I know just how my critique partner feels; she said, of her WIP's first sentence, "That's the best first sentence I've ever written."

But I think mysteries benefit a lot from revision, which is my favorite stage. You can work back and forth and plant things.<br /><br />Faith -- I think I'll say "readers who like ____ and ___ might like this." Just seems a better way to try to state it.<br /><br />Barbara and Mirka -- I totally get that. I declined to participate in a meme that wanted you to post a significant portion (I thought, anyway) of the work. And I would not want to try to discuss a WIP that was in very early stages.<br /><br />Medeia -- Thanks!

(Once it’s boiling you can’t shut me up…) So I have to regretfully pass. I’m at a tender stage where I’m almost done with the bare-bones first draft.
