So this month, we are going to explore other First Lines/First Pages in children's literature. (As I'd love to know with many a book! But I'll have to settle for what's on the printed page.) I'm curious as to what was JK Rowling's original beginning to the series. But just because a book is a bestseller doesn't mean that it was written well. Of course we know that HP and the Sorcerer's Stonemust have a great beginning because it is, after all, 'the extraordinary national bestseller'. Now, I bet you may be rolling your eyes right now. I also like the name of their street, Privet Drive. This mystery pulls the reader in right away because we want to know exactly WHO is 'the boy who lived' and WHY the Dursleys are trying so hard to be 'normal'.

My first thoughts: Rowling starts off the series with a lot of mystery-the Dursleys are trying so hard to be 'normal', and yet they are hiding a big secret. Why specifically these two? Because these two series were instrumental in changing the face of children's books and the children's book market. The first? Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, of course. I thought it would be fun to dissect and discover the First Lines/First Pages of some of the best YA/middle grade novels. One of the first posts was inevitably "First Lines" in which we would share the first lines of the novel we were working on. (More to come on Inktober later.)īack to NaNo, in the years I've participated in the past, I was part of a large group of women writers who would send messages of encouragement during the month. Sometime during the month of October and #Inktober, I got inspired to do a First Pages/First Lines marathon this month. In fact I'm eating (finally!) some soup as I type this. I hope.ĭay One: I've had to call in sick for my half day at work because of a migraine that is finally abating. While I'm not participating this year because my goal is to finish a zero draft of my YA novel that is about 75% done, I am using the month to focus back on writing. If you're a writer, you know that it's also the first day of National Novel Writing Month.
