Not been to the Winter Gardens for years. At my last visit it was all looking a little sad and neglected. Looks like it's had some work done?

Sky Hawkins - "Our Bodies, Our Rules"
I first saw her perform at Arts Centre Washington, then again as she supported a group of Teens performing at City Library, Sunderland. I felt her presence through other poets in the North East. She was a force to be reckoned with, I think.
Find peace, Sky Hawkins.

Overused openings in a novel: the weather. Waking up. A fight scene. Dialogue without context.
#Writers please add to the list. What have you encountered in an opening sentence one too many times?
