OPENING LINES FOR GREAT STORIES<\/p>\r\nOPENING LINES FOR GREAT STORIES<\/p>\r\n
The first line of a story is very important; a good one can hook the reader and make them want to read on. A weak first line and they might pass your story by.<\/p>\r\n
Sometimes it’s easier to write the whole story, then go back and rewrite the first line knowing how it will fit in with the rest of the it.<\/p>\r\n
Other times it’s the first line that inspires the story. This is why you need to learn to write a first line that will fire your imagination and get your story off to a great start.<\/p>\r\n
If you\u2019re having trouble nailing your opening, you\u2019re in luck: writer and WD contributor Jacob M. Appel offers up to seven different approaches to writing a killer opening line. He includes examples from classic novels to accompany each, too.<\/p>\r\n
1. Use a statement of eternal principle (\u201cHappy families are all alike\u2026\u201d).<\/p>\r\n
2. Use a statement of simple fact (\u201cI am an invisible man\u201d).<\/p>\r\n
3. Use a statement of paired facts (\u201cIn the town there were two mutes, and they were always together\u201d).<\/p>\r\n
4. Use a statement of simple fact laced with significance (\u201cScarlett O\u2019Hara was not beautiful\u2026\u201d).<\/p>\r\n
5. Use a statement to introduce voice (\u201cLolita, light of my life, fire of my loins\u201d).<\/p>\r\n
6. Use a statement to establish mood (\u201cIt was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn\u2019t know what I was doing in New York\u201d).<\/p>\r\n
7. Use a statement that serves as a frame (\u201cOnce upon a time\u201d).<\/p>\r\n
LAS PRIMERAS L\u00cdNEAS DE UNA GRAN CUENTO:<\/p>\r\n
Las primeras l\u00edneas de un cuento son muy importantes; unas buenas l\u00edneas pueden enganchar al lector y hacer que quiera seguir leyendo. Unas d\u00e9biles podr\u00edan hacer que el lector pase por alto la historia.<\/p>\r\n
A veces es m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil escribir toda el cuento, despu\u00e9s volver atr\u00e1s y escribir la primera l\u00ednea al saber c\u00f3mo va a encajar con el resto del mismo.<\/p>\r\n
Otras veces es la primera l\u00ednea la que inspira el cuento. Es por esto que hay que aprender a escribir una primera l\u00ednea que despierte tu imaginaci\u00f3n y as\u00ed conseguir que tu cuento tenga un gran comienzo.<\/p>\r\n
Si tienes problemas para comenzar, est\u00e1s de suerte. El escritor y colaborador Jacob M. Appel ofrece hasta siete enfoques diferentes para escribir una l\u00ednea de apertura incluyendo ejemplos de novelas cl\u00e1sicas para acompa\u00f1ar a cada uno:<\/p>\r\n
1. El uso de una declaraci\u00f3n de principios eternos (\u00abLas familias felices son todas iguales…\u00bb).<\/p>\r\n
2. El uso de una declaraci\u00f3n de hechos simples (\u00abSoy un hombre invisible\u00bb).<\/p>\r\n
3. El uso de una declaraci\u00f3n de hechos vinculados (\u00abEn la ciudad hab\u00eda dos mudos, y siempre estaban juntos\u00bb).<\/p>\r\n
4. El uso de una declaraci\u00f3n de hechos simple que tenga importancia en la historia (\u00abScarlett O’Hara no era hermosa…\u00bb).<\/p>\r\n
5. El uso de una instrucci\u00f3n de voz (\u00bb Lolita , luz de mi vida , fuego de mis entra\u00f1as\u00bb).<\/p>\r\n
6. El uso de una declaraci\u00f3n para establecer el estado de \u00e1nimo (\u00abFue un raro y bochornoso verano, el verano que electrocutaron a los Rosenberg, y yo no sab\u00eda qu\u00e9 estaba haciendo en Nueva York\u00bb).<\/p>\r\n
7. El uso de una declaraci\u00f3n que sirva de marco (\u00ab\u00c9rase una vez\u00bb).<\/p>\r\n
