Caution: Bragging Mom

Today Jenny got the bright idea to write a story. Her opening line grabbed me by the collar and pulled me in.

Quote of the Day:
"Long ago, when dragons still roamed the earth, there lived a young dragon named Jennifire who couldn’t seem to do anything right."

  3. Hmm...I'm thinking there might be a hidden message in this opening sentence...

  4. Heh, "grabbed me by the collar and pulled me in" was the concept known in Christian Writing class at SMBI as, due to a garbled pronouncement (or a deliberate perversion on our part, I don't remember) by our dear Clifford, "Grabbing your reader's eyeballs".
