Irys has a post up: The WiP Meme. I thought I’d join the fun. Not exactly sure what a meme is but since when has knowing what I was getting into stopped me??
First lines from WIPs:

Simple Sarah – Sarah could hear her father’s voice carrying all the way from the shop to the kitchen in the back.
Long Lea – Moving rocks from the field is hard work, especially when you are a scrawny 10 year old girl.
Centric – For one, the noise level was too close to painful.
Wayback – On a dirt road not too far over the Durkhforn Mountains, a group of five could be seen walking at a slow pace, seeming to be in no hurry to reach their destination.

Dog Days – “Hello.” Masco dared to stand.
Predictable World – I had arranged my world to be predictable and orderly.
The Guide – Rebecca looked out over the canyon, looking for the twinkle that would show her where Marcus was.
Truck Stop – There was something about the way she walked; a certain swagger to her steps that separated her from most women.
The Piano Bar – As I enter the bar, my eyes begin to sting from the cigarette smoke.
Eegads. Some of those are ghastly! note to self: pay better attention to first lines
