We haven't played this game for a while.


The Pick Up line/Opening Line/First line Game

Post the first line of the main story or stories that you are working on.

Then, those of us reading them can reply with:
Does it or doesn't it make you want to read more?

And for the fun of it:
Guess the genre?
Guess what happens next?

Very cool! Here are the first lines from two pieces I'm working on:

1) No matter what Suzie did, she couldn't convince herself this was a good idea.

2) A throbbing headache was nagging at his temples, and as he slowly traveled toward consciousness, he wondered whether or not he truly wanted to wake up.

Number 1

Want to read more: Sure
Genre: YA or maybe Romance
What happens next: Suzie goes through with it and it does turn out to be a terrible idea but the bad result drives the rest of the story.

Number 2

Want to read more: I'm on the fence with this one because waking up with a headache isn't quite gripping until you know why the character has one. So I'd read on to get more info and then decide.
Genre: No idea. Could be anything!
What happens next: Hungover, he manages to get up and fetch a cup of coffee.

Yea I agree with what you said about the second line... It kind of makes me want to know but how interesting is a headache?

The first line definitely made me want to read on.
