Here's a fun game, write the first paragraph of the most disappointing novel you can think of. I'll go first:
Vampire Sex Wars
by Jeff Baker
Chapter 1:
"I don't know why we called it the Vampire Sex Wars," said Jeremy as he reflected on his part in the events in question, "There was no sex involved, and vampires don't exist as far as I know. Also, it was really more of an argument than a war. In truth, this is a tale of the banality of life for a Scottish accountant during the bagpipe shortage of '87."
Okay, now let's see what you can come up with!
