QuickWrite of the Day #46: Favourite Lines
"Writing can be used as a vehicle to express ourselves as we negotiate the journey through our lives” (Gallagher, 2011: p. 24)
Today’s QuickWrite:
Quickly brainstorm a short list of your favourite first lines from the books you’ve read which resonate with you right now. You can list them, make a visual map, collage or a graffiti page —whatever you like!

What real-life experiences can you connect this quote to? Does it remind you of something you’ve seen, experienced or read about recently?
