How to Start Your Story?

Hynes, J. (2014). Writing Good Fiction: Storytelling Tips and Techniques: Course
Guidebook. Virginia: The Teaching Company. Free PowerPoint Templates
 How shall I begin?

There are three separate

questions:
1. the artistic question
2.the logistical question
3.the psychological question
Free PowerPoint Templates
 The artistic question is:

What is this story about?

What’s the idea you want to explore?
You may have an entire plot worked out in
your head already, or you may have only a
character or a situation in mind. Whatever it
is, something has motivated you to write.

 The logistical question:
The logistical question relates to the technical
aspects of starting a story, the basic decisions you
have to make at the start even if you don’t know
everything about your story. This is actually a
number of questions combined, such as: Who’s
telling the story? What verb tense will you use?
What voice is the story in? These early choices can
be daunting because every decision you make will
have consequences later on, many of which you can’t
foresee Free PowerPoint Templates
 The psychological question:
the psychological question relates to how you gear up
— emotionally—to begin. Even published writers
become anxious about starting something new. Trying
to leap that psychological hurdle involves being able to
answer the first two questions, at least in part. That, in
turn, ratchets up the anxiety, because there’s so much
you could worry about in advance that it’s a wonder
anyone ever starts at all
