Instead of trying to write a great first page, create interesting characters and let them do the work for you.

You get only one short sentence to attract your readers.

The best story beginning is the simplest.

Most movies are eerily similar to other movies.  Nearly all romantic movies are the same story.

The idea that stories must have an exciting, action-packed beginning is false.

As you write every sentence of your story, read each one aloud and ask yourself, “Is this sentence easy to read, and is it enjoyable?”
