meme!

I'm jotting notes for my apocolypse_kree fic (WHAT WAS I THINKING) and getting preeeeetty intimidated, let me tell you. Teal'c, on the other hand, is calm, cool and collected. He-- huh. Hang on a sec. *scribbles madly in a pad containing all kinds of equations and chemical structures on preceeding pages.*

There is a meme going around. It calls for the first sentences of your last 20 stories (do I have that many?) You are then free to analyze at will.

Post the first lines from your last 20 stories. Do you see any patterns? )

Actually, I'd be amused to see whether you can guess which story is which.

I think I wish my prose was a little more obviously differentiated speech patterns for the various POV characters. I think it's almost there, but not quite. Overall, I'm so proud of having written all these stories. I didn't even have to go back into my earlier, moderately cringe-worthy stuff (I was learning! LEARNING, I SAY.) Gods, some of these surprised me so much. When I was a child, I was driven to tell stories, was encouraged to write stories by my teachers and family. I don't know when creative writing became such a low priority for me, but I feel really happy to have come back to it.
