Favorite Line of the Day - NaNo 2020

Was it brilliant writing? So descriptive? Hilarious dialogue? A perfect microcosm of the whole novel? Completely absurd, especially when taken out of context? The only line you could manage today because it was that kind of day? Whatever the reason it's your favorite of the day, share the line with us!

And maybe nothing mattered, but everything changed.

Nov. 2:

"I'm surprised that whatever divine forces that guide the universe had us run into each other so soon. You'd think they would have waited a few more pages or at least until the next chapter for us to meet again."

Nope, he's not being meta or self-aware in the least. Why d'you ask?

“Guys, we could send her a singing telegram. What better way to say, ‘Sorry you maybe got COVID,” than if we could find four guys in virus costumes who would sing ‘Fever’ in four-part harmony. Ooh, we could videotape it and see if it went...viral.”

What was the point of being an alien if there were no special quirks?

"Maybe they want To Serve Man. Maybe they want To Serve Man for dinner. Maybe they want To Serve Man dinner!”

Most of my lines are clunky and horrible at this stage, so I don't usually post favourites. But I like this one:

Feyran, technically, couldn't lie, as none of the fae could, but most of them had learnt to lie very well by speaking truth.

He imagined her as a Disney princess, Mulan with her hair braided in the morning by birds like Cinderella.

Sage · Nov 8, 2020

He remembered being a kid and hearing that the green metal block that held electronic equipment was called a “transformer.” He wondered what humanoid shape and vehicle it turned into. He spent days trying to convince it to change. Finally he got on the internet to do some research, only to find out that it had nothing to do with Transformers at all. Man, he loved Bumblebee, though

It is worth noting at this point that Liam Ky was a perfectly ordinary fifteen-year-old, male member of the species Homo sapiens sapiens.

(It was the only line of the day, but I liked it enough to put it here instead of "last line")

"Watching the fairies having a bunny rodeo in our backyard was probably the best thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life."

Later and semi-related:

"Mother, do you know what rabbits laughing sounds like and to listen to them laughing knowing they’re laughing at you?"

Menus were not written by hostages.

What if they were looking for the long-lost royalty, after deciding that democracy was democrazy?

Based on the way Mia’s shoulders fell with disappointment, he suspected 16 wasn’t all that older than 15. Maybe fewer pimples, though.

Zo liked this person. Why couldn’t they be solid? And human? Okay, just a few complications.
