My first NaNo sentence ever:
[b]The computer lab in the science building was unusually messy that day. /b]
Kind of bland, but I really couldn't be happier with my progress so far! |

Must resist urge to edit and make it sound less awful...
Throughout Grandeur there was the hiss off scorching steam, and the rattling of half-rusted pipes, the normal mass frantic movement of crew throbbing through the corridors, laden with coal, spare parts, some rolling barrels of water down echoing steel ramps.
I keep saying things are rusted when I really shouldn't. |

Duskglimmer, that's a pretty excellent way to start a novel. Be sure to share it with us, ne?
... and Your Highness, King Kamor, it's much better than the first line of my first NaNoWriMo attempt.  |

Not sure how well that really works, but eh. I can always rip it apart/change it later when I get this thing finished. |
