So... I need to rewrite my opening and I can't find the first line. And it's driving me crazy. I've stared and stared and stared at the page. I've sat and thought and thought and thought without staring at the page. I've literally thought about the new opening for hours. So then I thought maybe I was becoming obsessed (ya think?) and I just needed to stick something in there and move on.
Couldn't.
Brain wouldn't function on the rest of the rewrite without knowing how the story opened. It kept veering back to that opening scene, trying to pick apart the words and figure out what the first line should be.
GAH!
Help? Anyone? Tips, tricks, anything? Well, anything other than, "My opening lines just come to me and they're always perfect the first time out." That? Not helpful right now. ;)
