Re: Starting a Novel

Post by dakimmel »

I just self-publshed my first novel - a sci-fi action-adventure, that began as a short story, that turned into a novella, that turned into a full-length novel. The opening evolved over time, but eventually found a spot where it simply introduced one of my protagonists and his initial situation. I think it works pretty well at drawing the reader in without attempting to do too much.
