Mason Wheeler Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 I just ran across this: Quote The first line of almost any story can be improved by making sure the second line is, "And then the murders began." Examples given: Quote “I wonder what Piglet is doing," thought Pooh. And then the murders began. Quote In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And then the murders began. Quote Mr & Mrs Dursley, of number 4, Privet Drive, were proud to say they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. And then the murders began. And so on. Of course, I immediately thought of the Cosmere. Thing is, it's kind of difficult to make it work for a lot of Brandon's books, because they do start with murders. Quote Ash fell from the sky. And then the murders began. Quote It’s funny, Vasher thought, how many things begin with my getting thrown into prison. And then the murders began. Quote Szeth-son-son-Vallano, Truthless of Shinovar, wore white on the day he was to kill a king. And then the murders began. ...and so on. See what I mean?
