Quite a few of those opening lines show some promise. The God-at-a-pub bit reminds me of a 20th Century English poem, "What Thomas an Buile Said At a Pub". The big problem, of course, is following Heinlein's rules of writing:
1. You must WRITE. 2. You must FINISH what you write. 3. Once finished, you must SELL what you write.
We all have problems with number 3, but number 2 is easier. I cope with it by doing a lot of cliffhangers. That means I have to keep coming back to see what happens next, even if I have to write it. The fun part is, gee, some people are actually READING these things. Just don't ask me how many!
