Ok, so first pick a book off your bookshelf. Turn to page 123 and look at the first full sentence on that page. I want you to make a story that includes and is related to that sentence. In the authors notes please put the author, tittle and the scentence in that book. Please be honest as I might have read the book so I will know if you're lying.

- When are you going to judge? Not to be rude but it's been 20 days.
- Hey, when are you gonna judge???
- I love this idea, and the book I picked out has a fantastic first sentence. It leaves a whole lot that can be worked with.
Mine is from the book, Blood Born, by Linda Howard. The sentence is: "Are you one of them?"
Haha. Can't wait to start.
- I like this idea and the book I picked had a perfect first sentence!
- Mine's going to be a little over 2000 words, is that okay? It won't be much more.
- Cool idea.
- Umm So Mine Is "As Cinna turns the doorknob, I stop his hand." Does that mean I have to do something Hunger Games related or can I do something like totally different from Hunger Games?
- 1st. I will put this in the rules but I dont want fanfitions, i want a whole new story!
2nd. That is not the quote, i have all three books and thats not the right quote on the page so please look again. - Yes it is. You do realize that there are different versions of the book right?
- Oh yeah, what version do you have?
- the one with the burning mockingjay pin
it has this cover:
http://www.google.com/imgres?q=hunger+games+book&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1280&bih=709&tbm=isch&tbnid=kuLgFEdzAsM2RM:&imgrefurl=http://screenrant.com/hunger-games-movie-books-facts-kofi-160434/&imgurl=http://cdn.screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/The-Hunger-Games-5-Facts-Movie-Books.jpg&w=450&h=348&ei=mU49UJS4McWBiwKtoYCIDw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=446&sig=109835019472255987645&page=1&tbnh=153&tbnw=193&start=0&ndsp=17&ved=1t:429,r:11,s:0,i:137&tx=154&ty=63 - Mine reads' "The End". Does that qualify? Maybe I picked the wrong book. Wait, this is my second book I picked. The first one had 300pages and its all Geometry calculations. Won't work here. Oops, I only got two books. Guess I am stuck with this one. I would give it a go.
The End is here....nigh...gone. Or is it the new beginning. Gee, I am at a lost here. I would sleep on it for now. Cheers... Ending now. - Maybe you could find a different book or you could use the end in a convosation?
- Actually I am..... I am very tempted to use where I stopped and continue from there. But I find it hard to find that book again...psst...it was taken by some pixies...naughty fellows; steals my books when I am not looking. Nevermind, they won't steal this coming tale....it not written yet. Give me some papers and I would get to it......lol....now who taken my reding glasses....
- What if the first sentence on that page was the rest of a sentence from page 122? Do we use the sentence from the previous page or the first full sentence on page 123?
- yuppers!
- Sounds like fun.
