No, that defeats the purpose of giving you a quote in the first place. sorry

if they said use this quote as an opening my thought would be no

but then again can they really deduct marks if you changed the person? i dunno, like would you get a whole band lower... don't think so :/

if they said use as a stimulus you can change it

In some cases you could probably just adapt that to 3rd person by saying like "
plagued the mind of X" where X = a random character

if that makes sense

I change from 3rd to first then back in my creative, I believe it's normally ok.
However if they give you it as a stimulus.... you never know.... it's a gamble when the BOS is involved...

Use the quote as an opening mind, like if its first person hve it set the scene.

Then do * * * (These three asteriks things indicate a change in tense or timeline iono I.E FLASHBACK).

Continue with your creative in 3rdperson that follows up the beginning. I do that if worst comes to worst.
