I have a question for the writers on my FList.
Do you have a phrase that you've always wanted to write a story around? Or a sentence that you are just waiting for the opportunity to use?
I'm just curious. I know I've had this one sentence in my mind since... I don't even remember, but it's been years.
I dunno where it came from. Just that I hear a young woman saying it, someone with great power or potential, but knows that using it will only end in grief. It's been bouncing around my brain for a long time.
I think I subconsciously write many of my characters are the phrase. I have these two story ideas, long winding tales, and they both revolve around two very different women. But both of them are sort of exemplified by that sentence.
Anyone have something similar?

I am the rise and fall of Rome all in one.

I also have a Word file with various quotations and phrases that I find inspiring, or that I think would make good titles/prompts.
