Helo,
This is my biggest question while im writing my fiction novel. It'll be great if someone can help.
So, I already plotted all the scenes, had all the key characters in mind, I have the beginning of the story(chronologically), and some other important keys in a story.
I've been trying to start this novel from various points in the novel's timeline, but all of them seemed to be wrong, for example I might end up having to put too much flashbacks, or maybe the story just started out straightly random.
I thought my problem was describing things, worrying that I should always expect the reader to know everything about the world before they'll understand the story, but I realized that's not the problem. I'm able to keep the reader get along with the story as well as avoiding the info dump and such.
So yeah, how do I determine the beginning? Please give example too, that would help a lot (like in LOTR, the beginning was obvious, when they discovered the ring and gandalf happened to be here).
Help appreciated!
cheers
