#63:The Worst Opening Sentence Of All Time

<p>It was a dark and stormy night, the beer fell down our throats in torrents, except when we missed our mouths and soiled our trousers. </p> <p>Today, we cover what is considered to be the worst opening line to a novel in all of human history. But don't take our word for it. There's a whole contest dedicated to it! We discuss why the opening sentence is bad, then read a bunch of winners and losers from the 2019 Bulwer Lytton Fiction Contest.</p> <p>You can check out the contest at <a href='https://www.bulwer-lytton.com/'>https://www.bulwer-lytton.com/</a></p> <p>You can also check out our work and hopefully better fiction at <a href='http://www.drunkenpenwriting.com'>www.drunkenpenwriting.com</a></p> <p>Follow us on Twitter @drunkpenwriting</p> <p>On Instagram @drunkenpenwriting</p> <p>And like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/drunkenpenwriting</p>
