I wanted to let the readers think, what's going on? Then I have it going straight back to a memorable day. I take it back because I want the reader to think how does it go from that to this and back again to that. Sorry if I don't make sense,lol. Basically, I want to keep the readers thinking and WANTING to read on. Hope I helped x The novel I am writing at the moment I had planned to start it with an action scene.

Sometimes, it helps to listen to music and play your story in your head like a film. then after just a few minutes of letting your mind roam, you'll know where to begin. =) hope this helped a little Well, all of my stories have come from dreams that keep playing further the more i have them so where ever my dream starts off, that’s where my story scene does.

Most of my main characters are school-age, so I'll usually have them go to school, talk a little bit about the first two periods of the day (establish friends, personality traits, etc.), and then really focus on the giant monster that ripped off the roof of the school during lunch and how my main character destroyed it in front of 600-odd people.
