Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
Beginning:
Elizabeth Fitch's short-lived teenage rebellion began with L'Oreal Pure Black, a pair of scissors and a fake ID. It ended in blood.Friday 56:
"Warehouse 12. I..." She had to tell the truth. No more lies. "I made fake IDs for us."
His face barely registered surprise as he wrote in his little book. "How old are you?"
"Sixteen. I'll be seventeen in September."
That's a powerful beginning.

Her 200th book? Does she have staff writing for her? Or does she use the Great Automatic Grammatizator?
ReplyDeleteIt is a good beginning, though. Thanks for posting it on Book Beginnings!
