"The silent beat of marching feet" when my main character was trapped with a smart alec mouse in a prison cell (it makes sense in context).

There are a couple more but that is the one that has sprung to mind.

"The language is Basque, something he must've picked up from a cell mate. The word he keeps saying, over and over again, that's Erruki. It means mercy. Sam is begging for mercy."

At first I didn't like this but it's grown on me:

"And eyes of gray and green like soft moss on northern curtain walls."

Mine just changed with this:

Dean felt his body being baptized in the righteous fire of sheer, unadulterated irascibility.

"If I'm not concerned with my physical well-being, I fail to see why you should."

Followed closely by: "I require thanks nor pity. An explanation should suffice."

"I drop the stack of paper onto Raven, who is spread out on the couch like jam on toast."

It doesn't make sense, and it's not profound. But somehow it always cracks me up...

I love the second part. "Spread out on the couch like jam on toast."

Lady_Indis_Dress

I love that part too.

After being unconscious for quite a while:

Lyan was awake. He could tell. XD


I have more, but that's the one I could remember.

Wow! I really like all of your lines! Very cool :D

This is one of my favorites. This kind of describes the whole of my story.

No. Her crime was far from common.

But she knew that despite the crafty aura surrounding her, the determination to stop at nothing to reach her goal, she hadn't been lying. She would see Seth eventually. Evette was a conniving, psychotic witch, but she wasn't a liar.

“….it was a marvelous, splendiferous creation of harmonic sound that stirred at the very depths of my soul, sir.”

It's not much, but I still love that sarcastic quote.

The End.

Seriously, this year turned into a major tooth-puller...

I'm sorry to hear that, Brightdreamer. I hope next year goes better for you.

What can I say?

Sometimes I can wing 'em, sometimes I can't...

I needed a stronger foundation for the story to stand on; without it, it started sinking into the murk. Something to work on for Draft 2... but not for a while. (I like to give my NaNo novels at least until January to "season" before I turn back to them. And it's not like I have a shortage of other stories that need writing/editing...)

"Do you think it's better to die a hero, or to live, knowing that you never accomplished what you wanted to do most?"
Andrew gives me a strange look, clearly confused as to why I'd ask him something like this, especially since we're fighting in this war.



I dunno, I like it. It seems like something that'll make you look at your life and ask, "Am I really happy?"

I like that. It sounds like something a friend of mine would say. It's a good thinker.

"It was just another day, another crime for Steven Jackson.
... That's an extremely sucky intro, and has absolutely nothing to do with the point of the story. Do something, anything about it. I want you to make a real intro for this story so people actually want to read it. Okay, now onto the scheduled program..."

Mine is from the Introduction I wrote midway through, and at the time was having trouble continuing.

"Writing this book is like trying to wake up a drunk who keeps falling asleep."

I don't know if it's my absolute favorite, but I did manage to write one line that basically elucidated the whole idea of the book:

Quote:“This is the beauty of Time,” Rysa said, “that such terrible things can happen, the end of all things, and still nothing changes. Everything and nothing are all one and the same, equal in the sight of time. And in a world where nothing changes from minute to minute or age to age, stories are what make each second unique.”

It's hard to just pick one...but I like this one:

"A single, squawking raven flew past her window, screaming doom at the top of its tiny little lungs. "

After a few more minutes of cheerful talk and congratulations, it was at last time for Lord Ashworth to take his leave. He threw on his overcoat and put on his hat and, looking once more the perfect image of a dashing Tommy, waved farewell.

I just liked getting to use the word "tommy" in this context.

I can't decide a favorite, but this is the last line I wrote, and I like it :)

"An all too familiar sight was rising to the darkening sky and the raging battle inside Costeen was replaced with a sinking feeling of nausea."
