It’s Friday again, so you know what that means. It’s #FirstLineFriday!
Now if you don’t know what #FirstLineFriday is, let me break it down for you. On Fridays you:
- Write a post on your blog called #FirstLineFirday, hashtag and all
- Explain the rules like I’m doing now
- Post the first one or two lines of a potential story, a story-in-progress, or a completed or published story
- Ask your readers for feedback and encourage them to do their own #FirstLineFriday on their own blog.
This week’s entry comes from a short story idea I’ve been hanging on for a while now, but haven’t written yet. It’s got a very interesting premise, if you ask me, and part of that premise is explained in the first couple of lines. Enjoy:
Some famous guy once said, “I think, therefore I am.” To that, I would like to add, “I imagine, therefore I can become.”
Thoughts? Errors? Let’s discuss in the comments below.
And if you enjoyed reading #FirstLineFriday, why not try writing #FirstLineFriday? Trust me everyone, it’s a lot of fun coming up with the beginning lines of a story each week. Sometimes it can actually get ideas flowing in your head and help you come up with new stories. So why not try it?
That’s all for now. If I have anything else to talk about this weekend, I’ll be posting it here. See you later, Followers of Fear!
I love that quote! I find it very inspirational!
Thanks Kat! I wonder what you’d think of the rest of the story though…
Hahaha you make it sound so sinister.
Well, it’s supernatural fiction, and I don’t know how much horror will go into the story. So yes, possibly it’ll be a very sinister story.
okay, get it!
You mean, get ti to you so you can read it no matter how scary it is? OKAY!
NOOOO! Get the scary away from me!!!
Well, why didn’t you say so? I was so confused.
Mayb change “some” to “A” but that’s all i can think of. I like it!
Thanks Joleene! I really like the idea behind this line, so hopefully when I write the actual story the middle and end will match the beginning.
I’m sure they will 😀
