Starting Out

Why is it so hard to start a story? The ending and middle is so easy, but it's the beginning that totally kicks my ass. Maybe it's because of all the pressure that is put on that first sentence to draw in the readers--to get them interested. I think that sucks.

Here I am, staring at the words 'Chapter 1,' as I try to figure out how to start the story. I already know everything that's going to happen and how it's going to happen. But I can't figure out the first frickin' line. Or how to start this thing.

Argh.

  1. Come on Katie! You can do it! Maybe you should start in the middle and then figure out how it should start. I hope you have an awesome Thanksgiving!!
