Grab a random book and borrow the first sentance. Use that sentance in a story or as a line in a poem.
How’d it turn out?
Edit January 1, 2010:
I used the first line from Enchantress from the Stars by Sylvia Louise Engdahl (amazing young adult novel!), which is “The planet shines below us, cloud-flicked, dazzling against the dark backdrop of space.” I’m not going to share exactly what I wrote, because I might develop the idea further. When I was writing, I found it very hard to stay in present tense, because I usally write in past tense. Present or Past? What do you use?
