I have been writing for almost two decades. When it comes to beginnings and endings, I rarely can come up with something that works on the first try. This is especially the case for beginnings. When you open a book, you want to make the reader feel obligated to read the rest of the book. Not as if you are threatening them though. You want them to like the beginning of the book so much that they have a need to read the rest. How do we begin then? How can we look at beginnings so that we bring about that result? I am not here to tell you there is a silver bullet. I do not think there is ever a silver bullet in writing. I do not thinking you are lucky to catch lightning in a bottle. I do not think good books are based on luck. They are based on craft, patience, hard-work, the ingenuity of the author, etc. . . And because they are not based on luck, I actually think you can shift your mindset to find better ways to write. In this episode, I am going to talk about what I have found to be the most useful way to look at the beginning of your book.
