It will soon be the start of a brand new year and so, we would like to kick-start your creativity even if your brain is a little foggy from all the festive celebrations. So, to start you off, how about creating an opening sentence for a story? That’s all we need in this quick and easy creative writing competition, just that first sentence. The moment you type the full stop, you are done. So, it’s important to make every word count. You must be inventive, creative and dramatic. That sentence has to be strong and dynamic. You can choose the type of genre that would most fit your first line too. Want to have a go? Just make your payment through PayPal and email us with your submission.
