CBC is sponsoring a contest for writers: write an opening sentence that breaks as many of Elmore Leonard's rules for writers as possible. There are ten rules, all of them quite reasonable, which is what makes it so much fun to try and break them all.

Heehee! I love writing these things. Nothing like an excuse to get really purple!
