Oh my Literate Ones!

The purpose of our contest The Victor Villasenor First Sentence Contest is to inspire you  to create words that will draw your reader in. Intrigue with just a few words before some punctuation mark brings it all to a halt and you have to start again with another sentence. The first sentence is the arrow leaving the bow, starting the story arc.  Be not dismayed that Michael Stang’s first words are words you have often heard before.  Let’s just see what he’s driving at.

Okay then, let’s get going.

Thornton Sully

Thorn founded A Word with You Press in 2009, having Jack-Londoned his way across the globe sleeping with whatever country would have him, picking up stray stories along with way. A litter of dog-eared passports that have taken up residence in his sock drawer are a constant temptation, but, having at last discovered paradise, it’s not likely he will stray too far from his adopted city of Prague. He has helped hundreds of writers reach their potential, including best-selling authors and award winners. He is the author of Fire in the Belly: How to write your novel with Purpose and Passion, Almost Avalon, The Boy with a Torn Hat and The Courtesans of God saga, and multiple anthologies.
