how do you all start creative writing with a small blurb or a quote that captures the entire meaning of your creative piece. is it made up or an actual quote from somewhere

 

[Tryingtodowell]

can you give an example please

 

[theaeneid]

they're called epigraphs, and an example would be something like "You are all a lost generation." - Gertrude Stein, which is used in Hemingway's 'The Sun also Rises' --> they're are at the beginning of a piece

 

[Tryingtodowell]

yay thanks!
