first paragraph

October 13, 2009

I realized that I haven’t had a post relating to writing in…well…a while, which totally defeats the purpose of this blog. lol

So, without further ado!

Nathan Bransford, a literary agent, is having a contest on his blog where you post the first paragraph of any work in progress. I thought, what the heck, might as well stick something in there! So, I entered the first paragraph of one of my Young Adult WIPs.

Voila! From the currently titled, Fuzz.

********************************************************************************************

I had a hairy upper lip. My freaking lip was brown and hairy. Well, that’s sexy. I moved in a little closer to the mirror to fully assess the fuzz. I pulled my lips together between my teeth and cringed as the light hit the hairs. No wonder I was single. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks as I realized what every boy heard when they met me. “Hi, my name is Claire and my hairy lip greets you.” Oh, God.
