Yeah I know, what's this doing here but where else do I put it and anyway this is sort of home for me.
Here's what it is...
The Bulwer Lytton Fiction Contest is an actual yearly literary event in which contestants write the most atrocious opening sentence to a hypothetical dreadful novel.
Here's an example...
"It was larger than she thought it would be, and she stared in horror as the oblong fleshy object, foamy white substance escaping from one end, loomed towards her, and she squealed in mock terror,"no matter what you try to make me do, I will not put that THING in my mouth...even if Twinkies are an American tradition."
I thought it might be nice to try it here at our beloved LIT.
No contest though...
Just for fun and watch your grammer!
PS:
You can look up the current winners of the actual contest on the web. I dont have the addy but type Bulwer Lytton fiction Contest in your search engine and it will get you there.
Enjoy....
