This looks so much fun! Thanks for tagging me 🙂 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). “Why am I naked?” Hmmm…I promise this makes sense in context.
2). “What has happened to me?”
3). “No.”
Interesting…

Oooo this is SUCH a fun idea!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! And I LOVE Dylan’s dialogue. The first one was just kinda funny without the story’s context. XD It was awesome!!!!!
So my MC is a sixteen-year-old girl named Layla. I just started this new story, so I don’t know a lot about her yet, but from what I can tell she’s stubborn, competitive, and…[Read more]

@nova21 I like this idea.
My MC ain’t the most exiting character, but here are her first out of context lines.
“Isn’t there a meet today?”
*action of eye rolling* “you’re a terrible liar.”
“No, please. You know I don’t like those.”
Lol it sounds so strange out of context considering her character in the book.
Omgoodness…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic What are the 1st three things your MC says? in the forum Characters 4 years, 7 months ago
So fun! These are from the messy first draft of the story I’m writing with my siblings
“Geez, Ted, I thought you were a superhero.”
“We climb onto the roof and break into the skylight. You unplug the freezers and smash all the ice cream cones, and I’ll find the secret recipes and vault. Got it?”
“Did you bring the grappling hook and ha…

@nova21 AHHH I LOVE THIS!!
Okay, since my book actually starts off with a prologue from the antagonist’s POV, I’m gonna put her first three lines and my MC’s (That takes place in Chapter 1 at a totally different place and time)
Corvina-
“Master? (Omit) Master?”
“Yes Master.”
“Ah!”
(Yea….lol. There’s a lot more inner dialogue then actual…[Read more]

Lin replied to the topic What are the 1st three things your MC says? in the forum Characters 4 years, 7 months ago
@nova21 XD Plenty of adventures to choose from!
I love your lines as well! Dylan sounds like he’d be quite hard to work with.
@writerlexi1216 Felicity sounds like what you described her as. Nice job!
@daisy-torres I’d want to be Catherine’s friend!
@lewilliams I want to meet Horace, like, right now. He sounds so proper.

haha, thanks! I guess she’s based on yours truly *bows, then hesitates, evaluates character, and wonders if I actually paid myself a compliment or not… *
First of all… I LOVE the name Keaton! second, his dialogue seems to fit. I suppose just keep his lines short, don’t have him using too many please n’ thank you’s and keep…[Read more]

You’re welcome! 🙂 the story sounds so intriguing, and I’m sure it’ll be epic, whatever you decide!

Elfwing replied to the topic What are the 1st three things your MC says? in the forum Characters 4 years, 7 months ago
haha!! Great idea!! And I’d say your MCs dialogue fits.
My sci fi book MC is shy in big groups but stubborn and has her opinions and likes to bug her brother
her first three lines in the story:
(Omits action) Alden, stop it! I hit in here five minutes ago!”
(Omits action) “Good morning. I didn’t burn the house down so that’s encouragi…

Elizabeth replied to the topic What are the 1st three things your MC says? in the forum Characters 4 years, 7 months ago
@nova21 Ooh I love this! (And your lines of dialogue!)
Here’s mine for Horace, one of my MCs who is a magic-lawyer on good days and a control freak on bad ones. 😛
1) “Enjoying the view?”
2) “I’m sure.” [action tag] “Something on your mind?”
3) “My apologies then,” [action tag] “You just seem rather—“
Yeah. Dealing with his moody teenaged comp…[Read more]

@nova21 Oo cool idea!! Yours are funny XD
My character is kinda bubbly and sarcastic/teasing, so Ladies, here’s Catherine XD:
“It’s the perfect gift for your girlfriend, don’t ya think?”
“How many children will I be the aunt of? Six? Seven?”
“Oh! What if you have all girls! Your home will be amazing. Make sure you invite me over a lot.”

Lin replied to the topic What are the 1st three things your MC says? in the forum Characters 4 years, 7 months ago
@nova21 Oo, fun! Hard time to find which MC though, haha…
This is for Nan Jinqi, who’s, um, what is he like… He’s quiet and dependable, I think. Quite observant. Hard-working. I don’t know that much about him yet.
1) “Run!”
2) “It was your stupid machine that crashed and burned, [action tag omitted], And who said I was here to stop you?”
