Thanks...Jeff, you're a master at great beginnings. Thanks for these examples.

For example in your office setting:<BR/><BR/>Scary: Lighting crashed outside the port hole sized office window, alternatly casting the faded panel walls from a dank purple hue to a flash-fried yellow. It was the kind of day that only appealed to psychos and people with something to hide.<BR/><BR/>Romantic: What her office needed (other than a hunky 6'2" body builder with dashing blue eyes and a strong chin) was a window with a view of the Seine. Or a cascading waterfall. She'd even settle for a couple of trees and a water fountain. Anything but the soot-coated brick wall, and the trash filled alley. How were you supposed to day dream about discovering the love of your life when you the most exciting thing you saw all day was Sam the sanitation man with the glass eye and pants that hung halfway down his considerable back side? <BR/><BR/>These descriptions pull you into the story instead of slowing you down and they set the pace.<BR/><BR/>I hate descriptions that repeat something the character knows so we can learn it.<BR/><BR/>"As you know, tomorrow is the day of the big parade." <BR/><BR/>Tad thought about the fact that it was only three days till Christmas.Jeff Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308834117176284991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31281717.post-1154110546635699592006-07-28T11:15:00.000-07:002006-07-28T11:15:00.000-07:00I hate books that do this to me--I feel tricked.

Thanks for the advice, this will help me a lot as I write historical too and sometimes forget that not everyone has done the same research I've done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
