TODAY'S CHALLENGE!!!!!

SOLVE THE FIRST LINE OF THE PUZZLE QUOTE

BEFORE COMPLETING THE SECOND LINE

5 minutes good

3 minutes excellent

2 minutes superior

1 minute or less is off the chart

This is a good one today, that opens up like a ripe melon the more you study it.

Extra 10 points if you can get the name of the author without peeking.

Look over the clues that are there for you, BEFORE you start.

Not too complex.

Letter combo on words 3 and 4 opens it up.

Think of how sentences usually go, and you’ll make the right choice; inadvertently fulfilling the quote, by the way.

Bit of a challenge. There are no “give aways” today. Author is unknown to me... no help whatsoever.
