“Against the suffocating dust under the gazebo, a thousand promises fade” is the first line in the YA fantasy novel Neliem by Clare Di Liscia.

What is your favorite opening line in a novel? 

Clare Di Liscia has shared several of her favorites below.

“He was dead. However, his nose throbbed painfully, which he thought odd in the circumstances.”— Voyager (Outlander, Book 3) by Diana Gabaldon ( @Writer_DG )

“Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her.” — Emma by Jane Austen

“Here is everything I know about France: Madeline and Amélie and Moulin Rouge. The Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, although I have no idea what the function of either actually is. Napoleon, Marie Antoinette, and a lot of kings named Louis. I’m not sure what they did either, but I think it has something to do with the French Revolution, which has something to do with Bastille Day.” — Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins ( @naturallysteph )

This is where the dragons went. They lie... Not dead, not asleep. Not waiting, because waiting implies expectation. Possibly the word we're looking for is... dormant.

Noodlot

Day 10 - January 10, 2019 Acrylic paint, indian ink, and pencil on paper, 15x21 cm. ‘Noodlot’ is the title of a Dutch book (literature) by Louis Couperus (1890) I read during my study of the Dutch language. It means ‘Fate’. The painting is based on the first sentence in the book: “His hands in the pockets, the collar of his fur coat up, Frank walked through the blowing snow, along the lonely Adelaide Road in the evening.” (Google translate Dutch-English). First time I worked with acrylic paint. Because I’m not a good ‘real life’ artist, I followed an online class to learn to to draw lines of action. The first line I mad was with a oencil. After that I took my dip pen and made some extra lines.

I kinda liked it, so I decided to give it some color with acrylic paint. That was awful, because I don’t know anything about colors at all.

I wanted to throw it in the garbage bin, but decided to put on a new layer of paint. And a new one. And... Well, finally it was finished.

"Then Aragorn took the stone and pinned the brooch upon his breast, and those who saw him wondered; for they had not marked before how tall and kingly he stood, and it seemed to them that many years of toil had fallen from his shoulders." 🍵

Which Forest Creature Are You?

Your Result: witch cat ✨ like all cats, you're soft and cute, but may be deceptively so, as you have the mind of a detective. you can be viewed as secretive and mysterious, but you don't mean to be - you simply enjoy being alone and walking off the beaten path. people tend to misunderstand you, as you are typically seen as uncaring and aloof, but in your heart you value friendship and love. you just don't show it very easily and can be picky with a fair few. you could spend hours just watching things and simply observing, like a wallflower. you're constantly on the hunt for novelty and things that make you feel something profound. you're the perfect companion to witches, and anything for that matter - you don't mind the silence, and you offer well-intentioned thoughtfulness and honesty in your presence, which is rare to see. you're like a dappled shadow - quiet, but comforting.
