Favorite Lines? http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/age-group-20s/threads/35057 chessapphire I saw we have a "first line" thread, but what's you FAVORITE line from your novel? The one that makes you laugh every time you read it, or just hooks your reader in, or sums up that one character just perfectly? Mine is the third type; I don't think there's any better way to get this guy's personality across: "Except usually, those moments were reserved for failed tests and bad break-ups, not ones where you were about to have your brains blown out and couldn’t even focus your drug-fogged mind enough to spit on the shoes of the motherfucker about to do it." Okay, go!

Which I do like, it makes me think of where i wanted the story to go, one of my favorite though happens in the first paragraph as well "The wolf then turn back to a man walked into her daughter’s room and came back with her 1 month year old daughter, walking back in the room with her child, the monster ripped of the child's head and threw it down on her husbands body." In fact my first page is my favorite in the whole book so far, not that i am not in love with my book i am, but the first page always grabs me.

"Are you talking about that handsome young man with the band? What was their name again? The Cupcake Bottoms...or something like that?" Holly choked back a laugh. "The what?" she asked, more than amused. Bea chipped in. "No, they weren't the Cupcake Bottoms, Ev. They were...oh, what were they? Some sort of baked good. The...no, I remember. The Ragamuffin Tops!" Holly snorted with laughter. "That's almost as bad as The Cupcake Bottoms." Bea snickered. "You're one to talk, Miss Tideez Cleaning Service. Man, maybe I shouldn't set you up with Parker. If you ever got married and had kids, you'd name them things like Dinky and Pewter Bean."

My main character gets up on a Sunday morning and is going to go out with his friends, but he wants to try to leave his home without waking up his parents: - I slowly opened the door to my room and silently cursed the slight squeak that I always forgot to fix. I kept meaning to buy WD-40 to deal with the squeak, but it always slipped my mind. I listened for any movement in the apartment, and then took a sniff of the air. There was no coffee smell, so neither of my parents was awake yet. On a weekend, it would take the scent of the finest premium roast to get either of my parents out of bed early. Lucky for me, I had finished getting ready before the auto-brew timer on our coffeemaker went off. After checking for sounds, I slowly padded my way to the front door. I was almost there when out of nowhere came my mother’s voice, “Jak?” And I was sooo close this time too. I hung my head in defeat and answered, “Yes ma’am?” I swear it would take Solid Snake to sneak past my mother. - I love referencing video games. There is another line that takes place while he's on his way to where his friends are waiting for him. - My destination was the Soda Pop Shoppe, a retro diner that served the best ice cream and root beer floats I’ve ever had. My friends and I have had a tradition of going to the Shoppe for an ice cream breakfast every Sunday since middle school (I like to start my Sunday with a Sundae… Sorry. That was bad, even for a pun).
