I love the dash in the first line. That really makes it pop. And takes the song out of it. It's perfect.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on the new agent. Hope he's as excited about your partnership as you are. I'm sure he is. How could he not be? It's you! He'll just have to start looking over his should more. LOL!Dineen A.

My question is, can it ever be distracting when it pulls the reader out of the story? Here's one I used at the beginning of <I>Journey to Mithlimar</I> book 2 of The Chronicles of Efrathah: "Jim sprawled on his back staring at the star-laden sky. As a kid in Southern California, he’d relished telescoping the heavens, especially on family campouts in the mountains."<BR/><BR/>BeckyRebecca LuElla Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823550402103559922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10583449.post-1131992499387762202005-11-14T10:21:00.000-08:002005-11-14T10:21:00.000-08:00nope not legging ya, that's my actual wip :)Now i ...nope not legging ya, that's my actual wip :)<BR/><BR/>Now i must finger my keyboard and workhorse my projects.<BR/><BR/>Have a great day!Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01319201996699675786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10583449.post-1131976232512233962005-11-14T05:50:00.000-08:002005-11-14T05:50:00.000-08:00Funny you should mention the book Story by Robert ...Funny you should mention the book Story by Robert McKee. I had just ordered that book and am looking forward to reading it. It was also highly recommended by Frank Peretti when I heard him speak recently. I think that's one thing I need to understand better - the structure of a story. I've been able thus far to know enough about stories to get the structure OK subconsciously, but it will be good to understand why certain aspects of a story work and why others don't. It'll give my writing a zing, I'm sure.C.J.
