My last apartment in Jersey City found me living on the 2nd floor of a 3-story building. The first floor and third floor were family — mom and daughter (and cousin and random others) on the first floor, and the adult son on the third. But somehow, they've find a way to come together to hold an impromptu BBQ on the front patio, with friends and family from miles around joining the fun. Our upstairs neighbor would make her 2-3 year old run laps in the bedroom so he could get tired to go to sleep. Oh man--our last apartment, our upstairs neighbor had the loudest, craziest yawn you've ever heard--it was like hearing the Sasquatch yawn (several times a day. They also tended to sound like they were rearranging furniture every morning in the living room around 6:30. Oh, and it was delightful that if I was in the bathroom, I could literally hear them sitting on their toilet… eek. We moved last year and now we are the upstairs neighbors, with wood floors…and our downstairs neighbors complained about us to management. They said it sounded like we were stomping around at all hours of the day and night…even though we never wear shoes in the apartment. -My upstairs neighbours once were moving furniture from 1 am to 6 am. -My neighbour across the hall usually leaves the door of her apartment.
I started with ten tips on how to write a better query letter, and this month I’m focusing on how to craft a first page that works—meaning it entices the agent to read more. That’s all a first page has to do. Sounds much simpler than it is. gasp. —a character waking up. One of the things we are told to “never” do. But my character did and still does. The “rules” about not starting with a character waking up or with the weather shouldn’t be taken so literally. What the rule is trying to imply is this: don’t start with the mundane. Don’t have a character wake up, get out of bed, see that it’s raining, take a shower, dry off, eat breakfast, etc. We don’t need to see that happen to accept that it does happen. Get to what’s core to your story and if happens to happen in the shower or when the alarm clock goes off, that’s okay. Yes and no. Because when we all see a great first line, we know it. When we see a mediocre one, we know that too. There are many ways to craft a first line, but the ultimate goal is to leave the reader with no choice but to read on. However…. In both instances, we have the quintessential problem with starting with dialogue: which is that we don’t yet know the characters who are speaking and as such it is hard to care about what they have to say.
One film that received this dubious treatment was 1928's Lonesome , which was released by Universal both as a silent and a part-talkie, with the latter version being the one put out by Criterion in 2012. A simple boy-meets-girl story enhanced by...
