Develop a story , beginning thus
Answers
Answer:
Every story has to start somewhere. It almost doesn’t matter how you start, but it matters that you start. So start your story. Whatever it takes to get you writing.
Later, the start of your story will matter very much, because it’s the first thing people will read, and if it doesn’t work, they won’t read on. Even if you’ve written the most brilliant piece of fiction this century – especially if that’s what you’ve written – pay particular attention to the beginning so that the rest of your work gets the chance it deserves to shine.
So, how to begin a story? Let's start with just one basic tip: you don’t have to begin at the beginning. You can start it at any point in the process. You don’t have to stick with the first line you think of. Or the second, or the third. The only thing that matters is that the beginning of your story hooks its reader and makes them want to read on. It’s worth taking time to think of good ways to start your story, so follow our tips on how to write your beginning.
Spark a reader’s interest
At the start of a story, all you want is for readers to read on. So make sure you begin in a way that makes them want to with our tips. Pose a question; introduce a character; set a scene; lure them in with enticing prose; lay a clue to the direction the novel is going to take; plant the seeds of an idea; create a dramatic impression; give them a taste of action. There are lots of ways to start a story but what they all have in common is that to be effective they need to make a reader want to carry on reading. The first few lines are the calling card to get readers (which vitally means agents, editors and publishers) interested enough in your story to read on.
Put a character in a setting
No, we don’t mean ‘it was a dark and stormy night’, the flowery opening to Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s Paul Clifford that is now regarded as a benchmark of bad writing. But you could introduce a place and create an atmosphere. ‘Grandma was laying out the cups for the funeral tea when I remembered I’d left the safe open’. ‘Mingus always slept on the red blanket in the back room’. ‘Laurence realised he’d left his phone in the office’ and ‘He couldn’t see the road for mist’ all locate someone in a place at the same time as introducing elements that invite people to read on. Whose funeral? What is in the safe? Why does Mingus sleep on that particular blanket? What are the implications of Laurence going back to the office? Whose journey is being stalled by mist, and where are they? Straight away, we have characters, locations, and questions begging to be answered.
