Eric Goodman's Fiction Published in The Washington Post
NaNoWriMo Author Makes Good!
Eric D. Goodman, a contributor to this site, is published in The Washington Post. An excerpt from his NoNo-novel-in-progress, Dead Ends, was published in the Sunday edition of The Washington Post. It's the first line from his new novel.
Visit Writeful (www.writeful.blogspot.com) for more information. Or see "Soon to be Famous First Lines" in The Washington Post.
Here's the soon-to-be-famous first line!
"Some people believe that overexposure can desensitize a person: that a doctor, for example, becomes so used to seeing naked bodies and their various parts that he can no longer see the person lying next to him in his own bed; that the massage specialist becomes so tired of caressing the skin of her clients that she can no longer feel the touch of others as they caress her; some people believe that by teaching a soldier to kill, you make them forget the sanctity of life, or that a funeral home director no longer feels the sting of death when the life drains out of the ones he knows and loves.
