The Jeopardy tick-tock music is playing in my head as Word awaits the first line of my novel ... which I will post right after midnight. What's your first line? After midnight, of course.

I'm old-fashioned in my writing. Long sentences spiced up with words that otherwise get left unloved on the shelf. ----------

(I'm going with generic descriptions of name until I can sit down and properly name my characters. Naming doesn't quite come naturally to me.)
