Ascriber / Writers Eyes Workshop - 17
Opening Lines
Skip the Workshop take me straight to the submissions
This month's workshop has got to have the opening line 'The Man (or woman) stood at the side of the road'.
Think about it:
What is he/she doing?
What is he/she wearing?
Is that person:
holding anything?
Talking to anyone?
Old?
Young?
Where is the road?
This Country?
Abroad?
Rural area or town?
Are there any buildings near by?
If so what are they?
Skyscrapers?
Thatched cottages?
If not, what is near by!
What is the weather doing?
Now let your imagination run wild. What else can you see, that you might be able to use later in your work. Police cars? Dancing bands? Cattle stampeding? It really is up to you!
