It's not a rule, and it is not like I never use them, but I personally wouldn't use an adverb in the first sentence, not in this way. I'm also not fond of joining sentences with an 'as', but it is not as bad as starting a sentence with an 'as'. <br /><br />I think the CBC challenge is what it is -- a challenge, not just a contest. Literary challenges are known for weird restrictions. Check out the challenges that Narrative puts out! <br /><br />From this perspective, it was a fun exercise, and it forced me to tweak my boundaries!Ania Vesennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06267716481843824460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751870965231255706.post-57739411888908558852010-12-08T16:04:02.997-08:002010-12-08T16:04:02.997-08:00Is it the word malevolently you don't like?

I admit I'm shocked they're offering it up as a first line in a contest...I would never...In my writing I try to stick to that as well even though even Stephen King says it's ok on occasion(as opposed to occasionally ;). Best of luck to you :)<br /><br />BreezeCarolyn R. Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14529999558075983828noreply@blogger.com
