My Novel's First Line

"I kinda started liking you after I had a dream."  

That's what I found scribbled on a folded note on the floor of my classroom a couple of weeks ago.  I don't know exactly which of my third graders wrote it,  but I have a pretty good idea.

Upon reading the note,  I immediately decided that this would be a fantastic opening for a novel.  I really have no idea what the novel will be about or who the main characters will be nor what these characters will conflict in.  

I do know, that I will use that line to open the book.  It will be a big novel about something really cool.  It will be good.  Really good.
