Taking inspiration from yet another amazing blogger, Miss Erin, I am posting three opening sentences. The catch: These are the hooks of my novels.
1. War Games. Not your typical summer camp.
2. No one ever accused Lex Holmes of being normal. Still, almost getting mashed by a flat-faced Metro Bus in front of the U.S. Courthouse wasn't the birthday present she'd ask for.
3. The wind buffets my helmet, the bike hums under me, and I am speed.
EDIT: I totally forgot the next one *my bad*.
4. Edward Taravella loathed hostages.
So...do they catch your attention?

I like the 2nd one best!
I like the second one best too.
The fourth one's my favorite.

Number 4, definitely!
The fourth one sounds great!
I definitely love #3, it's got action and it's in present tense: *me loves*
I also love the "loathes hostages" one.
I already want to read #2! Writing good first lines is something that I could work on, definitely.
Erin and Q: Good. This is an ongoing project.
Judi, Araken, Jamin, Sookie: Excellent! This is also an ongoing project, but it has a bit more steam behind it than the first ongoing project.
Gretchen: Yeah, first lines are tough. #1 is the first line of my recently completed book...and obviously, I need something a bit zippier to draw in agents :-p
Write interesting first lines. Got it. Keep practising hooks. Got it.
Good hooks, btw. I shall expect the agents to be very very tough on me. :)
