Fun writers' meme: Post the first line from five works in progress.

I don't know why, but Grandma has given me a journal. --Lunar Reflections

Noelle did not know the man who lived in the castle above the town. --untitled Beauty and the Beast retelling

Once upon the time there was a man who wanted to rule the world. --"The Damsel and the Dictator"

The dragon sat on a lonely hilltop, watching the sunrise through her tears. --untitled story about a dragon

It was cold and it was wet, and I was running, running as fast as my legs and the adverse terrain would allow. --Shift

3/5 already have me hooked, and that's a pretty rare thing for a book to hook anyone in one line.
definitely interested in the beauty and the beast retelling when you've got more =)

Aw, thanks. :) I hate that I don't have any of these finished...I keep picking away at them as the years pass on, but never quite getting anywhere. It seems like every time I return to a story I discarded years before, there's too much I don't like about it and I have to start over with a completely new concept.

That said, the Beauty and the Beast one is easily my favorite of the in-progress works. It's my favorite fairytale...I *had* to write it at some point or another. If it gets up and runs anywhere, I'll let you know. I'm thinking of writing it next November for National Novel Writing Month, though that's technically not allowed because I've already started writing the text of the story...definitely something to think about.
