Question
quotIt was a dark and stormy night.quot How does this sound as the first sentence in my new novel?
Answer
Sounds like youre channeling the spirit of Bulwer Lytton or whatever his name was. If the rest of the work is sufficiently compelling, go ahead and start with a cliche just be aware your reader may not take it that seriously at first.brbrOld sayings aside, more than one talented artist has made a silk purse out of a sows ear.
