I apologize for the confusion. It's the fill in the blank line. The quote is from a poet about how originality comes from the writer, not the content. Since we are all using the same first line for our stories, we should be able to see that in our finished works, I hope!
I think it's just the first line bit, not the quote. There was another first line prompt last year - about Rocky Germain. I did my Game of Drones from it.
I hope I find the time to have a go at this one too.
i think I will! been a bit daunted by the work in my queue… a prompt takes away some of the pressure! and i didnt like the last prompt…couldnt get ricky gervais out of my head!!!!

Haha. Good luck with this one! I find a prompt helps when I'm stuck on motivation, inspiration, just general life. It's tough out there!
