Top 5 Sunrise by Vit Peyr
Excerpt of
Flight in the Clouds
Darvin treasured the quiet moments of dawn. He was crouched among the rocks on the shore, and anyone looking would mistake him for another rock. Cold from the rocks and sea spray seeped into him. As the dwarvish do, he embraced the chill after a night of warm dreams.
As the sun rose higher, the yellow sky was garlanded by purple and orange blossoms. Some dwarvish cousins spend their lives underground never seeing a sunrise, but Darvin’s Mountain Clan live above ground. Darvin could not imagine life without sunrises to center him.
His father, Wizen, lay gravely ill. The peacefulness of the sunrise helped Darvin face his fear. If his father did not pull through, his childhood would be over. He would be Laird of the Mountain Clan. He was only 16. All the responsibility would be his. He told himself to breathe, just breathe. He let the cold bring him back to himself, then he headed home, climbing far up Clan Mountain.
His family longhouse was made of stone, blending seamlessly into the mountain. His uncle Forst was sitting on a boulder plucking a chicken.

Thanks! I had to work it and rework it. It’s funny how the beginning can be the hardest part, and there you are trying so hard to breathe life into your characters and free them. I find I usually have to go back and rework the beginning multiple times because I was in such a rush to get the story down.

Same with me. The beginning is really the toughest part to write.

I always make a pact with myself — I will go back to it. Then I can keep going even if the beginning doesn’t start out as wonderful and shining as I want it to.
