Well, we could start with a strong statement or a question. Like 'There was a secret that changed everything.' or 'What if you woke up in a completely different world?'. This grabs the reader's attention right away.
One way to start our story is to introduce the setting. Imagine a small, sleepy town with cobblestone streets and old houses. We can describe the smell of fresh bread from the local bakery, the sound of children playing in the park. This kind of detailed setting can draw the reader in and set the mood for the rest of the story.
Prayer is the first step. Through sincere prayer, we can communicate our willingness to let God take the reins. It's like having a conversation with God, saying 'I'm ready for you to guide my story.'
Just start with a problem or a question. Say, 'What if a normal person woke up one day and found they could read people's minds?' This creates mystery and makes the reader want to know more.
One way to start a love story is with a dialogue. For instance, we can begin with a phone call. 'Hello? Is this the right number?' 'I think you have the wrong number.' But there's something in the voices of the two speakers that catches their attention. This kind of unexpected start can draw the readers in and make them wonder what will happen next.
Well, first, we can think about a really interesting concept or idea. It could be something like a unique world, a strange character, or an exciting event. For example, a world where people can fly or a character who has the ability to read minds. Once we have that, we can start building on it.
To let the author of life write your story, simply trust the process. Let go of excessive control. For example, when making career choices, instead of forcing a particular path because it seems logical, wait for signs and opportunities that seem to be nudging you in a certain direction. It's about surrendering to the bigger plan that the 'author' has in store for you.
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.
We could start with a character. For example, a young girl named Lily who lives in a small village.
Begin with our shared interests. Focus on how those things brought us closer and how we can build more stories around them. For example, if we both love music, we could start the new story with a concert we attended together and make it a more magical experience than it was in real life.
First, we need to pray. Through prayer, we communicate with God and open our hearts to His will. For example, in Philippians 4:6 - 7, it says 'Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.' Prayer is a way to submit our desires and let God start writing our story.
Just start with an idea that interests you. Maybe it's a character, a setting, or a problem. Don't worry too much about being perfect at the beginning.
