This week's notable first line:
"Will Scarlet hated trees."
Carrie Lofty, 'Redeeming Will Scarlet'
This first line has a number of things going for it: brief, unequivocal, and deceptively unremarkable until one makes the connection between the the subject and the place he spent much of his time (Sherwood Forest).
Altogether, a brilliant first line.
where a budding comedy writer marks milestones on the road to dropping the 'apprentice' portion of her name
