| Aug 6, 2023 at 17:35 | comment | added | abluepelican | Thank you Wetcircuit for the input. I don't see a problem with it, but after reading so many opinions, I lacked confidence which led to the problem (in my mind) of whether I was doing the right thing. Therefore, I sought input from experienced authors. Upon reviewing your profile, and realizing you have knowledge, I'm going full steam ahead with my gut feeling. | |
| Aug 6, 2023 at 11:47 | comment | added | wetcircuit | We all deserve a little hand-holding and encouragement... Your question doesn't actually ask a 'problem' that needs to be 'solved' (I did not vote-to-close but their reason is 'needs clarity'). I think I speak for everyone when I say that opening sounds fine, not at all weird or controversial, so we're not seeing any reason NOT to open that way.... It's why I asked how it is different to a 'normal' opening chapter, to ask what you feel the problem might be.... (If you don't see a problem, and we don't see a problem, there is maybe no problem?) ;D | |
| Aug 6, 2023 at 2:41 | comment | added | abluepelican | The reason I am asking is, I create from an uneducated writing background. I was 'discovered' by a website owner in 2016 from my nightly rants on my social media page about society and its behavior. She liked my ability to tell a story. Well, now...I am trying to write a novel, yet do not have the financial wherewithal to take English courses or unlimited time. At 65 years old, I live on borrowed time. I've accumulated ideas and done brief outlines of over one hundred titles over the last 30+ years. My goal is to finish them. My questions might sound basic, but your answers...help a lot. | |
