertips running over dried ink as he read words written within repeatedly; the thrum of his heartbeat near the only thing he was able to hear. Sank into his chair, Cyvel reached for his own quill and dipped it within ink to write beneath; I think of you always; your kind heart and your loving soul. I pray every poem I write in here visits you within your restful dreams, that you many know the will of my heart upon the first moments you wake of a beautiful morning.

❌THE TORTURED WOMEN❌

CONCEPT ARTWORK - In our country, literally everyday in newsppaers, we see so many cases saying about harassment and qruelty done to women. I feel shame to stay in a state where people in one side making females feel insecure to step outside form home and on the other side calling our nation as the mother nation. You monsters, remember one thing mother is also a form of female and they only did this mistake of giving birth to kids like you. Pls stop all these and while harassing a girl, remember atleast for once that your mother is also a girl and may you have a sister like that girl. They are a wonderful creation of god, please respect them. Without them our existence can come to an end.. .❤

Do like, comment, reblog and share...

Must follow for more....

The Post (2017)

A cover-up that spanned four U.S. Presidents pushed the country's first female newspaper publisher and a hard-driving editor to join an unprecedented battle between the press and the government.

A really good old fashioned drama about investigative journalism. This movie is a classic example of why Steven Spielberg is who he is, he can make the sound of a phone ring look tense.

I really enjoyed it and it made me want to become an investigative journalist! Do check it out. Top notch filmmaking and acting.
