Well, you could start by creating a comfortable atmosphere. For example, say something like 'Let's just relax and share our stories.' Then, you might begin with a general question such as 'What's one thing that always makes you happy?' This can lead to more in - depth parts of my story as I start to open up.
To start, think about an interesting event or situation that you want to be at the heart of the story. For example, if it's an adventure story, you could tell me about a mysterious place you've always imagined the character exploring. Then I can build on that.
You could start with a really interesting character. Just introduce someone really unique, like a wizard who lives in a treehouse.
Begin with a setting. Say something like 'In a small village surrounded by mountains, there was an old, rickety house.' This gives the reader an idea of where the story is taking place right from the start.
You could start by setting the scene. For example, if it's about his early days in the NBA, start with the draft day, how excited he was to be part of the Lakers.
Just relax and focus. Give me your full attention.
First, you need to be confident. Believe that your voice has a unique story to tell. Start by simply speaking out your thoughts, don't overthink it. For example, if you have an interesting experience, just start narrating it as if you're talking to a friend. Don't worry about grammar or how perfect it sounds at first.
You could start with a catchy opening line like 'Once upon a time in a world very different from our own...' This immediately grabs the listener's attention and sets the stage for an interesting story.
Just start by thinking about your personal experiences with CDPH. It could be as simple as a visit to a CDPH - affiliated clinic.
You can start from the very beginning, like when the most significant event in your story took place.
Just begin at the beginning. Think about the most important moment or event in the story and start from there.
