I was poking around at some writing exercises, and it struck me...
How about proposing a first line? That's right, suggest a first line! I'd avoid "Call me Ishmael" but otherwise, sure, whatever you would like to suggest.
The fun, of course, would be if others here on the list took that first line and expanded it into a scene or something. You know, start with the line that someone suggests, and feel free to spend a couple hundred or more words helping us enjoy where it leads.
So, go ahead. Suggest a first line, and see what we make of it!
