IDEAS FOR YOUR OPENING SCENE
Would any of the following ideas serve you better?
A DIALOGUE – The spoken voice has a directness that not only grabs the reader, but is key to developing character. DIALOGUE with the reader is another great way to open a story, in which case you will probably want to use the second person (i.e. “you”), and consider whether or not you need quotation marks.
A CHASE – A hunt or chase scene yields lots of opportunity for action, intrigue and mystery. Who’s after what? Will they get it? What will happen if they do? What will happen if they don’t?
A MONOLOGUE – Self-talk, a telephone conversation or a speech can be just as revealing as a dialogue. In fact, it can sometimes be difficult to categorise them. Does talking to the reader count as dialogue or monologue? Is either limited by whether the voice is internal or external?
A DEPARTURE – A man goes on a journey or…
AN ARRIVAL – a stranger comes to town.
A SECRET ACT AND/OR PLACE – Someone who’s doing something they shouldn’t can tell us a lot about the character, but also about the rules of the world they inhabit. Not to mention the added element of tension and mystery.
