@gracie-j
LOL yeah! I only read your first book but it was a jolly good read and I hope to read more in the future đ
*sighs * “three’s a crowd and four’s a mob” as I say. I mean, that’s in reference to children interacting and playing, but it applies to most people and friendships in my experience. Have you ever tried to have a conversation with three other people? the SAME conversation? it’s about as jumbled as the ‘three first lines without context’ XD and as funny (afterward)

July 28, 2021 at 4:08 pm #102711@kathleenramm Those lines sound amazing XD
@nova21 Bahaha sure thing! Only, you maay have to jump into the future at least 90 years XD
@devastate-lasting Haha thanks! I’m sure she’d love to be yours as well!"It's easy to be caught up in stardust and whispers when reality is so dark and loud."

Okie, I decided to do Paul’s first three lines as well. He’s not a POV character, but I thought it would be fun to see if his lines fit with his personality, and why not share with y’all? Thanks so much @nova21 for this awesome idea !!
“Temira.”
“To speak with you.”
“I know.”
Goodness, he is a man of few words. XD I actually love these first lines, and I think they show his personality really well. He’s soft-spoken, understanding, and empathetic – and I think these lines show that from his first appearance.
July 29, 2021 at 2:15 am #102723This looks so much fun! Thanks for tagging me đ Here’s the first three things the protagonist of my previous WIP, Ilio, says. He’s a sweet, shy, academic boy who also happens to be a werewolf.
1). âWhy am I naked?â Hmmm…I promise this makes sense in context.
2). âWhat has happened to me?â
3). âNo.”
Interesting…

July 29, 2021 at 8:08 pm #102814I admit that I laughed out loud reading those and I imagine the first one has to do with the results of said werewolf abilities?

July 29, 2021 at 11:04 pm #102822@elfwing I’m glad I made you laugh. And yes, you would be correct đ

July 31, 2021 at 1:06 pm #102857Wait so we can share our other POV characterâs first lines? Iâm in!
This is Novemberâs
âAra?â
âYou okay?â (Omit) âWhy are you barefoot?â
âSounds like fun!â
and Jocelynâs
âHello one and all!â
âReady boy?â (Omit) âWell then, letâs give them a show they wonât forget!
âSorry!â

#ProtectSebJuly 31, 2021 at 5:27 pm #102860Ooo!! This is a cool idea! Let me see…
Ok, I got mine! But I skipped her internal dialogue, and chose the lines she says out loud. Also, she lives in 1870 London. In TID, Emilia is shy but resilient. independent (only because she has no choice) curious, sensitive, and kind. And a little defensive at times. She is great at problem-solving too!
âWe must catch Sly Jack before the they (police) do!â
âNothing sir, I just thought I’d best return before too late.â
âMorninâ Charlie, Iâm figuring on go to the CafĂ© to spend my sixpence on a meal there, or I might go to the Inn by the livery stable.â
Lmk why you think.

Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
August 1, 2021 at 6:35 pm #102904My character Hunter Starcatcher (my MC Torrent’s father). He mostly appears in memories in the first part of the story. This is when seven-year-old Torrent (she’s sixteen in the story now) wants to ride his swiftbike, which is kind of like the combination of a Tron Lightcycle and a Star Wars speeder bike.
âWhen youâre a bit taller. Right now you wouldnât be able to reach the brake pedal.â
âI suppose. But youâll still have to wait. Swiftbikes are not made for kids. Theyâre fast and unpredictable.â
âCrosshairs and cutlery, [his favorite expression, don’t ask why] she just wonât give up, will she?â
