I'm not a particularly large fan of any of these, they are all rather bland, however if I was told to choose, i'd probably pick #6, 15, 16, or 17. i just think they draw you in the most or kinda let the character shine through. Maybe, maybe not, but idk, i like them the most. as for patterns,,, i really like song titles as lyrics, and the only reason eight of these have "day __" there is bc i decided to do Chanukah fics. also, all my opening sentences tend to be very expository.
