Welcome to the place where I rant, rave and discuss books, writing, the town of Cobourg Ontario and anything else that strikes my fancy.

Writing Prompt-and-Share #40


Prompt-and-Share Happy Hump Day! Midweek my lovely writers, the weekend is in sight! First Sentence theme continuing on the Prompt-and-Share. We all know how important the first sentence is to any story, it grabs the reader and pulls them in. We've been taking the first sentence of famous novels and writing our own little stories with them. Today we are gonna steal from Jack Kerouac's On the Road.
In 400 words or less, write a short story/flash fiction starting with this as your opening line: I first met Dean not long after my wife and I split up..
Take it away folks!
(Sorry to those who have been doing serials if this doesn't fit your story-line :( )
