1. Open the link "50 Best First Sentences in Fiction"

2. Spend 5 minutes scrolling through. Take your time. Read as many as possible.

3. Pick your favorite. What do you find interesting about it? Why does it make you want to read the rest of the story?

4. Type the first sentence (just copy/paste it from the website)

5. Type a short explanation of why you chose it. If you're stuck, think:

Does it set the scene with interesting details?

What does it tell me about the main character?

What problem or conflict does it present?
