bonnefoisRules: list the first lines of your last 10 published stories. See if there are any patterns yourself, or have other people say what they notice.
1) A guard stood by the door of the healer's office.
2) A single gray form stood before her in the throne room.
3)
The tall castle of Ylissetol still stood in the distance.
4) Noire's hands wrapped around her Talisman with a desperate grace.
5) Laurent found himself often reordering the mess the storage convoy was left.
6)
Delthea was happy to join this new world, amid such varied locales, and so many other people to speak with.
7)
Under the verdant blooms of the garden, and the swaying leaves, he spun around and around.
8)
The tavern was especially lively tonight.
9) The budget was balanced, the storage was ordered--at least until someone else pawed through it carelessly and ruined all his careful work.
10) Scout scrolled through the listings on his cheap-ass phone he got at Walmart.
My thoughts:
Lots of Laurent and Laurent/Noire, and a lot of fairly short and direct sentences to start it out. In general my style tends to fit whatever POV character I'm going for. Ergo, a character who talks fast and is slang-y may have a more wordy beginning, but Laurent is more methodical and intelligent. Plus, there's a Luthier POV up there too.
