The First Words

I read The Tale of Peter Rabbit when I was young. But I discovered the story of its author, Beatrix Potter through a lovely movie called Miss Potter. This image brought to mind her words about the first words of a story.

The First Words

“There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they’ll take you.”

  1. Sweet. I’ve been sweating all afternoon on the first sentence of my new book. It was hard work. But I throw it in the trash. Your picture and your sentence. Yes, that’s how I’d like it to be.

  2. This is an exciting thought. When I was writing in November, I remember getting titles of chapters and then using that to flesh out and shape that chapter. It did go lots of ways that I did not expect. Thanks for the share!
