Daily writing prompt
You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?
This is the second time they’ve given us a daily prompt about our autobiography. This is so lame. So exceptionally lame.
Try these on for size…
- He was grotesquely obese, mentally and physically. Then he went under the knife and had his guts butchered and rearranged. Then he was only grotesquely obese mentally.
- He had no real brains to speak of, no talents, nothing special at all and yet somehow he lived a long time without accidentally blowing himself to smithereens.
- He was a Rush fan, but was Rush a fan of him? Probably not.
- First he was a red head. Then he was a husband and a step father. Then he was old.
- Soft as a sneaker full of shit.
- Cursed from day one with red hair.
- A roll model for how to be a bad person without being a nazi.
- At least he wasn’t a fascist like so many other Americans.
- How to always say exactly the wrong thing: A red head’s story.
- Inside the red head’s head there was nothing but mud.
- If ever there was a life that wasted too much time and energy on Star Wars, this was it.
- Mad Eye Moody said it best in Harry Potter #4: “his head may be filled with sawdust.”
Those are all possibilities, but there is one that would sum them all up perfectly. One that would be the first line of my autobiography, the last line of my autobiography, every line of my autobiography……….
Meh.
Me
Inside the Red Head's Head
