For a long while now, I've procrastinated writing a story that I've been longing to write for a long time.
I don't think I would have any trouble with continuing the story once I am able to begin it, but that is where I feel like I fall flat.
I don't trust or like my way of beginning a story.
That is my problem for a lot of things. I cannot continue reading a story if I am not dragged into it through the first few paragraphs or so, and I am sure that if it happens to me, it can happen to others, and I want to try and prevent that as much as possible. I am not entirely sure what information I can leave out or keep in to keep a story interesting enough. I need a third-person party to judge my work without the bias that I have. Naturally, I have the easiest access to the nicer of peoples, those being the Bronies on this forum, so I wanted to ask you.
I will give any information you may need, such as a scrap of the story that you can review or critique. But, as it is right now, is there any basic ideas that can help? Hopefully nothing that seems too obvious.
I can say that I have tried somewhat to look into how other more popular stories begin, but I still don't entirely trust my own judgement. I'm probably just being a worrywart about this, but I would rather ask others to be sure.
Any attempt to help would be appreciated, for sure.
