How To Start A Story




As a writer, among the many hard and confusing decisions that you will make is on how to start your story. If you have been there or have actually tried, you find that everyone that you decide to take sounds all too familiar or doesn't give the momentum that you need. Some know how to get the story started, but have no idea on where to go after that. The best news, however, is that it is your story to tell, and you can either start with a vision or from the past. Here are some of the ways that you can start that story without the worries of getting it right.


First or all, when you are writing a story and you decide to start it off by imagining or describing a world that you would want to live in. you have to make the reader relate, not find it too unrealistic or fantastical. The traditional way is to start with a problem and then close with a solution but when you start with something like "what if", you are starting off with hopes and possibility. This is a phrase that tells the readers to suspend what believes and reality there is and get into your world of thoughts and future possibilities. While you are at it, don't wonder too much into the dream world lest your readers will be lost somewhere along the way. After this, you can then show them how the possibility can be achieved or is real, and then talk about the challenges standing between now and then. Click here to learn more.
