There are some books that have great opening and finishing lines. They’re the ones that grab you to begin with and make you think and leave you inspired at the end.
One of my favourites is “I Capture the Castle”. It’s a lovely story, but I like the way it starts and ends. (and everything in between)
First Line: “I write this sitting in the kitchen sink.”
Last Line: “There is only one page left to write on. I will fill it with words of only one syllable. I love. I have loved. I will love.”
Try this, write an opening line and a closing line. Now connect the dots, what happens in between?
