Would you look at that? Another blog post! This time I take a look at first lines and the age-old adage of starting in the middle. Please take a look and feel free to let me know what you think!

#rose and rambles #prosie's writing adventures #writing #writing advice #first lines #hooks #special shout out to Lemon who's willing to do hw with me youre the mvp ;w; <333 #FOR REAL this could have been longer but im trying not to go *too* far over 1000 words #but there's a lot to be learned from first lines #and even as i was writing this i kept thinking about how book cover blurbs are really what get me to give a book a chance and first lines #more so introduce me to the writing style #there's so much to think about but anyway i hope this sparks some inspiration! #I feel like the only advice i get about beginnings is 'Don't have you character waking up' and then 'Start in the middle of the action' #And since actually paying attention to beginnings #I've found that advice very narrow and not really conducive to creative experimentation #ANYWAY THANK YOU FOR READING IF YOU DO #PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SPREAD THIS TOO #And I would really love to hear your thoughts
