I know it's hot outside...all the more reason to think about snow! It's that time of year when the Roses plan their Christmas stories. We'll be posting them starting right after Thanksgiving weekend and wrapping up at Christmas, and we need your help. We have 13 first lines written anonymously by our authors, and we need to narrow the field to the most popular choices. Every story will begin with the same first line. If you could please leave a comment with your top two choices, you can help determine the fate of our stories this year!
Here they are in no particular order:
1.
“I can’t believe you
did that.”
2.
The unexpected
snowstorm changed everything.
3.
Oh no, not today.
4.
She peered through
the snow-spattered windshield at the neon sign and hoped like hell there was
room at the inn.
5.
I’ll take the shoes.
6.
She was skipping
Christmas this year.
7.
How did that get in
here?
8.
How could this day
get any worse?
9.
She tugged the
beard, horrified when the bright blue eyes watered and the cherry red lips
yelped.
10.
“No presents this
Christmas…”
11.
Playing Santa for
one night would save her.
12.
Even Rudolph would
have been grounded by the storm's intensity.
13.
And there it
was--the perfect gift.
I like # 4 the best.
ReplyDeleteThanks for voting Casi! Now that we've got the ball rolling, I'll put in my picks. I like #2 and #13. Completely different, but both have a lot of potential to go in multiple directions.
ReplyDeleteI like #9 and #13 the best, but the choice was hard to make. They were all good with lots of possibilities.
ReplyDeleteMine are #3 and #5. Actually, they all have potential, but those are my favorites.
ReplyDelete#13 and #8. Looking forward to what you all do this year. (Jena Galifany)
ReplyDeleteI like #4 and #6.
ReplyDelete#4 and #11
ReplyDeleteCan I choose four favorites??? :) I like them all, but I lean toward those that come right out of the box as seasonal related. And, I like ones that open up lots of possibilities. So, if I can only pick two, I'll say #4 and #11. But my other choices would have been 2, 6, 12, 13. (I know, nobody cares, LOL) Great job, Roses!
ReplyDeleteI like 2 and 6

ReplyDeleteI'm putting in my mom's vote since she reads the blog every day but isn't signed in to Google. She likes 9, 3 and 13. None of those are mine. Hmmm... LOL
ReplyDelete#6 and #13 intrigue me.
ReplyDeleteI like 2 and 3. Jumps right in, but leaves plenty of room to maneuver.
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough choice, but my top two are 4 and 13.
ReplyDelete#2 and #6 because both stimulated an instant story idea in my mind's eye.
ReplyDeleteI vote for 3, 5, or 6. Loved reading all of them. It was so hard to choose! I couldn't even narrow it down to two like the rest of y'all did.
