Most of my first statements are either simple statements establishing what the or one of the main characters is doing, or what they're thinking. Only one of them starts with a quote. I think I now prefer to start with an isolated, short statement most of the time.
In case you hadn't noticed, a lot of my fics are from The Quarry, and more specifically Travis Hackett / Laura Kearney, also called Hackearney. I don't write for them much anymore, and may never again. The stories on permanent hiatus, I lost steam and inspiration for them, and will most likely never finish them.
I don't have too many writer friends in my current fandom, and I don't talk to many in my previous one, anymore. I apologize if I tag anyone who has done this before 😥
We'll go with @rhibbet , @ayrabelle , @sgt-littledick , @cellard0ors , and @laterose13
