I've been playing with the first 100 words of some of my books. To avoid cutting off in the middle of a sentence, I'll go to 100 and then add the rest of the sentence in question.
Here be the first 100 words of The Silver Skateboard
‘Yee-hah!’
I jumped on my skateboard and rode it down the garden path. Cottle-de-cottle-de-cottle-de-
CLONK. It stopped at the fence.
I
stepped off and carried the skateboard back to the house.
‘Yee-hah!’
I jumped on and rode it down the path again. Cottle-de-cottle-de-cottle-de-
CLONK.
Back
to the house.
‘Yee-hah!’
Cottle-de-cottle-de-cottle-de-
‘Wiley
Tyler, stop that noise!’ yelled Mum from the kitchen door.
-CLONK.
‘But
Mum, you told me not to ride it inside!’
Mum
stuck her hands on her hips. ‘I also told you to wait until we go to the
skate-park.’
‘When
will that be?’
‘When I have time to take
you!’
