Here we are again. Let's start with Sue's famous intro:

Random Line Generator is a monthly exercise we started in January. On the first of each month someone comes up with an opening line and we use it as a starter.

Anyone can join in. It can be a short story, a poem, a play or even non-fiction. There is no word limit and the only rule is that it has to start with the opening line. Just precede your title with RLG9 (for this one) or 1 – 8 (if you fancy trying any of the others) and then upload it in the archive.

Here’s the line for September:

Nobody was shocked to discover that Annabelle’s parents were murderers.

And remember to announce your contribution on this thread so no work goes unread.

Have Fun!

Nice line, Louise!

Glad you came back in time!!

Welcome back.

I'm sure you'll come up with something tc, it's not completely anti-poet.

I'll be amazed if anyone manages to do a non-fiction piece with this line though...

Louise

Okay, Here it is! Just thought I'd do this to set the standard.

Anyone prepared to accept the challenge?

You can find it at Annabelle Original title, huh?

Hope you like it! (but I doubt it!)

jumbo

Its a poem! Well, almost.....
Bugger. I HAVE to do it now, can't let that Jumblie beat me.
Consider ze challenge accepted.
Consider your face slapped with a leather glove.
Consider meeting at dawn, muskets loaded...
........on second thoughts,
Consider then abandon that last one Jumbs, sounds a bit early for me......

Hi all, posted mine last night - I kind of combined an exercise from poetry seminar with the RLG. Its called Anabelle Annabelle, and I don't know how to do those clever link things...

Hi all

First attempt at an RLG (RLG9) uploaded today.

Andrew

I have loaded my offering here Coffee?
Sorry, I forgot to include RLG9 in the title.

Bill

Hi!

I've rather been finding my feet as a newcomer, so bear with me. I'm definitely joining in, so will post shortly.

This looks like fun.
